Microneedling Services
Microneedling (starts at $375)
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure involving the use of very fine, sterilized needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin. The use of controlled micro-injuries to the skin stimulates the body’s natural wound-healing processes. It increases collagen and elastin production. This helps to improve concerns such as pore size, acne scarring, stretch marks, texture, uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles.
Here at Shine, we use SkinPen, the first FDA-approved microneedling device in the US.
Packages
- 3 Treatments ($975): Shine recommends a series of at least 3 treatments, saving you $150
- Add PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for $250: PRP is derived from your own blood, making it a natural substance that helps in your skin rejuvenation journey. Adding PRP to your treatment allows for quicker healing time and boosts collagen production. Combining PRP with microneedling is often referred to as “the vampire facial.”
What to Expect
Plan to arrive with clean skin. We will review your aesthetic goals and discuss the treatment plan. Photos will be taken to follow your progress. Your provider will gently cleanse your skin before beginning treatment.
- For your comfort during the treatment, a topical numbing agent will be applied. Most people describe the treatment as a vibrating sensation and don’t feel any of the needles.
- Our certified provider will perform the treatment. It takes approximately 10-30min depending on the area treated.
There is very minimal downtime following a microneedling treatment. Your skin may appear slightly pink or red, similar to a sunburn. Over the next 24-72 hours this should subside. We will send you with complimentary post-care products to assist in giving you the best results possible. We recommend you avoid makeup following the treatment. Rejuvenated skin can sometimes be seen after just one treatment and results continuously improve over the next 3-6 months post-treatment. We recommend a series of at least 3 treatments to see the best results.
