Restore smoother, healthier-looking skin with microneedling at Northwest Beauty & Wellness. This minimally invasive treatment helps reduce fine lines, scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production. We use a specialized microneedling pen to ensure safe, precise results tailored to your unique skin needs.
Stimulate Collagen for Firmer Skin
Microneedling is a collagen induction therapy that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This controlled process stimulates your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to improve texture, tone, and firmness. At Northwest Beauty & Wellness, we use a microneedling pen for precise, effective treatments with minimal discomfort. Microneedling is generally safe for most skin types and is commonly used to treat fine lines, acne scars, large pores, and dull or uneven skin texture.
Microneedling Treats:
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Acne scars and other mild scarring
- Enlarged or visible pores
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Mild skin laxity and dullness
- Sun damage and discoloration
- Stretch marks on the body
- Rough or dehydrated skin
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling works by creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface using a specialized pen with tiny, sterile needles. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production—key proteins that keep your skin smooth, firm, and youthful.
As the skin heals, it becomes stronger, clearer, and more evenly toned and textured. The treatment also enhances the absorption of serums, allowing active ingredients to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively.
Advantages of Microneedling:
- Stimulate natural collagen and elastin production
- Improve skin texture, tone, and firmness
- Reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and scarring
- Minimize enlarged pores and rough patches
- Enhance the absorption of skincare products
- Safe for most skin types and tones
- Minimal downtime with long-lasting results

Your Microneedling Session
Your microneedling session begins with a skin assessment and cleansing. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. Once your skin is prepped, we use a microneedling pen to create precise micro-injuries across the treatment area. The device moves in controlled patterns to stimulate your skin. You may feel light pressure or a vibrating sensation. Afterward, we apply soothing serums to penetrate deeply through the newly opened channels, maximizing the effectiveness of your treatment while calming your skin.
Microneedling FAQs
Is Microneedling Safe for All Skin Types?
Yes, microneedling is considered safe for most skin types and tones. Because it doesn’t involve heat or harsh chemicals, it carries a lower risk of pigmentation issues and can be customized for sensitive or acne-prone skin.
Is Microneedling Painful?
Most patients describe microneedling as mildly uncomfortable but very tolerable. We apply a topical numbing cream before the session to minimize any discomfort. However, you may feel a light scratching or vibration sensation during treatment, especially in sensitive areas.
What Is the Downtime After Microneedling?
Microneedling requires minimal downtime. Most people experience some redness and mild sensitivity for 24 to 72 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. You’ll be advised to avoid makeup, intense sun exposure, and certain skincare products for a few days to support healing.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions depends on your goals. Many patients see noticeable improvements after just one treatment, but for concerns like acne scars, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results.
