Microneedling / Rejuvapen Microneedling
Microneedling is a cutting-edge collagen induction therapy designed to elevate your skin's radiance and address various skin concerns. Whether you're looking to minimize signs of aging, pore size, improve the appearance of acne scars, or rejuvenate aging skin, microneedling offers a transformative solution.
Microneedling with BioRePeel
Another way to amplify the effects of microneedling is to pair it with BioRePeel. BioRePeel is a biostimulatory chemical peel that works to exfoliate the skin without the downtime associated with traditional peels.
BioRePeel is particularly effective for the treatment of acne, acne scarring, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation issues. It also works to promote elastin and collagen production, making it an excellent complement to microneedling treatments.
Our master Esthetician Sarah Explains Microneedling and Biorepeel.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling involves the precise creation of small punctures in the skin’s surface. This controlled damage initiates your skin’s natural healing process, prompting increased collagen and elastin production. These crucial proteins contribute to skin firmness, elasticity, and a more youthful appearance.
What Skin Concerns Can be Addressed with Microneedling?
Microneedling proves to be a versatile and effective solution for addressing various skin concerns. This minimally invasive procedure is renowned for its ability to:
Diminish Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen production, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother complexion.
Improve Skin Texture: Enhances the overall texture of the skin by promoting the generation of new, healthy skin cells.
Minimize Pore Size: Addresses enlarged pores, leading to a more refined and even skin surface.
Reduce Scarring: Fades the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of skin imperfections through collagen induction.
Treat Hyperpigmentation: Evens out skin tone and reduces the visibility of dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
Enhance Skin Elasticity: Boosts the skin’s elasticity, resulting in firmer and more supple skin.
Alleviate Stretch Marks: Helps improve the texture and color of stretch marks by promoting collagen remodeling.
Revitalize Dull Skin: Restores a radiant and youthful glow by stimulating cellular turnover.
Microneedling’s versatility makes it a sought-after solution for individuals seeking comprehensive skin rejuvenation and improvement across a spectrum of common skincare concerns.
Microneedling with Natural Growth Factor Injections
Natural growth factor injections, or PRF injections, are a powerful way to complement microneedling. Microneedling and natural growth factor injections are both extremely effective at rejuvenating your skin, so combining the two therapies supercharges your facial treatment.
The natural growth factor injections support the skin’s ability to repair and rejuvenate itself, while microneedling helps stimulate collagen production. The small punctures created by microneedling with Rejuvapen are the perfect way to deliver PRF into the deeper layers of your skin to promote maximum anti-aging benefits and give the skin a beautiful, healthy glow.
Natural growth factor injections are derived from the patient’s own blood, so there is no risk of allergic reaction. Blood will be drawn during the patient’s appointment and processed to isolate the platelets and white blood cells, which contain potent natural growth factors. The serum can then be injected, as needed.
Your Microneedling Treatment
Pre-Microneedling
Before your Microneedling session with our Master Esthetician, Sarah, you’ll experience a thorough consultation. Sarah will discuss your specific skin type, concerns, and current skincare routine to tailor the treatment to your unique needs. To ensure your comfort, she’ll apply a topical numbing agent containing lidocaine, ensuring a pain-free and relaxed experience.
Microneedling
Once your personalized plan is in place and the numbing agent has taken effect, Sarah will begin the Microneedling treatment. Using a specialized device, controlled micro-injuries will be created, stimulating collagen production and addressing your specific skin concerns. Sarah’s expertise ensures a precise and effective treatment, promoting skin renewal and rejuvenation.
Post-Microneedling
Following Microneedling, Sarah, our Master Esthetician, will provide you with detailed post-care instructions to optimize your results. Expect temporary redness and mild swelling, which are normal and part of the skin rejuvenation process. For the initial 48 hours, adhere to immediate aftercare, avoiding activities that raise skin temperature. This includes abstaining from hot tubs, Jacuzzis, saunas, hot showers, and strenuous exercise. In the first few days, maintain a gentle skincare routine with mild cleansing and moisturizing. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, rubbing, or exfoliants for the initial week to promote a smooth and comfortable healing process.

BioRePeel

PRF is derived from the patient’s own blood, containing a concentrated mix of platelets, growth factors, and cytokines. These elements play a pivotal role in stimulating cellular regeneration, collagen production, and tissue healing. PRF injections are commonly used in aesthetic and medical treatments, such as skin rejuvenation, hair restoration, and joint therapy. This non-surgical procedure offers a minimally invasive solution with the added benefit of reduced downtime.

Microneedling Treatment Process With Noon Aesthetics Peel
FAQ’s
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can refresh aging and damaged skin, so patients can enjoy a more youthful look. It is performed using a specialized device that has a tip containing several fine needles. At SHADe, we use the Rejuvapen microneedling device, as it is exceptionally advanced, FDA-approved, and features a range of depth settings.
Microneedling can effectively address many common skin concerns, including:
- Acne scarring
- Dull skin
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines
- Skin texture irregularities
How Does Rejuvapen Microneedling Work?
The microneedling device perforates the surface of the skin, creating microinjuries. This causes the body to initiate wound healing processes, which includes increasing its production of collagen and elastin.
Collagen and elastin are crucial elements of healthy, firm, and supple skin, so optimizing the formation of these important proteins can go a long way in revitalizing the complexion. At SHADe, we often recommended combining microneedling with BioRePeel or platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) treatments to accelerate healing and maximize the regenerative impact of microneedling.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is a versatile, customizable skin rejuvenation option that is suitable for many skin types and skin tones. Patients seeking a minimally invasive treatment for minimizing signs of aging, texture irregularities, and acne scarring are often ideal candidates.
The best way to find out if microneedling can help you achieve more radiant, youthful-looking skin is to schedule a consultation at SHADe. The consultation serves as an opportunity for one of our skincare experts to assess your skin and learn about your aesthetic goals. A personalized care strategy for accomplishing your desired results can then be designed and reviewed with you.

To begin, the treatment site will be cleansed, and a topical anesthetic will be applied.
