Microneedling has earned a strong reputation for improving skin tone, reducing acne scars, and stimulating collagen. But with popularity comes confusion. At Bella Vida Laser & Aesthetics, we hear a lot of myths that prevent people from experiencing its real benefits. Let’s set the record straight.
This is one of the most common misconceptions. While microneedling involves creating micro-injuries in the skin, we apply a numbing cream beforehand to reduce discomfort. Most patients describe it as a mild scratching sensation—not pain.
Our microneedling treatments are designed for comfort without sacrificing results. We tailor needle depth based on your skin’s needs.
While microneedling does improve acne scarring, it also helps with fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, and skin texture. The treatment stimulates collagen, which means firmer, smoother skin for a wide range of concerns.
Clients also pair it with treatments like chemical peels to accelerate skin renewal and enhance results. Bella Vida also treats areas beyond the face—including the neck, chest, hands, and even stretch marks—for a more complete rejuvenation.
Microneedling triggers the body’s natural healing response, which takes time. While some people notice a glow after a few days, full results typically develop over several weeks as collagen production increases. The wound-healing process stimulates both collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer skin.
A series of treatments spaced several weeks apart often provides the best outcome.
Today’s microneedling technology is safe for all skin types. Because it doesn’t rely on heat or light energy, there’s little risk of pigmentation issues for darker skin tones.
We assess your skin carefully before treatment to make sure microneedling is the right fit.
Expect some redness and light peeling, especially in the first 24 to 72 hours. But this fades quickly. Most patients return to daily activities within a day or two, making microneedling a practical option for busy schedules.
Treatments like dermaplaning can also be done in combination for enhanced results with minimal disruption. Proper post-care—including sun protection and avoiding harsh products—is important for optimal healing.
Consumer derma rollers often lack the depth, precision, and sterility of medical-grade tools. Using them without proper technique or hygiene can cause irritation, scarring, or infection. At Bella Vida, we use single-use cartridges under strict protocols to ensure a safe, effective treatment every time.
Our team delivers microneedling with clinical precision and care. Whether you’re new to skin treatments or looking to refresh your glow, this minimally invasive procedure offers real change.
