Microneedling

Discover the transformative power of microneedling, an exceptional non-invasive facial treatment offered at UniQ Laser Center. Using a specialized microneedling device, this procedure creates microchannels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and promoting the production of collagen and elastin. The results are smoother, plumper, and radiant skin, leaving our valued clients feeling truly rejuvenated.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that improves the texture and tone of your skin. At UniQ Laser Center in Canton and Watertown, MA, microneedling procedures are performed using the SkinPen® device, which is the first microneedling device approved by the FDA.

Microneedling is an in-office skincare treatment that involves the use of a microneedling device to create microchannels in the skin, triggering natural healing processes. The body’s response to the controlled microwounding includes boosting collagen and elastin production, which supports healthier, firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin.

Am I a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and can effectively treat a wide range of skin concerns, making it a great option for many patients. One of the providers at UniQ Laser Center will assess your candidacy during a consultation and develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with your specific goals.

How Much Does SkinPen® Microneedling Cost?

The cost of your microneedling treatment will depend on the concerns being treated and the number of treatment areas. After creating your customized treatment plan, we can provide you with exact pricing.

What to Expect During a SkinPen® Treatment

During your microneedling procedure, our provider will position the SkinPen® handpiece over a section of skin in the treatment area. The device’s microneedles will create tiny punctures in the surface of the skin to kickstart the body’s natural healing processes. These steps will be repeated until the entire targeted area has been treated.

What to Expect After Microneedling

In the first 24 hours after your treatment, you may notice a pink or slightly red appearance, similar to a sunburn. Any warmth or tightness experienced will gradually diminish throughout the day.
