Microneedling
Boost Collagen and Tighten Skin with Microneedling:
Transform Your Skin with Expert Care at Emerald Skin Lab.
Proven Results
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses tiny, fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process, which encourages the production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins for youthful, healthy skin.

What to Expect
At a Glance
-
Before your microneedling session, our expert aestheticians will perform a detailed skin consultation to assess your skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes. This ensures that microneedling is the right treatment for you and that we can tailor the procedure to your unique skin needs.
-
We capture photos for your patient profile to track progress over time and monitor your skin’s improvement after each treatment.
-
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, dirt, and oils. This prepares the skin for optimal treatment.
If needed, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
-
After the microneedling procedure, you may experience some redness, similar to a mild sunburn, which is normal and typically lasts 24-48 hours. Your skin will feel slightly sensitive, and you may notice slight dryness or flakiness as it heals. We’ll provide you with detailed aftercare instructions, which may include:
Avoid direct sun exposure.
Hydrate your skin with gentle moisturizers.
Avoid exfoliating for a few days post-treatment.
Use a gentle sunscreen to protect your skin from UV damage.

Follow-Up and Maintainance
Pregnant or Breastfeeding Women: Treatment should be postponed during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Extra caution is advised for individuals with very sensitive skin or darker skin tones (Types V and VI).
Sun Protection: Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks. Use SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Gentle Care: Use mild cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and avoid picking or scratching peeling skin.
Hydration: Use non-comedogenic products.
Rest: Avoid sweating or strenuous activities for a week.
Follow-Up: A single session can provide noticeable results, but for optimal results, we recommend a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. This helps build up collagen and gives your skin time to recover between sessions. For Acne Scars or Deeper Wrinkles: You may need 6-8 sessions to see significant improvements, with maintenance sessions every 3-6 months after the initial series.

The results of microneedling can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on the individual’s skin, treatment goals, and aftercare. However, the benefits from the treatment, such as improved skin texture, reduced wrinkles, and scar healing, are cumulative and develop over time as collagen and elastin production continues in the weeks following the treatment.
Immediate results: Brighter and smoother skin within 1-2 weeks.
Short-term results: Noticeable improvements in skin texture, acne scars, and fine lines over 1-2 months.
Long-term results: Full benefits (tighter skin, reduced wrinkles, fewer scars) are visible after 3-6 months.
Maintenance: Regular sessions and good skincare can help maintain the results for 6 months or longer.
Microneedling is an excellent treatment for long-lasting skin rejuvenation, and by following a consistent skincare routine and scheduling follow-up treatments, you can enjoy vibrant, youthful skin for months to come!

Microneedling and Botox are both effective treatments, but they work in different ways and address different concerns.
Microneedling stimulates collagen production by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin, making it ideal for improving skin texture, reducing acne scars, minimizing pores, and addressing fine lines. It’s a non-invasive treatment that enhances overall skin health.
Botox, on the other hand, is a neurotoxin that temporarily relaxes muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (like crow’s feet and frown lines). It’s specifically designed to target wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements.
Ultimately, microneedling is better for improving skin texture and treating scars, while Botox is more effective for reducing expression lines and wrinkles. For many people, a combination of both treatments can offer the best results.

The frequency of microneedling treatments depends on your individual skin concerns, the goals you're trying to achieve, and how your skin responds to the treatment. Here's a guideline of timeline:
1. Initial Treatment Series (For Optimal Results)
Frequency: Typically, you’ll need a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. This allows time for collagen to build and for your skin to fully heal and regenerate between sessions. Multiple sessions help achieve long-term results like improved texture, reduced acne scars, and a more youthful appearance.
2. Maintenance Treatments
After completing the initial series, you’ll likely need maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months to keep up with the collagen production and maintain the results. Collagen naturally breaks down over time, and maintenance sessions help maintain skin firmness, smoothness, and a fresh appearance.
3. For Specific Concerns (Like Acne Scars or Stretch Marks)
If you’re targeting more specific concerns, like deep acne scars or stretch marks, you might need more frequent sessions initially (closer to 4 weeks apart). Once you see significant improvement, you can switch to less frequent treatments.
