Microneedling in Provo, UT

Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to prompt your skin’s own healing, so it builds new collagen where acne scars, fine lines, and rough texture show. It’s non-surgical, the downtime is short, and our front desk in Provo books it by phone.

What microneedling treats

Microneedling works on the texture and tone of your skin. It suits acne scars, early signs of aging, and skin that has lost some of its firmness.

Acne scars. Older acne scars and other kinds of scarring.
Fine lines. And other early signs of aging.
Texture and tone. Rough patches, uneven color, and enlarged pores.
Sun damage. Including hyperpigmentation, meaning dark spots and patches.
Firmness. Skin that has lost some of its elasticity.
Stretch marks. Microneedling can be used on the neck, chest, and body too.

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling makes thousands of tiny channels in the top layer of your skin. Your body heals them the way it heals any small wound, and that healing builds new collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin smooth and firm.

New collagen takes time to form, so your results build gradually after each session. Most people need a series of sessions.

What to expect at your appointment

Your consultation

Your provider looks at your skin, talks through what bothers you, and builds a treatment plan around your goals.

Your session

Your provider moves a device with ultra-fine needles across your skin. Most people feel a light prickling or vibration.

The days after

Expect a day or two of redness while your skin heals. You go home with aftercare instructions, and most people get back to their routine quickly.

Adding PRP or growth factors

PRP is platelet-rich plasma, taken from a small sample of your own blood and worked into your skin during microneedling. Our PRP microneedling facial page explains how it works.

Growth factors are proteins your body uses in skin repair, and a growth factor serum can be added to your session. Ask your provider whether either one belongs in your plan.

Before and after your treatment

Before. For a few days beforehand, stay out of the sun and stop retinoids and exfoliants. If you take a blood-thinning supplement such as fish oil, ask your doctor before you pause it. Come with clean skin and no makeup.

After. Keep your skin clean and skip makeup for the first day. Use only the products your provider recommends, drink plenty of water, and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does microneedling cost?

It depends on your plan: microneedling on its own or with PRP, and the number of sessions. Our front desk has current prices at 801-877-5801, or text 866-485-7664.

How many microneedling sessions will I need?

It depends on what you’re treating. Deeper acne scars usually take more sessions than general skin rejuvenation. Your provider sets the number with you at your consultation.

How long do microneedling results last?

Your skin keeps making collagen for several months after a session, so your results can keep improving over that time. To hold on to them, many people come back for occasional maintenance sessions.

Does microneedling hurt?

Numbing cream goes on before your session starts. After that, most people find it mildly uncomfortable at most.

Can microneedling help old acne scars or stretch marks?

It can. Both respond to the collagen microneedling builds, and they tend to improve over a series of sessions paired with good daily skincare.

What’s the difference between at-home rollers and professional microneedling?

A professional device lets your provider set the needle depth for each area, and it uses a sterile, single-use tip. That makes the treatment more precise and more hygienic than an at-home roller.

How is microneedling different from Morpheus8?

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, which heats the deeper layers of your skin as the needles go in. Microneedling uses the needles alone. Your provider can tell you which fits your skin and goals.
