MicroNeedling & Growth Factor Mask

What is Microneedling?


Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles. The small wounds cause your body to make more collagen and elastin, which heal your skin and help you look younger. You might also hear it called collagen induction therapy. These tiny pricks also allow the growth factors in the mask that we recommend to penetrate deeper into the skin giving you a stimulated treatment. 3-6 treatments are typically recommended. We advise starting with a package of 3 with about 4-6 weeks in between each appointment.

MicroNeedling & Growth Factor Mask

Pre Treatment Instructions

Avoid aspirin, Advil, vitamin e, fish oil and/or other blood thinners if you get approval by your physician. This will help prevent bruising.

What to expect during treatment?

We do recommend a topical numbing cream to be applied to treatment area if possible, for 30min-1hour to increase comfort during the treatment.

We will remove numbing cream and sterilize your skin to prep for treatment. You will feel minimal to zero discomfort. The procedure is well tolerated and in some cases virtually painless, feeling only a mild prickling sensation. This procedure will induce collagen and elastin to help firm, tighten and regenerate new skin cells.

Post Procedure:

Your skin most likely will be pink or red appearance, much like a sunburn for a few hours post treatment.

Severity of redness will depend on sensitivity and area being treated. 

We recommend using our Growth Factor Masks post treatment to stimulate results and healing.

You may use our Tissue Repair Gel after 24 hours to help encourage healing and repairing of the skin. This gel contains Arnica, Aloe Vera, Co-Q 10 and vitamins. 

Avoid exfoliating medications, chemicals, or retinol products on the treated areas for at least 7-10 days, until the skin appears completely healed.  

Do not exercise (light exercise/walking is ok), sweat, swim or go in a sauna or steam room for at least 24 hours post-treatment or until healed 

No Makeup for 24 hours

After Care:  

Cleanse the treated area with lukewarm water only with a mild cleanser followed by a gentle moisturizer

You may resume normal routine 3-5 days post treatment, with the exception of exfoliants

Apply sunscreen after 24 hours unless a mineral base that is safe for post procedure


You may be slightly pink from a couple of hours to a couple of days after treatment. This is normal.
