Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger your body’s natural healing response and stimulate collagen and elastin production. The result: improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, minimized pores, and a healthier, more resilient complexion.

Not all microneedling devices are the same — I use the DP4 because it offers precise, customizable depth control and smooth, consistent treatment. It creates microchannels up to 104% faster than other devices, which means less trauma to the skin, better results, and a safer, more comfortable experience overall. Its tip also has double the number of fine needles, which helps deliver up to 80% more topical nutrients deeper into the skin. That’s part of why downtime tends to be minimal and why I love this device for supporting a strong, natural collagen response.

Most people experience redness and a sunburn-like sensation for 24–48 hours after treatment. Some mild peeling or dryness can follow, depending on skin sensitivity, but recovery is relatively quick compared to more aggressive resurfacing treatments.

It depends on your skin concerns and goals. A series of 3–4 treatments, spaced about a month apart, is often recommended for optimal collagen stimulation — but improvements can be seen even after one session.

Yes — microneedling is excellent for improving the appearance of acne scarring, rough skin texture, and enlarged pores by encouraging skin remodeling over time.

Microneedling works by triggering your skin’s natural repair process, and collagen takes time to rebuild — it’s not instant. What’s incredible is that studies have shown that with four sessions, spaced about a month apart, collagen and elastin can increase by up to 400% six months after completing treatment. That’s why improvements continue to build gradually, with skin looking smoother, stronger, and more resilient over time.

Microneedling can be safely performed on most skin types, including darker skin tones, when done properly. One of the reasons I love the DP4 is its precision — allowing me to adjust depth and technique for different skin needs, minimizing risks like post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Yes — it pairs beautifully with treatments like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or VAMP (Vitamins/Amino Acids/Minerals/PDRN) to enhance collagen stimulation and improve healing, or with medical-grade skincare protocols to optimize results.
