Microneedling with the Exceed Medical-grade device creates precise, microscopic micro-channels in the skin using a highly refined six-needle cartridge. These tiny, controlled injuries trigger your skin's natural wound-healing cascade, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production while accelerating cellular renewal. The result is firmer, smoother, more radiant skin with improved texture, tone, and overall resilience.

While you may have seen some intense post-treatment photos online, the actual microneedling experience at Foxy Glow Aesthetics is far more comfortable than most people expect. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure ease throughout the treatment, and clients typically describe the sensation as a light scratch or occasional pinch. Overall the procedure is very tolerable, and most appointments are completed in just over an hour - including numbing and post-care. 

Microneedling is an ideal treatment for anyone seeking age-management solutions or support for acne-prone skin. Beginning  in our 30's, collagen production naturally declines, and microneedling helps reignite the skin's ability to produce fresh  collagen and elastin - promoting a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion. 

It is also highly beneficial for those experiencing acne-related concerns. By reducing inflammation and softening scar tissue, microneedling helps refine texture, and reveal a clearer, more even complexion. Most healthy individuals looking to improve tone, texture, and overall skin quality are excellent candidates for this treatment.

While certain laser treatments can pose a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in deeper skin tones, microneedling works mechanically - not through heat - making it a much safer option with significantly lower risk for unwanted pigment changes.

While microneedling does stimulate exfoliation and accelerated cell turnover - often leaving the skin looking brighter and feeling smoother within the first week - the true transformation happens beneath the surface. Collagen remodeling is a slow, sophisticated process, and full results typically become visible around 90 days after treatment. 

For first time clients, I strongly recommend a series of 3-4 monthly sessions to build momentum, support optimal collagen induction, and achieve meaningful, lasting change. The key is patience: trust the process, follow your home-care plan, and allow your skin the time it needs to regenerate from the inside out. 

Post-treatment downtime is mild: temporary redness, mild swelling, or a tight, dry sunburn-like sensation for the first 2-3 days as the skin begins it's repair process. After this initial phase, makeup can be worn and your regular skincare routine resumed - while avoiding stronger actives for 5-7 days to support optimal healing.

I'll help you understand exactly what your healing process will look like and how to support your skin through it.

A chemical peel performed about 2 weeks after microneedling can help amplify your results, by boosting cell turnover and brightening the complexion. For clients with more reactive skin - or if redness lingers for a few days - a DMK Enzyme Therapy session is a gentle, supportive alternative that calms the skin while enhancing overall healing and rejuvenation.
