Better skin
takes repetition.
Microneedling is collagen induction therapy: controlled stimulation designed to make your skin do more of the repair work it already knows how to do.
Fine lines. Texture. Acne scarring. Enlarged-looking pores. Uneven tone. Skin that simply doesn't feel as firm or refined as it used to.
One session can make your skin feel great. A series is where we start changing the trajectory.
We create the signal. Your skin does the rebuilding.
Microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin.
Your body responds to that controlled injury with a wound-healing response that includes collagen and elastin production and gradual tissue remodeling.
That is why the best results are not sitting on your face when you walk out the door. They develop as the skin moves through the repair process over the following weeks and months.
This is better skin being built.
Texture is only the beginning.
Microneedling is used when the goal is to improve the quality and structure of the skin itself.
Fine Lines
Collagen remodeling can gradually soften the appearance of fine lines and crepey texture.
Acne Scars
Microneedling is commonly used to improve the appearance of selected atrophic acne scars by stimulating new collagen.
Texture + Pores
Remodeling the superficial skin structure can create a smoother, more refined-looking surface.
Skin Quality
Better firmness, smoother texture and more even-looking skin are the kinds of gradual changes we are trying to build.
Same neighborhood. Different depth.
We can choose how much stimulation the skin actually needs.
Microneedling
Uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries at a selected depth. This is the stronger collagen-induction option when we are targeting concerns such as acne scars, wrinkles, texture and deeper remodeling.
Nanoneedling
Provides more superficial skin stimulation with less recovery. It can be a great option when the goal is enhanced surface texture, hydration and product delivery without the same level of controlled dermal injury.
The needling creates the opportunity.
What we use with it matters.
Your treatment can be customized with different supportive products depending on the goal.
PRP
Platelet-rich plasma is prepared from your own blood and adds a concentrated source of platelet-derived growth factors and signaling proteins to the treatment plan.
Rejuran
Rejuran Healing Essence, Healing Essence i and sterile post-treatment masks can be incorporated topically into selected treatments to support hydration, recovery and skin quality.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic-acid-based professional products can be used when the goal includes additional hydration and comfort during a skin rejuvenation protocol.
If we're going for the best result, this is the upgrade we love.
PRP adds another biologic layer to the treatment.
Your blood is drawn and processed to concentrate platelets within the plasma. Those platelets contain growth factors and signaling proteins involved in normal tissue repair.
The American Academy of Dermatology notes that microneedling is sometimes combined with platelet-rich plasma to improve results in selected scar-treatment plans.
At Lush, PRP is our preferred upgrade when someone wants to lean fully into the regenerative side of microneedling.
PRP brings more of your own signaling biology to the party. That is why we like the combination when the goal is more than a quick skin refresh.
One is a treat.
A series is where things get interesting.
Collagen remodeling is cumulative. That is why we offer packages designed around repeated stimulation and recovery.
A Treat
One session can freshen texture, stimulate the skin and introduce you to the treatment.
A Treatment
Two sessions begin to create repeated collagen stimulation rather than a single isolated response.
A Real Series
Three treatments give us a much better opportunity to build visible improvement in texture, tone and overall skin quality.
The Transformation
Six treatments create repeated cycles of stimulation and collagen remodeling over time. When someone wants to seriously work on their skin rather than simply maintain it, this is where we get excited.
Because collagen doesn't work on your appointment schedule.
The skin starts responding after treatment, but collagen remodeling takes time.
The American Academy of Dermatology notes that the body continues to make collagen after microneedling and that best results may develop over months. Multiple treatments are often used when the goal is more significant improvement.
Repeating treatment at appropriate intervals allows us to create another controlled stimulus while previous remodeling is still developing.
Controlled treatment. Very manageable recovery.
Prepare
Skin is cleansed and prepared. Topical numbing may be used for microneedling depending on treatment depth and area.
Stimulate
The treatment device is used systematically across the planned area to create controlled skin stimulation.
Add The Good Stuff
Depending on your plan, PRP, Rejuran professional products or hyaluronic-acid-based support may be incorporated.
Recover
The skin begins its healing response. We guide post-treatment care so the barrier can recover without unnecessary irritation.
You will look treated.
You will still be a functioning human.
Microneedling commonly causes temporary redness, warmth, sensitivity, swelling or mild flaking as the skin recovers. Most of these effects occur shortly after treatment and resolve with time.
Nanoneedling is more superficial and generally has considerably less visible recovery.
We will give you specific aftercare based on the depth of treatment and what was used during the session.
The stuff everyone asks before committing.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the body's wound-healing response and collagen production.
What does microneedling help with?
Microneedling is commonly used for concerns such as facial acne scars, wrinkles, texture and other signs of skin aging. The exact treatment plan depends on the concern and depth being treated.
What is nanoneedling?
Nanoneedling is a more superficial treatment focused on the surface of the skin. It is useful when someone wants less downtime and goals are centered more around texture, hydration and surface rejuvenation rather than deeper collagen remodeling.
Is PRP worth adding?
When someone wants a more regenerative treatment, we love pairing PRP with microneedling. PRP uses concentrated platelets from your own blood, and microneedling is commonly combined with PRP in aesthetic treatment plans.
Can you use Rejuran with microneedling?
Yes. We use Rejuran professional topical products such as Healing Essence, Healing Essence i and sterile post-treatment masks in selected protocols. Rejuran Professional specifically describes Healing Essence i for professional post-treatment use after microneedling.
Can you use hyaluronic acid?
Yes. Professional hyaluronic-acid-based products may be incorporated for hydration and skin-support purposes depending on the treatment plan.
How many treatments should I get?
It depends on your goals. One session is a treat. Two begins a treatment process. Three gives us a true series. For patients who want a significant long-term skin-renewal program, a six-treatment package gives us repeated opportunities to stimulate collagen and build improvement over time.
When will I see results?
Skin may look refreshed relatively quickly, but collagen remodeling is slower. Improvement can continue developing over the following months, which is why we care about the long-term trajectory rather than the first few days after treatment.
Is there downtime?
Microneedling can cause temporary redness, swelling, warmth, sensitivity or flaking. Nanoneedling is more superficial and generally has less visible recovery.
One is nice.
Six changes the conversation.
If you want a quick skin refresh, we can do that.
If you want to seriously work on texture, fine lines, scarring and overall skin quality, let's build a treatment package and give your collagen enough time—and enough stimulation—to actually show us what it can do.
