What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin. These microchannels stimulate your body's natural healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production.
As new collagen forms, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful while improving the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.
At Alluna Skin Care, every treatment is customized to your unique skin concerns and goals.
Benefits of Microneedling
• Stimulates natural collagen production
• Softens fine lines and wrinkles

• Refines skin texture
• Reduces the appearance of enlarged pores
• Brightens dull skin
• Improves uneven skin tone
• Helps skincare products penetrate more effectively
• Creates smoother, healthier-looking skin
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Your appointment begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin and discuss your goals.
A professional numbing cream is applied to maximize comfort. Once your skin is numb, the microneedling treatment is performed using a professional device that creates precise microchannels across the treatment area.
Depending on your skin's needs, professional serums may be applied during the treatment to enhance your results.
Most appointments take approximately 60–90 minutes.
Does Microneedling Hurt?
Because a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, most clients find microneedling very tolerable. Many describe the sensation as mild pressure or light scratching.
Recovery & Aftercare
Following treatment, your skin will typically appear pink to red, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually improves within 24 to 48 hours.
Your skin may feel slightly tight or dry for a few days while it heals.
We recommend:
• Avoid makeup for 24 hours
• Wear sunscreen daily
• Avoid excessive heat, sweating, and swimming for 24–48 hours
• Use only the professional skincare products recommended by your esthetician
When Will I See Results?
Many clients notice healthier, brighter skin within the first week.
Because collagen production takes time, the most noticeable improvements continue to develop over the following several weeks.
For acne scars, texture concerns, and collagen remodeling, a series of treatments is often recommended for the best results.
