What to Expect

Here’s what happens during your microneedling session:

Cleanse & Numb: We begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream to ensure maximum comfort throughout the treatment.

Microneedling Treatment: The SkinPen® Microneedling device is used to create controlled micro-injuries that trigger your skin’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin. You may feel light pressure or vibration, but discomfort is typically minimal.

Optional Enhancements: Depending on your treatment plan, we may apply platelet-derived exosomes to boost your results and support recovery. Exosomes, Dermaplaning, a CO2 Mask and Glide are great treatment add-ons.

Post-Treatment Finish: We’ll apply calming products and provide personalized aftercare instructions to support healing and enhance your skin’s response.

How to Prep

Set your skin up for success:

Arrive Bare-Faced: Please come to your appointment with clean skin and no makeup. This allows us to properly assess your skin and begin the treatment on a fresh surface.

Avoid Injectables: No Botox, dermal filler, threads, Sculptra, or any injectables within 2 weeks prior to your treatment.

No Active Acne or Cold Sores: If you have an active cold sore or active acne breakout, please wait until it is fully healed before scheduling your appointment.

Avoid Hair Removal Treatments: Do not wax, thread, shave, or use depilatory creams on the treatment area for at least 5–7 days before your appointment. Note: If applicable, facial and body hair must be shaved before the appointment on the treatment area, as the device must be able to make proper contact with the skin.

Limit Sun Exposure: Avoid tanning, fake tanning, direct sun exposure, or sunburns for at least one week prior. Microneedling should only be performed on healthy, non-compromised skin.

Communicate With Your Provider: Let us know about any recent skin treatments (like lasers, peels, or injectables), active acne or breakouts, or medications that may affect skin healing or sensitivity.

Aftercare & Post-Treatment Tips

Support your skin’s recovery and protect your results:

No Makeup for 72 Hours: Allow your skin to breathe and recover without interference from cosmetics or other topical products.

Hydrate & Soothe: Use only the products provided in your post-care box, Lift and Rescue, with a gentle cleanser (Ultra Gentle Cleanser or Cleansing Gel) for the first 72 hours. These are specially formulated to calm, hydrate, and support healing. Avoid all other skincare products and active ingredients during this time to prevent irritation. Keeping your skin nourished with the right formulas will minimize dryness and tightness as your skin recovers.

Avoid Active Ingredients: Refrain from using retinoids, acids, exfoliants, or vitamin C serums for at least 72 hours, or until your provider gives the go-ahead.

Limit Sweating & Heat Exposure: For 24–48 hours after your treatment, it's critical to avoid any source of heat that could trigger inflammation. That means no hot showers, steamy bathrooms, saunas, or hot yoga. Skip opening hot ovens, standing over boiling pots, or spending time outdoors (even in the shade) if temperatures are high.

Protect with SPF: Your skin will be more sensitive to sun exposure—apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily and avoid prolonged sun exposure during the healing phase. You can begin applying SPF 24 hours post-treatment.

FAQ'S

What exactly is Microneedling and how does it work?

Microneedling is a collagen-inducing treatment that uses fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. As your skin regenerates, you’ll notice improved texture, reduced scarring, decreased pore size, and a refreshed overall glow.

It’s like giving your skin a wake-up call to repair itself from the inside out. Think of it as controlled rejuvenation with long-term payoff. Over time, it can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, and even early signs of aging.

Does Microneedling hurt during the treatment?

It does not! We apply a strong topical numbing cream before starting, so you’ll mostly feel a gentle vibration or mild pressure. Some areas like the forehead may feel more sensitive, but most clients say it's surprisingly tolerable, and totally worth it for the results. Most people are surprised by how easy it feels, especially compared to the results they get after a few sessions. The treatment is quick and manageable, and any discomfort fades fast once we’re done.

What should I expect after my appointment?

After your treatment, it’s normal for your skin to feel tighter and appear red (this typically subsides within 24 to 72 hours). Light flaking or dryness may occur a few days later as your skin naturally exfoliates and renews. We’ll send you home with a post-care kit and clear instructions to support healing and enhance your results.

While most clients resume normal activities the next day, it’s essential to avoid any heat exposure—no workouts, hot showers, saunas, or even being outdoors in high temperatures—for a full 48–72 hours. Proper aftercare isn’t optional; it’s crucial. When followed correctly, it leads to a smoother recovery, deeper skin transformation, and longer-lasting glow.

When will I see visible results with Microneedling?

You’ll likely notice an initial glow within a week, but the real changes happen over time as your skin produces new collagen. Most clients see significant improvement in skin texture, firmness, and scar reduction within a few weeks, especially after a series of treatments.

The results build over time, and many clients notice their skin continues to improve even months after starting treatment. Microneedling delivers progressive benefits, with ongoing collagen production and visible refinement well beyond the initial sessions. While we often begin with a series, maintaining your results with regular treatments or complementary skincare services is key to long-term skin health and glow.

Is Microneedling safe for darker skin tones or sensitive skin?

Yes! SkinPen® is FDA-cleared and safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types. Since it doesn’t use heat or light, it carries no risk of hyperpigmentation or damage to melanin-rich skin. We customize every treatment to suit your skin’s unique needs and tolerance level.

Microneedling is the go-to treatment option for clients who want results without risking sensitivity or pigment disruption. We’ll also monitor how your skin responds to ensure each session feels safe, balanced, and effective.

Can Microneedling help with acne scars or stretch marks?

Absolutely! Microneedling is one of the most effective minimally-invasive treatments for acne scarring and stretch marks. It helps break down old scar tissue while stimulating fresh skin growth.

Over a series of sessions, you’ll notice a visible reduction in depth, texture, and discoloration. Many clients also notice smoother, firmer skin overall, even in areas they didn’t expect. Whether it’s your face, hips, or abdomen, we can treat multiple zones with real, visible progress.

How many sessions will I need for best results?

Most clients see major improvements with 3–6 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. Some concerns like deep scarring may need more treatments. During your consultation, we’ll build a custom plan based on your skin goals, timeline, and budget with no guesswork involved. We’ll track your progress at every visit and make tweaks as needed to keep you moving forward.

After your initial series, we’ll reevaluate what schedule will be best fit to maintain your results.

Can I combine Microneedling with other treatments?

Definitely! Microneedling works beautifully alongside other treatments we offer at Savanna Boda Aesthetics. We’ll walk you through the best combos for your skin and help time them correctly. Combination treatments can unlock next-level results without adding major downtime. We’ll customize your plan to make the most of each session, whether you’re treating texture, tone, or both.
