What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as percutaneous collagen induction therapy, is an innovative, minimally invasive skin renewal treatment that involves creating tiny punctures in the skin using a microneedling device. This controlled injury triggers the body's natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
Combining Microneedling With PRP
We also offer microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma)---a powerful combination for rejuvenating the tone, smoothness, and resilience of your complexion. By combining the collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling with the growth factors and healing properties of PRP, this treatment delivers exceptional results.
Experience Microneedling for Yourself
What is the microneedling procedure like?
The microneedling procedure is relatively quick and comfortable. Your mic specialists will cleanse your skin and apply a topical numbing cream before the treatment. The microneedling device is then gently rolled over the skin, creating microscopic channels. After the procedure, a soothing mask may be applied to calm the skin.

While at-home microneedling devices offer a convenient skin rejuvenation option, professional microneedling performed by trained aestheticians provides superior results. Professional devices use longer, finer needles that penetrate deeper into the skin, stimulating more collagen production and effectively addressing deeper skin concerns. Additionally, professionals can customize the treatment based on your skin type and goals, ensuring optimal safety and efficacy. Furthermore, they can address any complications or concerns that may arise during the healing process, providing personalized aftercare guidance.
The duration of a microneedling treatment varies depending on the treated area. A single microneedling session typically takes around 30-60 minutes.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying makeup after your microneedling treatment to reduce the risk of introducing bacteria into the newly created microchannels.
Microneedling addresses depressed (atrophic) acne scars by stimulating collagen production and tissue remodeling. The microneedling device creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body's natural healing response, forming new collagen and elastin. This process helps fill in acne scars. Also, microneedling can help reduce pore size and regulate sebum production, preventing future acne breakouts and minimizing the risk of new scarring.
The optimal benefits of microneedling can last several months. To maintain the results, it's recommended to undergo maintenance treatments every 3-6 months.
Microneedling is a safe treatment for most skin types, including darker skin tones. Your LongJuve aesthetic specialist will determine if microneedling is right for you during your consultation and personalized skin analysis.
