Microneedling
Microneedling creates microscopic punctures in the skin - It’s also called skin needling, collagen induction therapy (CIT), and percutaneous collagen induction (PCI). Simply put, It’s a procedure that uses fine needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled skin injury in order to rejuvenate skin.
Microneedling improves fine lines & wrinkles, sagging skin, sun damaged skin, hyper-hypo-pigmentation, enlarged pores, stretch marks, scars and burns, and overall improvement in skin tone and texture by stimulating new collagen formation.
Micro-needling offers fairly immediate results, but microneedling also promises improvement over time.

Final desired results vary person to person, skin type to skin type. Ethnicity and age also play a role in how your skin heals and how many sessions you personally will require to see final desired results.

Microneedling Information and Disclaimer
Understanding Microneedling: What to Expect and Potential Risks
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to improve skin texture, reduce scars, and enhance overall skin health by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production, which can help rejuvenate the skin. However, like all cosmetic procedures, microneedling carries certain risks, especially if underlying skin conditions or sensitivities are present.
Why Microneedling Can Cause Unwanted Side Effects
Even though microneedling is generally safe, it can cause a range of side effects, particularly if the skin is not in optimal condition before treatment. The following factors can contribute to adverse outcomes:

Why Microneedling Can Cause Unwanted Side Effects
Even though microneedling is generally safe, it can cause a range of side effects, particularly if the skin is not in optimal condition before treatment. The following factors can contribute to adverse outcomes:
- Unseen Skin Damage:
- Clients may be unaware of underlying issues such as inflammation, weakened skin barriers, or pre-existing conditions like acne, rosacea, or eczema. These conditions might not always be visible on the skin's surface but can significantly influence how the skin reacts to microneedling.
- If the skin is already compromised, microneedling can exacerbate these issues, leading to increased irritation, inflammation, and even worsening of conditions like acne.
- Inflammatory Response:
- Microneedling works by creating controlled injuries, which trigger an inflammatory response. While this is intended to promote healing and collagen production, in some individuals, especially those with sensitive or reactive skin, this can lead to excessive inflammation. This overreaction can cause prolonged redness, swelling, and in severe cases, lead to breakouts or worsening of pre-existing acne.
- Exacerbation of Acne:
- For individuals with acne-prone skin, microneedling can sometimes spread bacteria from existing blemishes to other areas of the face, leading to new breakouts. Additionally, the procedure can stimulate oil production in some people, which can further clog pores and exacerbate acne.
- Clients with active acne should typically avoid microneedling until their skin has calmed down to prevent aggravation.
- Healing and Recovery Time:
- The skin's ability to heal after microneedling varies from person to person. Factors such as age, overall skin health, and lifestyle choices (e.g., smoking, alcohol consumption, diet) can significantly impact recovery time.
- Clients who do not follow proper post-treatment care or who have compromised skin may experience prolonged recovery times, increased sensitivity, and atypical results, such as persistent redness or irritation.
By choosing to undergo microneedling treatments at New Beginnings Day Spa you acknowledge and accept the following:
- Results and Side Effects: While microneedling is designed to improve skin appearance, individual results can vary significantly. Some clients may experience atypical or abnormal side effects, including but not limited to increased breakouts, prolonged redness, swelling, irritation, or worsening of existing skin conditions. These outcomes may occur even if no visible issues were present before treatment, as underlying skin sensitivities may be present.
- Pre-existing Conditions: If you have any pre-existing skin conditions, such as acne, rosacea, or eczema, or if your skin is compromised in any way, microneedling may exacerbate these issues. It is essential to disclose all skin conditions during your consultation to determine whether microneedling is appropriate for you.
- Lifestyle Factors: Your skin's health and ability to recover from microneedling are influenced by various factors, including diet, stress levels, smoking, and alcohol consumption. It is your responsibility to manage these factors to support your skin's healing process. Failure to do so may result in suboptimal outcomes or prolonged recovery.
- Consultation and Aftercare: Proper consultation and aftercare are critical to the success of your treatment. During your initial consultation, we will discuss potential risks and side effects. It is crucial that you follow all aftercare instructions provided by your technician to minimize the risk of complications and ensure the best possible results.
- No Guarantees: [Your Spa Name] cannot guarantee specific results from microneedling treatments. By proceeding with the treatment, you acknowledge that outcomes may vary and that certain side effects, though rare, are possible.
