Microneedling
An Overview of Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment designed to rejuvenate your skin by boosting collagen and elastin production. During the procedure, tiny, controlled micro-injuries are created on the skin’s surface, which triggers the body’s natural healing process. At MonaLisa Medical Spa, we use advanced techniques and state-of-the-art technology to ensure safe, effective, and comfortable microneedling treatments. This process leaves your skin smoother, firmer, and glowing with health.
The Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling offers a wide range of skin-enhancing benefits. Here’s why this treatment has become so popular:
Improves Skin Texture
Microneedling smooths out rough patches, leaving your skin feeling soft and silky.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Stimulates collagen production, which helps smooth out wrinkles and fine lines for a more youthful appearance.
Fades Acne Scars and Dark Spots
Breaks up scar tissue and encourages new, healthy skin cells to replace areas affected by scarring or pigmentation.
Shrinks Pores
Minimizes large pores, making your skin appear more even and refined.
Boosts Skincare Absorption
Microneedling enhances the absorption of serums and skincare products, making your routine even more effective.

Microneedling is versatile and can be performed on multiple areas of the body. At MonaLisa Medical Spa, we often treat:

Who Are Good Candidates for Microneedling?
Microneedling is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to improve their skin’s health and appearance. It’s ideal for individuals experiencing mild to moderate signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles, as well as those dealing with acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or sun damage. It can also benefit people with enlarged pores or uneven skin texture, and it’s a great option for those seeking a natural, non-invasive way to rejuvenate their skin. While microneedling is safe for most skin types, a personalized consultation at MonaLisa Medical Spa can help determine if this treatment is the right fit for your specific needs.
How is Microneedling Performed?
At MonaLisa Medical Spa, microneedling begins with a thorough consultation to understand your skin concerns and goals. During the treatment, a specialized device with ultra-fine needles creates tiny punctures in your skin. This process is virtually painless, thanks to a numbing cream applied beforehand. Depending on your goals, we may pair microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to amplify the results. The entire session typically lasts 30–60 minutes, and downtime is minimal, with most clients resuming normal activities within a day or two.
