What is Microneedling with SkinStylus?
This controlled micro-injury stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for firm, smooth, youthful-looking skin. As your skin heals over the following weeks, you’ll notice improved texture, reduced scarring, and a more even complexion.
SkinStylus is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure with little to no downtime, making it an excellent option for patients who want real results without extended recovery.

Results & Recovery
Immediately After: Expect redness and mild swelling for 24-72 hours. Your skin may feel warm and tight.
Days 2-3: Redness fades. Some patients experience minor flaking as skin renews itself.
Week 1-2: Skin begins to look smoother and more radiant.
Weeks 4-6: Collagen production continues. Visible improvement in texture, tone, and fine lines.
Months 2-3: Full results become apparent as new collagen matures.
For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help preserve your results.
How Does SkinStylus Work?
The SkinStylus device creates hundreds to thousands of precise micro-punctures per second, stimulating your skin’s natural wound-healing process. This process occurs in three phases:
- Inflammation: Your body responds to the micro-injuries by increasing blood flow and triggering an immune response to clean the treatment area.
- Proliferation: New cells form and your body begins producing fresh collagen and elastin to repair the microchannels.
- Remodeling: Over the following weeks and months, the new collagen matures and strengthens, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.
The beauty of microneedling is that it prompts tissue remodeling without causing scar tissue formation. Your skin heals stronger and healthier than before.
Microneedling FAQs
How much does microneedling cost?
SkinStylus microneedling pricing varies depending on the treatment area and whether you add enhancements like PRP. At your consultation, we’ll discuss your skin concerns and goals, recommend a treatment plan, and provide detailed pricing. We offer package discounts for patients who commit to a treatment series.
Does microneedling hurt?
Most patients find microneedling very tolerable. We apply a topical numbing cream before treatment to minimize discomfort. You may feel mild pressure and a light prickling sensation during the procedure, but it shouldn’t be painful.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients achieve optimal results with 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The exact number depends on your specific concerns and goals. Deeper acne scars or significant texture issues may require additional sessions.
Is there downtime after microneedling?
Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience redness and mild swelling for 24-72 hours. You can typically return to work and normal activities the next day, though you may want to skip makeup for the first 24 hours.
When will I see results?
You may notice some improvement in skin texture and glow within a week or two. However, the full benefits of increased collagen production develop over 2-3 months as your skin continues to regenerate.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Microneedling pairs well with PRP for enhanced results. It can also be part of a comprehensive skincare plan that includes HydraFacial for maintenance, medical-grade skincare for daily care, or Morpheus8 for deeper concerns.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes. Unlike some laser treatments, microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin that may be at higher risk for hyperpigmentation with other procedures.
How should I prepare for my microneedling appointment?
Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and direct sun exposure for 3-5 days before treatment. Discontinue blood-thinning supplements like fish oil and vitamin E for a few days prior. Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup.
What aftercare is required?
Avoid direct sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ daily. Skip makeup, retinoids, and active skincare ingredients for 24-48 hours. Keep skin hydrated and avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions at your appointment.
How long do microneedling results last?
Results can last 6-12 months or longer with proper skincare and sun protection. Many patients schedule maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to preserve their improvement and continue stimulating collagen production.
