Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, uses a device housing many sterile surgical needles that create tiny micro-injuries in the skin tissue to stimulate our body’s natural healing response. This response helps our skin build healthier tissue while boosting our body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of plump and youthful looking skin. Microneedling is the gold standard for treating deep acne scaring and textural issues in the skin. It is also an incredibly successful treatment for reversing the signs of aging such as fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and skin laxity. Skin is cleansed and prepared for the procedure with the addition of our targeted serums selected specifically for each client. During the procedure these customized product selections will be continually added allowing for deep penetration. Immediately following the procedure our luxurious cooling face mask containing repairitive peptides and hyaluronic acid is left on the skin to soothe and reduce skin redness. The treatment is finished off with MDM Post PRP from MD Medical which is high in aloe and shea butter to soothe and repair your skin.
After the procedure, the skin will be red, with mild swelling and/or bruising, and your skin might feel tight and sensitive to the touch. Although these symptoms may take 2-3 days to resolve completely, they will diminish significantly within a few hours after treatment. Microneedling has been shown to reduce the visibility of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, diminish hyperpigmentation, and improve skin tone and texture, resulting in smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin.
Your appointment time will be between 35-45 minutes.
After the treatment the tissue will be very red and can be tender, tight and warm for several hours. Other typical after effects may be slight swelling immediatly after treatment as well as flaking and peeling after several days. Sun exposure is not recommended and you should always wear an SPF outside even when cloudy. No strenuous activity and exercise that causes sweating for the first 24-48 hours to prevent more redness, irritation and bruising. Avoid hot tubs, saunas and steam rooms for 48 hours. The tissue will begin to heal within 1-2 days but healing can still be happening under the surface of your skin for several weeks. Therefore it is suggested to wait 4-6 weeks between treatments.
For at least 3 days post-treatment, do not use any Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Beta Hydroxy Acid, Retinol (Vitamin A), Vitamin C (in a low pH formula), or anything perceived as ‘active’ skincare. Avoid intentional and direct sunlight for 24 hours, and do not use a tanning bed. Do not go swimming for at least 24 hours post-treatment, and avoid strenuous activity that would cause you to sweat. Finally, wait 2 weeks before waxing, threading, hair removal, and exfoliating in the treated area. Viva Medical Aesthetics will thoroughly cover each area to be aware of during your treatment.

The concept of microneedling is based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself when it suffers physical damage such as cuts, burns, abrasions, or other injuries. Immediately after an injury to the skin, our body begins the healing process, triggering new collagen synthesis.

Before a microneedling appointment, it’s essential to prepare your skin for optimal results. Start by avoiding direct sun exposure or tanning beds for at least 24 hours prior, as sunburned or tanned skin can increase sensitivity. Discontinue use of any retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids, or other exfoliating agents 48 hours in advance to prevent skin irritation. Additionally, keep your skin hydrated and moisturized, but avoid any heavy creams or oils on the day of the procedure. Refrain from consuming alcohol or caffeine 24 hours before the treatment, as they can increase sensitivity and inflammation. Lastly, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin, ensuring the best outcome from your microneedling session
