Microneedling

Monmouth County, NJ

Reveal radiant, rejuvenated skin—naturally! Your skin has an incredible ability to heal and regenerate. Available at Gentle Glow MedSpa in Monmouth County, NJ, microneedling supercharges this natural process—helping to smooth fine lines, fade acne scars, and restore a fresh, youthful glow. If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to achieve firmer, healthier skin, this treatment delivers.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment designed to boost your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production. Using ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, this treatment triggers your body’s healing response—leading to smoother texture, improved elasticity, and a more even complexion.

How It Works

Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These tiny punctures stimulate your body’s natural repair process, sending a surge of collagen and elastin to the treated areas. Over time, this helps to:

  • Plump fine lines and wrinkles
  • Fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation
  • Improve skin texture and tone
  • Strengthen the skin’s overall structure

The result? Naturally revitalized, youthful-looking skin—without the need for harsh lasers or extensive downtime.

What Can Microneedling Treat?

Fine lines and wrinkles

Acne scars and surgical scars

Uneven skin tone and texture

Hyperpigmentation and sun damage

Large pores

Stretch marks

Mild skin laxity

Microneedling Benefits

Boosts Collagen Production

Collagen is the building block of youthful skin. Microneedling stimulates collagen synthesis, making your skin firmer, smoother, and more resilient over time.

Enhances Product Absorption

Following microneedling, your skin is primed to absorb serums, growth factors, and medical-grade skincare more effectively—maximizing your treatment benefits.

Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles

By jumpstarting the skin’s renewal process, microneedling helps soften fine lines and wrinkles, giving your complexion a naturally youthful boost.

Improves Skin Tone & Texture

If rough texture, enlarged pores, or uneven skin tone are concerns, microneedling can refine and smooth your skin for a radiant, polished look.

Minimizes Scars & Hyperpigmentation

Microneedling helps fade acne scars, surgical scars, and dark spots by encouraging fresh, healthy skin to replace damaged tissue.

Safe for All Skin Types

Unlike certain laser treatments, microneedling is safe and effective for all skin tones, making it a versatile solution for nearly everyone.

Microneedling Results

What To Expect

Before Your Treatment

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation at Gentle Glow MedSpa. We’ll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and customize your treatment plan. To prepare, we recommend avoiding retinoids, exfoliants, and direct sun exposure for a few days before your session.

During Your Treatment

We start by cleansing your skin and applying a numbing cream for maximum comfort. Then, a specialized microneedling device is used to create controlled micro-injuries. The procedure takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Most clients report minimal discomfort—just a mild prickling sensation.

Aftercare and Recovery

Expect some redness (similar to a mild sunburn) for the first 24–48 hours. Your skin may feel slightly tight or sensitive, but this subsides quickly. We’ll provide post-care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery, including hydration, sun protection, and avoiding harsh skincare products for a few days.
Results Timeline

Initial improvements—like a healthy glow and refined texture—can appear within a week. However, collagen production continues for weeks after your session, with full results visible around 4–6 weeks. For optimal results, we recommend a series of treatments spaced 2–4 weeks apart.

Am I a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling is an excellent option for those looking to improve their skin’s overall quality and address concerns like fine lines, scars, or hyperpigmentation. The treatment is safe for all skin types, but if you have active acne, an infection, or a history of poor wound healing, we may suggest an alternative approach. Not sure if it’s right for you? Book a consultation, and we’ll guide you toward the best solution for your skin.

QUESTIONS?
WE HAVE THE ANSWERS!

Does microneedling hurt?

Most clients experience minimal discomfort thanks to the numbing cream applied before treatment. Some describe the sensation as a mild prickling or tingling.

How many sessions do I need?

The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns. While some clients see noticeable improvements after one session, a series of 3–6 treatments is typically recommended for the best results.

Can I wear makeup after microneedling?

We recommend waiting at least 48 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to heal and minimize the risk of irritation or breakouts.

Is there any downtime?

Microneedling has minimal downtime, with mild redness and sensitivity for the first 1–2 days, but most clients resume normal activities right away. To protect your skin, avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks and apply SPF 30+ daily.

How long do the results last?

Results can last several months, especially with proper skincare and sun protection. Many clients maintain their results with periodic maintenance sessions.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes! Many clients pair microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or medical-grade serums for enhanced results. We can customize a treatment plan that suits your goals.
