Smooth, Firm, and Renew Your Skin Naturally
Your skin already has the power to heal and renew itself; microneedling simply helps it do that more efficiently. At Dollface, our Microneedling Treatment uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels trigger your body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin which are the building blocks of smooth, youthful-looking skin.
This minimally invasive treatment is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate your complexion from the inside out. Over time, microneedling helps reduce fine lines, acne scars, and uneven texture, leaving your skin looking tighter, firmer, and more radiant.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling relies on the skin’s own healing ability. During treatment, your esthetician uses a professional-grade microneedling device equipped with ultra-fine needles that create thousands of micro-injuries in the skin’s surface.
These tiny punctures signal the body to repair itself by producing new collagen and elastin fibers. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, stronger, and more resilient and gradually improving texture, tone, and firmness over the weeks following treatment.
Because the microchannels also increase product absorption, your post-treatment serums and skincare penetrate deeper, enhancing their effectiveness.
Benefits of Microneedling
While noticeable improvement can be seen after just one session, most clients achieve optimal results with a series of four treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart.
For enhanced rejuvenation, many clients pair microneedling with our BioRePeel or Retinol Peel treatments. These advanced exfoliating solutions work synergistically with microneedling to boost collagen production and reveal smoother, more even-toned skin, without excessive peeling or downtime.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
- Consultation and Cleansing: Your esthetician will discuss your goals, cleanse the skin, and apply a numbing cream for comfort.
- Microneedling Treatment: Using a precision device, fine needles create controlled micro-injuries across the targeted areas.
- Serum Infusion: Post-treatment, a soothing and hydrating serum is applied to enhance healing and lock in moisture.
- Protection: Sunscreen is applied to protect your fresh, renewed skin
The entire process takes about 45 minutes. Some redness or mild sensitivity is normal immediately after and typically subsides within 24–48 hours.
Aftercare and Recovery
Microneedling has minimal downtime compared to more aggressive resurfacing treatments. Afterward, your skin may feel slightly warm or tight, similar to a mild sunburn. Avoid makeup, active skincare ingredients, and direct sun exposure for 24–48 hours.
Hydration and sun protection are key to maintaining your glow. Over the following days, your skin will look and feel smoother, brighter, and more even.
Microneedling vs. Pico Laser vs. Chemical Peel
Each of these treatments promotes skin renewal but works differently:
Microneedling uses mechanical stimulation to trigger collagen production and improve texture. Ideal for scarring, fine lines, and large pores.
Pico Laser uses ultra-short laser pulses to target pigmentation and stimulate deep collagen remodeling with minimal downtime.
Chemical Peel exfoliates surface layers with controlled acids to smooth, brighten, and refine skin tone.
Microneedling pairs beautifully with both Pico Laser and Chemical Peels as part of a long-term skin health plan. Your esthetician will recommend the best combination for your specific goals and skin type.
