Microneedling
About
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates your body's natural collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. By creating controlled micro-channels in the skin, this treatment encourages healthy skin renewal, helping reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and other common skin concerns.
At Spawise Medspa, every microneedling treatment is personalized to your skin type and aesthetic goals, helping you achieve smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin with little downtime.

What it Is
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that creates micro-wounds in the skin to stimulate collagen production. This multipurpose treatment leverages the body’s natural healing process to address various skin conditions, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture. To achieve optimal results, a series of multiple treatments is typically recommended.
How it Works
Microneedling utilizes a handheld device equipped with extremely sharp, sterile needles to puncture the skin. These micro-wounds trigger the skin’s healing process, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins for skin health and vitality. The treatment effectively rejuvenates the skin, improving its overall texture and appearance.
What to Expect
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Here’s what you can expect:
Preparation: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a numbing cream will be applied to ensure comfort during the treatment.
Treatment: During the procedure, you may feel some warmth and a scratching/pulling sensation as the device moves over your skin. The numbing cream helps keep pain to a minimum.
Post-Treatment: Immediately after treatment, your skin will likely be red and swollen, which can last up to a few days. You can return to your normal routine immediately, but it’s important to stay out of the sun until your skin heals.
