Microneedling at Nargiza Aesthetics
If you’re ready to smooth fine lines, fade acne scars, shrink pores, and refresh your skin’s texture — all without harsh chemicals or downtime — Microneedling at Nargiza Aesthetics is the rejuvenation treatment you’ve been waiting for. This advanced technique stimulates your skin’s natural healing power, encouraging collagen production and revealing a firmer, more youthful complexion. It’s one of the most effective ways to naturally boost your glow from the inside out.
Microneedling Experience
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses a device with fine, medical-grade needles to create tiny micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. These microchannels trigger your body’s natural healing response, prompting the production of collagen and elastin — two essential components of youthful, firm, and smooth skin.
At Nargiza Aesthetics, we use advanced microneedling technology with adjustable needle depth to ensure safe, targeted results customized for your unique skin type and goals. The procedure takes around 45–60 minutes, including prep time. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching or vibration — very tolerable, especially with the topical numbing cream we apply beforehand.
We can also enhance your results by infusing serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the skin during treatment, increasing hydration, healing, and glow. Microneedling is suitable for the face, neck, and body and delivers visible improvements after just one session — with optimal results after a short series.
Treatment Purpose
The primary goal of microneedling is to stimulate natural collagen production and encourage skin regeneration. This treatment is perfect for addressing a wide range of concerns without lasers, injections, or invasive methods.
Microneedling is used to improve:
As your skin heals from the micro-injuries, it becomes plumper, smoother, firmer, and brighter — naturally. Over time, collagen remodeling continues beneath the surface, improving your skin’s integrity and appearance with each session.
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and texture irregularities
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Sagging or thinning skin
- Stretch marks and mild scars
- Overall tone, texture, and glow
Treatment Outcome
While your skin may look pink or slightly flushed immediately after microneedling, the results become visible within just a few days. Many clients notice that their skin feels softer, looks brighter, and absorbs skincare products better right away.
Within 1 week: Brighter, smoother skin
Within 2–4 weeks: Improved skin tone, reduced texture
Over 6–8 weeks: Noticeable reduction in fine lines, acne scars, and pore size
With consistent treatments: Ongoing collagen production and lasting firmness
Most clients achieve best results with a series of 3–6 sessions, spaced about 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments 2–4 times per year.
One of the best parts? Microneedling improves your skin from the inside out — results build over time and are long-lasting, especially when combined with good skincare habits and sun protection.
Am I a Candidate?
Microneedling is safe and effective for nearly all skin types and tones, making it a versatile solution for anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin with minimal downtime.
You’re likely a great candidate if you:
- Have mild to moderate wrinkles or fine lines
- Are concerned with enlarged pores or rough texture
- Want to improve acne scarring
- Are dealing with sun damage or dullness
- Prefer a non-invasive, natural approach to skin rejuvenation
Microneedling may not be recommended if you:
- Have active acne, rosacea, or a skin infection
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Are prone to keloid scarring
- Have used isotretinoin (Accutane) within the past 6 months
We’ll conduct a thorough consultation to evaluate your skin and medical history, ensuring microneedling is safe and right for you.
Preparing for Treatment
Prepping your skin for microneedling helps ensure maximum safety and beautiful results.
Here’s how to prepare:
You may also be asked to stop taking blood thinners (such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil) to reduce the risk of bruising. We’ll walk you through all the prep instructions ahead of your appointment.
Avoid retinols, glycolic acid, and other active ingredients for 3–5 days prior
Avoid direct sun exposure or tanning beds for 1 week pre-treatment
Do not use harsh exfoliants or facial scrubs 3 days before
Come to your appointment with clean skin — no makeup or skincare
Stay hydrated and get a good night’s sleep
Let us know if you’re on any medications or have had recent procedures
Treatment Aftercare
Microneedling has minimal downtime, but your skin will go through a healing process — and aftercare plays a big role in results.
Post-care instructions:
Your skin may feel tight or dry for a few days and appear pink, similar to a mild sunburn. By day 3–5, skin often looks radiant and smoother.
We’ll send you home with detailed aftercare and product recommendations — your comfort and healing come first.
- Avoid touching your face for the first few hours
- Don’t wear makeup for at least 24 hours
- Skip sweaty workouts, hot tubs, or saunas for 48 hours
- Keep skin clean and moisturized — use gentle products only
- Use only lukewarm water and a mild cleanser for the first 48 hours
- Avoid sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF daily
Treatment Side Effects
Microneedling is gentle and well-tolerated, especially compared to laser resurfacing or peels. Most side effects are minor and short-lived.
You may experience:
- Mild redness or flushing (resolves in 1–3 days)
- Light peeling or flaking
- Slight dryness or tightness
- Temporary sensitivity
These signs are part of your skin’s natural healing and typically fade quickly. Serious side effects like infection or pigmentation changes are rare and can be avoided with proper prep and aftercare.
Our team will guide you every step of the way and ensure that your treatment is comfortable, professional, and safe.
Applicable Body Parts
While microneedling is most commonly performed on the face, it’s highly effective on other areas as well — especially where scarring, stretch marks, or aging are concerns. We treat:
Face (full face, or focused zones like cheeks, forehead, nose)
Neck (tightening and smoothing)
Décolleté (chest rejuvenation)
Acne-scarred areas (cheeks, chin)
Stretch marks (abdomen, thighs, hips, buttocks)
Surgical or injury scars
If you have a specific area of concern, we’ll customize a treatment plan that targets it effectively and gently.

Frequently asked questions
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
Most clients benefit from a series of 3–6 sessions, spaced about 4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every few months help extend results.
When will I see results?
You may notice a brighter, more refined complexion within 3–5 days, with continued improvements over 4–6 weeks as collagen builds.
Is microneedling painful?
We apply a medical-grade numbing cream, so discomfort is minimal. Most people feel a mild buzzing, tingling, or scratching sensation — very tolerable.
What’s the downtime?
Downtime is minimal. You might look flushed or feel tight for a few days, but you can typically return to light daily activities within 24 hours.
Can I wear makeup afterward?
Avoid makeup for the first 24–48 hours to allow your skin to heal. After that, makeup applies beautifully on your smoother, glowing skin.
Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?
Yes! Microneedling is safe for all skin tones and does not carry the same risk of hyperpigmentation as some lasers.
Will my skin peel after microneedling?
Some clients experience light flaking or dryness around days 2–5. It’s not a dramatic peel — just a gentle renewal.
Can microneedling help with acne scars?
Absolutely. Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for improving acne scarring, especially when combined with serums or PRP.
Can I do microneedling with other treatments?
Yes! Many clients combine microneedling with facials, LED light therapy, or chemical peels. We’ll guide you on the safest schedule.
Is microneedling permanent?
The collagen your body produces is permanent, but natural aging continues. That’s why maintenance sessions every 3–6 months are ideal.
