Microneedling

Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that creates precise, controlled micro-channels in the skin using fine, sterile needles. These tiny micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing response, helping to boost collagen and elastin production over the following weeks for firmer, smoother, healthier-looking skin.

During your appointment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared before the microneedling device is gently passed over the treatment area. Most clients describe the sensation as mild to moderate prickling, and a topical numbing product may be used when appropriate to enhance comfort. The treatment is commonly performed on the face, but may also be used on areas such as the neck, décolleté, or acne-scarred skin.

Microneedling is especially beneficial for clients looking to improve fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven tone, rough texture, and the appearance of acne scars. While many clients notice a refreshed glow within days, the most meaningful improvements develop gradually as new collagen forms. A series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results.

At our Marlborough, MA spa, each microneedling service is performed with attention to skin health, comfort, and a customized approach to your individual goals. After treatment, temporary redness and sensitivity are expected, similar to a mild sunburn, with most clients returning to normal routines within a short period while following proper aftercare.
