Microneedling at ästhetik spa & skincare
A science-driven treatment that lets your own skin do the heavy lifting.
What is a Microneedling Facial?
Think of microneedling as a workout for your complexion. During the service our licensed estheticians glide the professional pen over pre-numbed skin. The pen’s sterile cartridge pulses dozens of ultra-fine needles at thousands of times per minute, creating precise micro-channels in the epidermis and upper dermis. Each channel is invisible to the naked eye, yet deep enough to wake up your skin’s natural repair crew—fibroblasts. These cells rush in to close the tiny punctures, laying down fresh collagen and elastin in the process. The outcome: firmer, smoother, more even skin without heat damage or long downtime.
Because the channels stay open for only a short window, we finish with a targeted infusion of peptides, antioxidants, and barrier-supporting humectants. Those actives travel directly into the areas where new collagen is forming, super-charging results while keeping irritation to a minimum. Most guests notice a radiant “filter-like” glow within a week and progressive improvements for up to three months as deeper remodeling completes.
Benefits you can see and feel
| Concern | How microneedling helps |
|---|---|
| Fine lines & wrinkles | New collagen fills in creases and improves elasticity. |
| Sun damage & rough texture | Cell turnover speeds up, revealing fresher, smoother skin. |
| Acne and surgical scars | Collagen remodeling raises pitted scars and softens their borders. |
| Large pores & oiliness | Tighter skin around follicles makes pores appear smaller. |
| Hyperpigmentation & melasma | Regulated cell turnover disperses excess pigment more evenly. |
| Stretch marks | Consistent treatments thicken fragile tissue and fade discoloration. |
And, of course, there’s the confidence boost that comes from watching stubborn issues finally move in the right direction.
What to expect during your appointment
- Consultation & photos – We review your goals, medical history, and take baseline images for progress tracking.
- Double cleanse + enzymatic prep – Removes sunscreen, oil, and dead surface cells so the pen glides smoothly.
- Topical anesthetic – A 20-minute numbing phase keeps the procedure comfortable; most clients describe the sensation as a light vibration.
- Microneedling pass – Your esthetician adjusts depth and speed zone-by-zone (cheeks differ from forehead) for safety and efficacy.
- Target serum infusion – Custom blend of hyaluronic acid, growth factors, and antioxidants penetrates through the micro-channels.
- LED red-light therapy (optional upgrade) – Further reduces redness and supports collagen synthesis.
- SPF + home-care briefing – We never let you leave without sun protection, clear instructions and aftercare.
Total time in room: roughly 75 minutes.
Your Aftercare Roadmap
Following these guidelines protects your results and minimizes downtime. (We’ll send you home with a print-out and product samples.)
| Time frame | Do this | Avoid this |
|---|---|---|
| First 24 hrs | Keep skin hydrated and calm with sterile saline, provided for you. | No makeup, workouts, saunas, or touching your face with unwashed hands. Change pillowcases. |
| Days 1–3 | Keep skin clean with our gentle, fragrance-free cleanser; apply the provided liquid gold serum every 3 hours to keep channels hydrated. Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ even indoors. | Active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, AHAs/BHAs, exfoliating devices, direct sun. |
| Days 4–7 | Introduce a mild antioxidant serum- hyaluroinc serum; resume light mineral makeup if desired. Flaking is normal—let it shed naturally. | Picking, scrubs, waxing, or self-tanning products. |
| After Day 7 | Return to full routine, adding reparative ingredients (peptides, niacinamide). Schedule follow-up in 4–6 weeks. | Skipping sunscreen—UV exposure can undo new collagen! |
Stay hydrated, sleep on a clean pillowcase, and watch the glow evolve.
Who is (and isn’t) a good candidate?
Microneedling is incredibly versatile, but safety always comes first. You’re likely a match if you’re seeking non-ablative rejuvenation, scar revision, or pigment balancing and you’re free of active infections. We’ll postpone treatment if you:
- Are pregnant or nursing
- Have active cystic acne, rosacea flares, or a fresh sunburn
- Are on isotretinoin (Accutane) or blood-thinning medication
- Have a history of poor wound healing or keloid formation
- Previous cold sores requires anti-viral medication. Start an oral antiviral (e.g., valacyclovir) 1–2 days before treatment and continue for about a week afterward to suppress HSV-1 reactivation. Skip the session if you have an active or imminent outbreak, keep the treated area clean, avoid sharing towels or cups, and watch for early tingling so you can apply a topical antiviral promptly. At ästhetik spa, we use sterile single-use cartridges, carefully adjust needle depth around your usual flare zone, and follow up to ensure you stay symptom-free.
If you’re unsure, book a quick phone consult.
