Your skin is first cleansed and prepped, and a numbing cream is applied for comfort. The SkinPen® then creates tiny, precise microchannels in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production.

Most clients describe a gentle prickling or tingling sensation, with minimal discomfort thanks to the numbing cream. Redness like sunburn for 24-48 hours is common after this treatment.

After microneedling, your skin will be more sensitive and in a heightened healing state. We recommend keeping the skin clean, hydrated, and protected for the first 24–72 hours. Avoid makeup, active ingredients, excessive heat, sweating, and sun exposure during this time. Use only the gentle, post-care products provided or recommended by OBA, and apply SPF daily once approved. Following your personalized post-care instructions is essential to support healing, optimize results, and protect your investment.

For optimal results, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is usually recommended, depending on your skin concerns and goals.

Microneedling is most commonly performed on the face, but it can also be used to rejuvenate the neck, décolleté (chest), hands, and body. It is an excellent treatment for improving fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, surgical scars, and overall skin texture in many areas of the body.

Yes, as long as you avoid excessive sun exposure and wear SPF daily. Protecting your skin after treatment is essential.

Microneedling may not be suitable for individuals who are pregnant, have active skin infections, open wounds, impaired wound healing, or on accutane. A consultation will determine if the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
