Microneedling in Louisville, CO
Your skin's own repair response, prompted deliberately.
Microneedling creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing response and stimulates collagen and elastin production. It is used for texture, acne scarring, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.
It works over a series rather than in a single visit. Three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is the usual recommendation, because collagen remodelling takes weeks to show. There is a Petal By Petal package that alternates microneedling with chemical peels for exactly this reason.
In Colorado, licensed estheticians perform cosmetic microneedling up to 0.3 mm. Anything deeper, or deep scarring that needs a medical device, gets a referral to a trusted dermatologist rather than an attempt here.
What To Expect
- Forty-five minutes including numbing time.
- A topical numbing cream first, so the treatment itself is a light prickling rather than pain.
- A professional-grade device used in a clean, controlled environment with strict protocols.
- A soothing serum and SPF before you leave.
Aftercare
- Redness like a mild sunburn for 24 to 72 hours is normal and expected.
- No makeup for 24 to 48 hours, or until the barrier feels calm again.
- No retinoids, acids, or exfoliation for a week.
- SPF daily and no direct sun. This is not optional after microneedling.
Best facial I've ever had! Samantha is great and made the experience very comfortable. She uses amazing products and my facial was so incredibly relaxing and my skin feels superb.

Questions
Does microneedling hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand, so most people describe a light prickling sensation rather than pain.
How many microneedling sessions do I need?
Three to six, spaced four to six weeks apart, depending on whether you are targeting acne scarring, texture, or fine lines. Collagen remodelling is gradual, so results build across the series.
What is the downtime after microneedling?
Redness similar to a mild sunburn for one to three days, sometimes with light peeling or dryness afterwards. Most people are comfortable in public the next day.
Can microneedling be combined with chemical peels?
Yes, but in separate sessions so the skin heals fully between them. Alternating the two is what the Petal By Petal packages are built around.
