How, Exactly, Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling works by creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin using medical-grade needles. These micro-channels stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, triggering new collagen and elastin production while improving texture, firmness, and the absorption of active ingredients. The process renews the skin from the inside out without damaging the surface.
With deeper microneedling (macroneedling), the needles reach lower layers of the dermis where deeper scars, wrinkles, and texture damage exist. This allows the treatment to remodel the skin’s structure, making it ideal for more advanced concerns such as acne scars, stretch marks, and deeper lines.

What are the benefits of a Macroneedling session?
Macroneedling delivers stronger corrective results because it reaches deeper layers of the skin responsible for structural firmness. It helps reduce acne scars, smooth pitted areas, improve stretch marks, soften deeper wrinkles, refine texture, and boost long-term collagen production. The skin becomes more resilient, firmer, and noticeably clearer with progressive sessions.
It also significantly improves the absorption of professional serums used during the procedure, making the treatment even more effective. Over time, clients experience smoother skin, improved tone, and visible rejuvenation that continues to develop for several weeks after each session.
Microneedling Process
Discover what makes our Microneedling treatment the best in Trinidad & Tobago
Skin Evaluation & Numbing
We assess your skin concerns and apply a topical numbing cream to ensure a comfortable experience.
Cleansing & Prep
Your face is thoroughly cleansed and disinfected to prevent irritation and allow even microneedling.
Microneedling Application
A handheld device is moved across the skin, creating controlled microchannels to stimulate collagen and product absorption.
Serum & Recovery Care
A healing serum is applied post-treatment, followed by aftercare instructions to support recovery and maximize results.
What Can You Expect During the Treatment?
During the session, the skin is cleansed, exfoliated with a high-pH solution, and prepared using hydrodermabrasion or microdermabrasion if needed. The microneedling device then creates controlled micro-channels at the necessary depth, followed by soothing treatments such as cold therapy and LED red light to enhance healing and reduce inflammation.
You can expect mild redness afterward, similar to a light sunburn, and a feeling of warmth or tightness for a few hours. Within days, the skin looks smoother and more radiant, while deeper improvements appear gradually as collagen regenerates over the following 4–6 weeks.
