What is microneedling?

Microneedling, also called Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Your body responds by producing collagen and elastin, which leaves skin firmer, smoother and more youthful-looking. At Beauty & Wellness on Olive in Creve Coeur, it is mostly used on the face.

What can microneedling improve?

Results build over multiple sessions, and you may notice brighter, firmer skin along the way. People with darker skin may prefer microneedling to some lasers, because it does not negatively affect skin pigmentation.

Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone and texture
Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Stretch marks
Skin elasticity

Why add PRP?

PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is taken from your own blood and is rich in growth factors. Applied during microneedling, it penetrates deep into the microchannels, amplifying collagen production and speeding up healing.

PRP is also used for thinning hair, injected into the scalp rather than the face. That is part of our hair restoration treatments.

Brighter, firmer, smoother skin
Greater improvement in scars, fine lines and uneven texture
Shorter recovery time

How do I care for my skin afterward?

The microchannels can stay open for up to 24 hours, so your skin will be more absorbent and sensitive for a few days. You may see minor redness and irritation. For the best result:

Avoid sun, sweating, strenuous exercise and heavy makeup for 72 hours
Use only approved, non-irritating skincare products
Protect your skin with gentle hydration, and sunscreen once approved

Is it right for you

Is microneedling right for you?

A good fit if

You are in good overall health
You want to soften scars, fine lines, pores or uneven texture
You have a deeper complexion and want to avoid pigment changes
You can plan for 3 to 6 sessions, several weeks apart

Not the right treatment if

You have active acne
You have moderate to severe psoriasis or eczema
You are using certain acne medications

If active acne is the main concern, start with our acne treatment. For tone and texture with no needles, ask about a ClearLift laser facial.

On the day

How a session works

Microchannels

A microneedling pen glides gently across your skin, creating tiny microchannels. Sessions typically take 30 to 45 minutes.
Healing response

The tiny punctures trigger a healing response that boosts collagen, elastin and skin cell turnover.
Gradual results

Over time, skin becomes firmer, more radiant and visibly refined. Most people need 3 to 6 treatments, spaced several weeks apart.

Questions

What people ask about Microneedling

Results from microneedling typically last about 4 to 6 months. The best results come from a series of sessions, and some people follow a long-term maintenance plan.

Yes, for most people in good overall health, including all skin tones. It is minimally invasive with little to no downtime. It is not recommended if you have active acne, eczema or psoriasis, or use certain medications. In rare cases it can lead to skin depressions or cellulite formation.

You may need 3 to 6 treatments for the best results, spaced several weeks apart.

Yes. Microneedling in the clinic is far more effective than at-home rollers.
