Microneedling
Rebuild from within.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling uses a precision device with fine needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. This triggers your body's natural wound healing response — producing new collagen and elastin from within.
Unlike treatments that remove skin layers, microneedling works with your skin's biology. The micro-injuries are so small they heal within hours, but the collagen-building response continues for weeks and months afterward.
At Lumière, we often combine microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or growth factor serums to amplify results. The micro-channels created during treatment allow these active ingredients to penetrate 200% deeper than topical application alone.
What Does Microneedling Treat?
- •Fine lines and wrinkles
- •Acne scars
- •Enlarged pores
- •Uneven skin texture

What to Expect
Consultation & Planning
We'll assess your skin, discuss your goals, and determine the ideal needle depth and any boosting serums (PRP, growth factors, etc.) for your treatment.
The Treatment
After applying topical numbing for 20 minutes, we'll systematically treat the target areas. You'll feel vibration and mild pressure. The treatment takes 45-60 minutes including numbing time.
Your Results & Recovery
Your skin will be pink/red for 24-48 hours, similar to a sunburn. Most patients are comfortable going out the next day with mineral sunscreen. New collagen develops over 2-4 weeks, with optimal results after a series of treatments.

How many sessions do I need?+
Most patients see meaningful improvement after 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. For deep acne scars, 4-6 sessions may be recommended. We'll create a customized plan based on your goals.
Does microneedling hurt?+
We apply strong topical numbing cream for 20 minutes before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as mild vibration and pressure — not painful, just unusual. Discomfort is typically very manageable.
What's the difference between microneedling at home vs. professional?+
Professional microneedling uses medical-grade devices that reach effective depths (0.5-2.5mm). Home devices rarely exceed 0.25mm, which is too shallow for significant collagen stimulation. Professional treatment also allows for sterile technique and customized depth control.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?+
Yes — microneedling pairs beautifully with PRP (the "vampire facial"), growth factor serums, chemical peels, and topical treatments. The micro-channels allow products to absorb significantly better.
Is microneedling safe for dark skin tones?+
Yes — microneedling is one of the safest skin rejuvenation options for darker skin tones because it doesn't use heat or light, which can trigger hyperpigmentation in melanin-rich skin.
