Microneedling is a refined technique that harnesses your skin’s natural healing abilities to enhance texture, tone, and overall radiance. Using ultra-fine needles to create microscopic channels in the skin, this treatment stimulates collagen production, addressing concerns from fine lines to scarring. This signature treatment is designed for those seeking authentic skin renewal without harsh chemicals or aggressive procedures. By working with your body’s natural processes, microneedling delivers results that look and feel genuinely you – refreshed, balanced, and radiant from within.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling creates thousands of microscopic channels in your skin using precisely calibrated, ultra-fine needles. These tiny, controlled micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin – the essential building blocks of firm, youthful skin.
During your treatment, Jennifer Couso, APN, FNP-BC, carefully glides a specialized device across your skin, adjusting the depth and technique to address your specific concerns. The process encourages cellular turnover while allowing for enhanced absorption of nourishing serums applied during your session. This dual-action approach accelerates your results while maintaining the integrity of your skin’s natural balance.
Unlike more aggressive treatments, microneedling respects your skin’s natural rhythms, creating improvement that builds gradually and naturally over time. The focus is always on controlled, precise stimulation that promotes lasting skin health rather than temporary surface changes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does microneedling hurt?
Client comfort is paramount. We apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream before the treatment begins to ensure the process is as comfortable as possible. Most clients report feeling only a slight vibration or mild sensation.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
You can expect mild redness and a sensation similar to a light sunburn for 24 to 48 hours following the procedure. This is a normal response and indicates the healing process has begun. You can return to your daily activities, but we advise avoiding strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure during this time.
Pre-Treatment Instructions
To prepare your skin for the best results, please follow these guidelines:
- Avoid Retinol and exfoliating agents: Stop using products containing retinol, retinoids, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid for at least 3 days prior to your treatment.
- Avoid excessive sun exposure: Protect your skin from prolonged sun exposure, especially sunburn, in the week leading up to your appointment.
- Discontinue certain medications: If you are taking any blood-thinning medications (e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen), please consult with your physician before stopping them.
- Arrive with a clean face: On the day of your treatment, please arrive with clean skin, free of makeup, lotions, or creams.
Post-Treatment Instructions
- Downtime: You can expect mild redness and a sensation similar to a light sunburn for 24 to 48 hours following the procedure. This is a normal response and indicates the healing process has begun.
- Avoid Retinol and exfoliating agents: Continue to avoid using products with retinol, retinoids, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid for at least 3 days after your treatment.
- Gentle Cleansing: Use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water for the first 48 hours. Pat your skin dry with a clean towel.
- Moisturize and Hydrate: Apply a recommended, gentle moisturizer or healing ointment regularly to keep your skin hydrated.
- Sun Protection is Essential: Avoid direct sun exposure for the first week. When you go outside, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
- Avoid Strenuous Activity: Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and hot tubs for 24-48 hours to prevent excessive sweating and irritation.
- Makeup: Avoid applying makeup for the first 24 hours.
How many treatments will I need?
While a single treatment can provide a beautiful glow, a series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal results. For concerns like scarring or significant texture, a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is often ideal. Jennifer will create a personalized plan during your consultation.
When will I see results?
You may notice an immediate glow and radiance in your skin. However, the most significant results appear over the following weeks as your body produces new collagen. The full effect of a treatment is typically visible after 4 to 6 weeks.
How long do the results last?
The collagen your body produces is permanent. However, the natural aging process continues. We recommend yearly maintenance treatments to preserve your results and continue to support your skin’s health over the long term.
Who is a good candidate for microneedling?
Microneedling is safe and effective for most skin types and tones. It is an excellent choice for individuals concerned with skin texture, fine lines, acne scars, and overall dullness. A thorough consultation will confirm if it is the right treatment for your specific goals.
