Microneedling is an advanced skincare treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body's natural healing process and stimulating collagen and elastin production. At Apres Beauty and Wellness in Sparta, NJ, we offer professional microneedling treatments to address various skin concerns including fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture.
This minimally invasive procedure promotes skin renewal from within, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, décolleté, and other body areas. Results improve progressively over several weeks as new collagen forms, with optimal outcomes typically requiring a series of treatments.
Microneedling pairs perfectly with PRP/PRF injections for enhanced results, or can be combined with targeted serums for specific skin concerns.
We assess your skin concerns and create a customized treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied for your comfort during the procedure.
