Before your treatment

Microneedling Treatments
A cutting-edge solution for healthier, more youthful skin
If you’re looking to improve the appearance of your skin or want to boost collagen production, microneedling is an excellent option. Revival Health and Wellness offers microneedling treatments, providing you with a cutting-edge solution for achieving healthier, more youthful skin.
What to expect
Your microneedling appointment, start to finish
On the day of your appointment, your face is thoroughly cleansed and a topical anesthetic is applied. It typically takes 30 minutes to an hour for the anesthetic to take full effect. Once you’re properly numbed, a derma-roller or microneedling machine gently passes over the skin, creating tiny punctures. The microneedling process itself takes about 15 minutes for the face.
After the treatment, a cooling mask is applied for approximately half an hour to soothe the skin, followed by topical skincare products or a serum to enhance results. The downtime is minimal, but expect to leave with noticeable redness - similar to a mild sunburn - for the rest of the day. By the next day, your skin should return to its normal color, and by day three you’ll notice more radiance and glow.
For at least 24 hours after your treatment, avoid sun exposure, exfoliating products, alcohol-based toners, and activities like the gym, sauna, or hot tub. Applying a moisturizer with ceramide can help keep your skin hydrated.
Your visit, step by step
What to expect during your microneedling appointment
From your arrival to the collagen remodeling that continues for weeks after, here’s exactly what a Revival microneedling visit looks like.
Numbing
A medical-grade topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area and left to take effect for approximately 20–30 minutes to maximize your comfort throughout the procedure.
Your microneedling treatment
Once your skin is properly numbed, your provider uses a medical-grade microneedling device to create thousands of precise microscopic channels, stimulating your body’s natural healing response - increased blood flow, collagen and elastin production, and improvements to fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall skin quality. Treatment typically takes 20–45 minutes.
After your treatment
Your skin may appear pink to moderately red - similar to a mild sunburn - with slight warmth or tightness. These effects are normal and generally improve within 24–72 hours. Your provider applies soothing post-treatment products and reviews personalized aftercare instructions.
Results
Many patients notice a healthy glow within the first week, and collagen remodeling continues beneath the skin for several weeks. For optimal results, most patients benefit from a series of 3–6 treatments spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart.
What is microneedling?
Tiny needles. Big collagen response.
Microneedling is one of the most popular and effective skincare treatments available today. It gets its name from the tiny, fine needles used to create micro-injuries in the skin, which trigger the body’s natural healing process.
This process not only rejuvenates the skin but also stimulates the production of new collagen. The end result is smoother, firmer, and healthier-looking skin.

Additions to microneedling
Boost your treatment with add-ons
Many patients opt to combine microneedling with serums or other topicals during treatment. Incorporating elements like vitamins, Botox®, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or topical Sculptra can enhance the results of your microneedling session - amplifying collagen stimulation and delivering deeper, longer-lasting skin quality improvements.

How microneedling works
Micro-injuries → collagen & elastin → radiant skin
The tiny needles used in microneedling can be part of a tool known as a derma-roller or a specialized microneedling machine. Regardless of the method, the needles are very small and precisely designed. They create micro-injuries in the skin, which activate the body’s natural wound repair process.
This process stimulates the production of both collagen and elastin, leading to significantly improved and more radiant skin. Microneedling not only addresses various skin concerns but also boosts collagen production, making it an effective treatment for both anti-aging and skin repair.
