Microneedling

Safe and minimally invasive, microneedling allows for controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair process by creating precise, micro-injuries (tiny punctures) in the skin.

Viva Day Spa + Med Spa utilizes the FDA-cleared SkinPen device for traditional microneedling. The SkinPen is gently pressed against the skin and uses straight needles to penetrate at a 90-degree angle.

This stimulates your skin’s natural ability to heal by producing new collagen and elastin fibers, encouraging your skin to look and feel healthier. There is no tissue destruction with microneedling. The small channels in the epidermis close very quickly and the skin begins a healing response of producing new collagen and elastin right away.

This skin rejuvenation treatment is safe and effective for all parts of the body including the face, neck, and décolletage (the area of your chest that is exposed when you wear a top with a lower neckline). It helps improve:

• Sun damage (sun spots)
• Age and brown spots
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Stretch marks
• Acne scarring
• Uneven skin tone
• Large pore size

Your esthetician will apply a numbing cream prior to your treatment to minimize any discomfort. The high-speed motor of the SkinPen device causes needle penetration to occur very quickly. The sensation you will experience is often described by our clients as feeling like sandpaper or a cat’s tongue. Scar treatment with microneedling requires deeper penetration into the nerve space, which can cause discomfort.

After the numbing cream wears off, you’ll feel like you have a sunburn. This usually only lasts for 24 hours.

The number of recommended microneedling sessions depends on the health of your skin and desired results.

For optimal outcomes, Viva Day Spa + Med Spa recommends a series of three (3) microneedling sessions spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. Our three-session package price also includes medical-grade skin care products to further enhance and support your results at home.

Your skin care expert will help you develop a custom treatment plan, along with a maintenance plan to help you maintain the rejuvenating effects.

For best results, Viva pairs SkinPen microneedling series with after-treatment products for best results. These medical-grade products from SkinCeuticals and SkinBetter (valued at up to $310) are included with your series price. Your service provider will recommend one of the following post-treatment product options.

Together, these clinically proven formulas help minimize downtime, optimize healing, and enhance long-term improvements in tone, texture, and overall skin quality.

Your skin care expert will help you develop a custom treatment plan, along with a maintenance plan to preserve and extend your rejuvenating results.

The microneedle healing process begins almost immediately. Your skin will look smoother and more radiant in a week following your microneedling treatment at Viva Day Spa + Med Spa. Results are gradual, with incremental improvement after each session.

After microneedling, you’ll look like you have a sunburn on your face. Most of our patients take the day off and return to work the following day.

For deeper treatments, redness may persist for several days or a week, and you may also experience slight pinprick bleeding that will stop immediately. For special events, we recommend planning for 7 days for a complete recovery.

Microneedling is safe and effective for people of all skin types and colors without risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
