Your Microneedling in Indianapolis
Your treatment begins with a skin assessment and consultation. Your provider will discuss your concerns, evaluate your skin type, and create a customized treatment plan designed to achieve your specific skincare goals.

Before Microneedling…
Your microneedling treatment starts with an evaluation. Our service providers examine your skin type, discuss your goals, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for microneedling. Our service providers also adjust the microneedling device according to your unique skin type — different densities of skin require different levels of microneedling.
During Microneedling…
During the treatment, a numbing gel is applied for comfort before a specialized microneedling device creates controlled micro-channels in the skin. The procedure stimulates collagen production, is minimally invasive, and is typically completed in about 30 minutes.
After Microneedling…
After treatment, mild redness, sensitivity, swelling, or tenderness may occur and usually subside within a few days. Most patients can return to daily activities immediately, though strenuous exercise and exfoliating products should be avoided temporarily for optimal recovery.Microneedling FAQs
How does microneedling work?
Microneedling works by activating your body’s innate collagen production capabilities. Collagen is a fibrous protein that makes your skin look firm and taut — it holds your skin upright against the force of gravity. As you grow older, your body’s ability to produce new collagen is compromised, leading to skin laxity and wrinkles. Microneedling stimulates your body’s natural collagen production capabilities, thus reversing the signs of aging.
Can microneedling trigger cold sores?
Microneedling may occasionally trigger a cold sore outbreak in individuals with a history of the herpes simplex virus (HSV). To reduce this risk, your provider may recommend preventive antiviral medication before treatment. If you have a history of cold sores, be sure to discuss it during your consultation.
When will I see the results?
Microneedling delivers gradual,natural-looking improvements as your body produces new collagen. Results typically become visible within 4 to 6 weeks, with multiple treatments often recommended for the best outcome.
Will the results look natural?
The results of microneedling are completely natural because it stimulates natural collagen production. Over time, as your body produces new collagen fibers, your skin will look smoother, tighter, and more youthful. There are no signs of cosmetic work or manipulation.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients achieve optimal results with a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your provider will customize the treatment plan based on your skin concerns, and maintenance sessions may be recommended to preserve long-term results.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes, microneedling is generally safe for all skin types and tones. It’s a non-invasive treatment that can be customized based on individual skin needs. However, patients with certain skin conditions, infections, or sensitivities should consult with a provider to determine if microneedling is appropriate.
Can microneedling be done on other areas of the body?
Absolutely. While it’s most commonly performed on the face, microneedling can also treat the neck, chest, hands, abdomen, and even stretch marks or scars on the body. It’s a versatile treatment that improves skin texture and firmness across multiple areas.
