During treatment a numbing cream is applied, then fine needles create micro-injuries to stimulate collagen. You may feel mild scratching and brief discomfort. Sessions last 30–60 minutes, followed by redness and light swelling that typically resolves in a few days.

Not suitable for active acne, keloid scarring history, certain skin infections, or recent isotretinoin use. Pregnant clients and those with bleeding disorders should avoid it; schedule a consultation to review medical history and assess candidacy.
