A Natural Approach to Skin Renewal

At The Standard of Modern Aesthetics (SOMA), microneedling is used to enhance skin quality by working with the body’s own regenerative processes. By creating controlled micro-injuries, this treatment encourages collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, more refined skin over time. Each session is customized to your skin type and goals for balanced, natural-looking results. Schedule your consultation with SOMA to explore a personalized microneedling treatment plan.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is an FDA-cleared procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen production and encouraging new skin cell turnover.

This process improves both the surface and deeper structure of the skin. At SOMA, microneedling is often used as part of a long-term skincare strategy to maintain healthy, resilient skin.

Microneedling Recovery

Recovery after microneedling is generally mild, with most patients returning to normal activities within a short period. In the initial phase, the skin may appear red and feel slightly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically resolve within one to two days. Some patients may experience mild dryness or flaking as the skin renews itself.

Gradual Results

Results develop over several weeks as collagen production increases. A series of treatments is often recommended for optimal improvement. SOMA emphasizes follow-up care to ensure consistent and long-term results.
