How Microneedling Works

Microneedling creates tiny controlled channels in the skin, which triggers your body’s natural healing response and stimulates new collagen and elastin.

That repair process breaks down damaged collagen, increases fibroblast activity, and builds new support within the dermis over time.

Treatment Areas

Skin preservation
Fine lines
Dull, tired skin
Hyperpigmentation
Dark circles
Rough skin texture
Bumpy skin texture
Acne scars, icepick scars

Healthy skin gives every other treatment a better surface to work with.

When the skin is stronger and more resilient, collagen support looks better, injectable refinement looks more natural, and aging changes become easier to manage over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Microneedling feels scratchy, warm, or prickly, but it should not feel painful. We use topical numbing before treatment to keep you comfortable. Most patients feel the bony areas more, like the forehead, nose, and upper lip, but the treatment is very manageable.

Most patients look red for 24-48 hours, similar to a sunburn. Some people stay pink, dry, tight, or lightly flaky for a few extra days. Redness and swelling can last up to five days, though many patients return to their normal routines within a day.

Most patients can go back to work the next day if they are comfortable looking pink or a little dry. You do not need to hide for a week, but you may want to avoid plans for the day of treatment and the next day if you do not want people to see redness. For photos, events, or travel, give yourself at least 5-7 days so that any redness, dryness, tightness, or flaking has time to settle. We also recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours, and preferably 48 hours.

Almost everyone can benefit from microneedling because almost everyone benefits from stronger skin. It is especially useful for patients who want better texture, firmness, brightness, fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or healthier-looking skin without jumping into a more aggressive treatment.

Keep your skincare simple, avoid direct sun, and do not use exfoliating acids, retinoids, vitamin C, scrubs, or harsh active products until your provider tells you to restart them. Do not pick at skin flakes.

Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot yoga, pools, and facial massage for 24-48 hours. Your face after treatment is essentially an open wound: it is best to avoid anything that may cause infection until the skin has had some time to repair.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m so happy with my results from Hailey! I originally went in thinking I wanted a lip flip, but she recommended gummy smile Botox instead and I’m so glad I listened to her. I really appreciated that she took the time to look at my face and explain what she thought would give me the best results for me. She’s super sweet, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable. I love my results and will definitely be going back to her!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I must say that ELEV8 Aesthetics is my go to for all of my self-care needs.  Hailey is very knowledgeable and trustworthy, she has never tried to oversell anything, and she always goes above and beyond.  Not only am I very satisfied with my treatments and results, I truly feel she listens to me, and that, I feel is invaluable.  I have no reservations referring Elev8 Aesthetics to all of my family and friends.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm very happy with how Hailey did my Botox. The results are excellent. I'd previously done it elsewhere and wasn't satisfied. She's very pleasant and kind, and she does everything quickly and professionally. I highly recommend her!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had never had any injectables when I found Elev8, and am so glad I did! Hailey explains everything thoroughly and will guide you to make the best decision for you, not just give you what you came in asking about or what costs the most. The results have been great for both PRP under eye filler and Botox. Easy and flexible scheduling too.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I don’t often leave reviews, but I genuinely had such an amazing experience today with Tara. For context, this was my first time ever receiving injectables of any kind. I’ve been doing my research for months upon months to try and find someone that I felt like I could trust—I’m so glad I did! I booked a consultation and had several questions. She took the time to break down and explain every concern that I expressed and was extremely knowledgeable. It was so nice to feel included and educated every step of the way! There was no pressure/judgement to do anything I didn’t discuss in the consultation. They also offer a discounted rate for Botox if you’ve never been before. All in all, I couldn’t recommend Tara more for any of your needs. ❤️
