Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin by stimulating its natural healing processes. This treatment is widely used to address various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and overall skin texture. Microneedling can be performed on different areas of the body, though it is most commonly done on the face, neck, and décolletage.

It involves using a device fitted with fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries prompt the body to produce collagen and elastin, two essential proteins for maintaining firm, smooth, and youthful-looking skin.

Microneedling can be performed on different areas of the body, though it is most commonly done on the face, neck, and décolletage.

The procedure is relatively quick, often completed within 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. A topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand to minimize discomfort. Afterward, the skin may appear slightly red or feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, but these effects usually subside within a day or two. For more aggressive treatments, it may take 1 - 2 weeks to heal. For optimal results, multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart are often recommended.

At Bad Skin, microneedling treatments cost $400. A package of 3 costs $1,050.
