What We Treat
Microneedling is one of the most effective, minimally invasive treatments for skin renewal. Using a precise device to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, it activates your body’s natural healing response — producing new collagen and elastin right where you need it most.
At Forever Young Aesthetics, every microneedling session begins with a thorough skin evaluation. We customize depth, technique, and aftercare to your specific skin type and concerns so you leave with results that look refreshed, not done.
“True beauty comes from feeling good about yourself. Every treatment is designed to enhance what makes you, you.”
Benefits of Microneedling
Unlike topical treatments, microneedling works from within — rebuilding what time, sun, and stress have taken from your skin.
Stimulates Collagen Production
Micro-injuries trigger your skin’s repair process, generating fresh collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient skin over time.
Reduces Acne Scars
Repeated sessions break down scar tissue and rebuild smooth skin in its place — one of the most effective non-surgical approaches to acne scarring.
Smoothens Fine Lines
New collagen plumps the skin from within, softening the appearance of fine lines and early wrinkles without freezing your natural expression.
Evens Skin Tone & Texture
Improves the look of enlarged pores, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation for a more uniform, glowing complexion.
Safe for Most Skin Types
Unlike laser treatments, microneedling is suitable for a wide range of skin tones and types, including more sensitive complexions.
Natural-Looking Results
Results build gradually as collagen renews, so improvements look like your skin at its best — not like you had a treatment.
What Microneedling Addresses
If your skin has been holding on to these concerns, microneedling may be the treatment your skin has been waiting for.
Acne Scars & Post-Breakout Marks
Ice pick, rolling, and boxcar scars respond well to microneedling. Collagen remodeling gradually fills and smooths depressed scarring with each session.
Fine Lines & Early Wrinkles
Particularly effective around the forehead, eyes, and mouth — areas where natural collagen loss shows up first.
Enlarged Pores
Increased skin firmness and collagen around pores makes them appear visibly smaller and less noticeable.
Uneven Skin Texture
Rough, bumpy, or dull skin regains a smoother surface as new skin cells cycle to the top and old damage is replaced.
Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage
Stimulates new cell turnover to fade dark spots, melasma, and uneven pigmentation caused by sun exposure and hormonal changes.
Stretch Marks & Skin Laxity
Collagen stimulation helps reduce the appearance of stretch marks and improves skin firmness and overall tone.
Wondering how microneedling compares to a chemical peel? Our blog breaks down the key differences — which is right for your skin goals, recovery expectations, and when you might want to combine both.
What to Expect at Your Visit
From the moment you walk in, every step is designed around your comfort and confidence — never rushed, always personalized.
Consultation & Skin Assessment
We evaluate your skin concerns, medical history, and goals to confirm microneedling is the right fit and customize your treatment plan.
Numbing & Preparation
A topical numbing cream is applied and left on for about 30 minutes so your session is as comfortable as possible from the start.
Treatment
Your provider gently passes the device across the treatment area. Most clients describe a mild vibrating sensation. The face typically takes 20–30 minutes.
Aftercare & Glow Serum
A calming serum is applied immediately after to support healing. We review your aftercare instructions and answer every question before you leave.
How Many Sessions Will You Need?
Results vary depending on your skin concerns, skin type, and lifestyle — but most people begin to see meaningful improvements within the first few sessions.
Maintenance Glow
1–2 Sessions
Ideal for patients who want a general skin refresh, a boost of radiance before an event, or light maintenance of results already achieved.
Most Common
3–4 Sessions
The standard course for treating fine lines, enlarged pores, mild scarring, and general skin texture concerns. Sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart.
Deeper Concerns
5–6+ Sessions
Recommended for moderate to deep acne scarring, significant skin laxity, or hyperpigmentation requiring sustained collagen remodeling over time.
Recovery
Downtime & Aftercare
Microneedling requires minimal downtime. Most people return to their regular routine within a day or two — here’s what to expect.
Day 1–2
Redness & Sensitivity
Your skin will appear pink to red — similar to a mild sunburn. Avoid makeup, active skincare, and direct sun exposure during this phase.
Day 2–4
Mild Dryness & Flaking
Some peeling and dryness is completely normal. Gentle hydration and mineral SPF are your best friends during this window.
Day 5–7
Initial Glow Appears
Skin starts to settle and your first signs of improvement become visible — a cleaner, brighter, and smoother look begins to emerge.
Weeks 4–8
Collagen Remodeling
Deeper improvements continue beneath the surface. Collagen synthesis peaks 4–6 weeks post-treatment, with continued gains up to 3 months.
Aftercare Guidelines
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 72 hours — wear SPF 30+ when outdoors
- Skip retinols, exfoliating acids, and active serums for 5–7 days post-treatment
- Use only gentle, fragrance-free cleansers and moisturizers during healing
- Do not apply foundation or heavy makeup for at least 24–48 hours
- Stay hydrated and avoid intense heat (saunas, hot yoga) for 48 hours
- Use a clean pillowcase the first night to minimize irritation
- Contact us immediately if you experience anything unexpected or unusual

During your consultation, we’ll review your full health history to confirm this treatment is safe and right for you.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes — and it often produces even better results when it does. Microneedling pairs well with chemical peels, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), and certain laser treatments. We’ll discuss safe combination options during your consultation based on your specific skin goals.

When will I see results?
Initial improvements in glow and texture are often visible within 5–7 days as redness subsides. Deeper results from collagen remodeling continue to develop over 4–8 weeks, with the most significant changes typically visible after a series of 3–4 sessions.
Is microneedling painful?
Most patients describe a mild tingling or vibrating sensation — not pain. We apply a topical numbing cream for 30 minutes before treatment to keep you comfortable throughout. Any sensitivity typically fades within hours after your session.
