Meso Microneedling

Meso microneedling is a variation of mesotherapy, which involves infusing targeted serums (such as vitamins, hyaluronic acid, and growth factors) into the skin through microchannels created by microneedling.

This technique enhances hydration, repair, and rejuvenation, making it particularly effective for pigmentation, acne scars, and overall skin texture.

• Meso Microneedling
  Focuses on infusing active ingredients deep into the skin for enhanced hydration and nourishment.
• Standard Microneedling
  Primarily stimulates collagen production by creating controlled micro-injuries, improving skin texture and elasticity.
• Treatment Goals
  Meso microneedling is ideal for skin hydration and brightening, while standard microneedling is better for scars, wrinkles, and overall skin rejuvenation.
• Procedure
  Meso microneedling often uses customized serums, whereas standard microneedling may involve applying skincare products before or after the treatment.

Both treatments offer skin-enhancing benefits, but the best choice depends on your specific concerns.

Professional microneedling: Deeper, safer, and more effective

Performed by skincare professionals, medical-grade microneedling delivers dramatic results with sterile, precision-controlled techniques that deeply rejuvenate the skin.

• ✅ Stronger treatment
  Uses needles 1mm–3mm deep for significant collagen stimulation and noticeable improvement.
• ✅ Faster, lasting results
  Fewer sessions are needed, typically every 3–6 months for optimal benefits.
• ✅ Enhanced safety
  Done in a clinical environment, minimizing infection risk.
• ✅ Custom treatments
  Often combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or radiofrequency for even better skin renewal.

At-home microneedling: Gentle maintenance, but limited benefits

At-home microneedling tools offer a mild approach to skin enhancement but lack the power of professional treatments.

• ⚠ Shallow needle depth
  Less than 1mm, which means slower, less visible results.
• ⚠ Frequent use needed
  Must be done weekly to see minimal improvements.
• ⚠ Higher risk of irritation
  Without professional sterilization, improper use may lead to breakouts or infections.
• ⚠ Mostly for product absorption
  Helps skincare penetrate deeper, but doesn’t provide major skin rejuvenation.

Microneedling is generally safe for most skin types, including normal, oily, dry, and combination skin, and is effective for treating acne scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

It’s a non-heat-based treatment, making it a good option for darker skin tones with a lower risk of hyperpigmentation.

However, those with sensitive skin, active acne, rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis should consult a professional before treatment.

Choosing a licensed provider and following proper aftercare ensures the best results and minimizes irritation or infection.

Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, with most people describing it as a mild prickling or scratching sensation.

At Sass Skin we apply a numbing cream before treatment to minimize discomfort, making the process much more comfortable.

Deeper treatments for scars or wrinkles may cause slight sensitivity, but it remains manageable.

After the procedure, the skin may feel tight, warm, or slightly sunburned for a few hours.

Overall, microneedling is not considered painful, especially with proper preparation and care.

Before Microneedling

• Prepare by avoiding sun exposure for two weeks and pausing harsh skincare like retinol and exfoliants one week before.
• Stay hydrated and avoid blood thinners for 48 hours.
• On treatment day, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin for the best results.

After Microneedling

• Expect mild redness for 24–48 hours.
• Use gentle, hydrating skincare and avoid exfoliants or active ingredients for five days.
• Apply SPF 30+ and limit sun exposure for a week.
• Skip intense workouts for 24–48 hours to support healing and maximize results.

Microneedling has minimal downtime, with most people experiencing redness and mild swelling for 24–72 hours.

The skin may feel tight, warm, or slightly sunburned immediately after treatment, but this typically subsides within a couple of days.

Some flaking or dryness can occur as the skin heals, and it’s important to avoid makeup, exfoliants, and direct sun exposure for about a week to ensure proper recovery.

Most people can resume normal activities within a day or two, making microneedling a convenient option for skin rejuvenation.

We typically recommend at least 3 treatments for noticeable results. However, skin specialist Claire will assess your skin and goals to customize the ideal treatment plan.

After your first session, you may experience mild redness for 24–48 hours, followed by the gradual appearance of radiant, refreshed skin. Sessions are usually scheduled every 2–6 weeks depending on your desired results.

Once you’ve completed your initial three treatments, maintenance sessions every 3–6 months will help preserve and enhance your skin’s rejuvenation. Your clinician will guide you on the best frequency to keep your skin glowing long-term.

Sass Skin miso microneedling treatments are priced at $450 per session or for those looking for a package option, you can prepay for 2 treatments at $899.
