Procedure, timing and steps
We begin with a topical 5% lidocaine cream applied for about 20 minutes to minimize discomfort, then perform controlled micro‑channeling across the treatment area. The microneedling creates precisely placed micro‑injuries that stimulate collagen production while LED light therapy is applied to soothe and support recovery during the session.
Total appointment time is 90 minutes and includes the numbing period, the microneedling procedure, LED therapy and application of post‑treatment products that we provide. The $225 price covers the in‑studio treatment and included post‑care items; not everyone is a candidate, particularly those with moderate rosacea or active acne.
How it improves skin
Microneedling works by encouraging the skin’s natural repair mechanisms; collagen and elastin are stimulated where the micro‑channels are created. Over multiple treatments this process can lead to firmer, smoother and more refined texture for concerns such as acne scars, stretch marks and fine lines, with visible change developing across a planned series.
Clients often choose a package rather than single sessions because improvement accumulates; we offer 10% off packages of 3–5 sessions and 20% off packages of 6–10 sessions. During your consultation we’ll discuss realistic expectations and a series schedule tailored to your skin’s condition and lifestyle commitments.
Suitability and local factors
Not everyone is an ideal candidate: the treatment may not be suitable for people with moderate rosacea or active acne, so we screen during consultation. If you have concerns about sensitivity or inflammatory skin conditions, bring medical history and current skin regimen details so we can assess safety and timing.
Mascotte’s humid subtropical climate and frequent outdoor lake activities mean sun exposure and hydration are common local concerns; we’ll factor this into aftercare recommendations. Our Gladiolius Lane area studio is convenient for commuters stopping off on US 27 and for evening or weekend appointments before local events or waterfront outings.
