Most of our patients describe their microneedling sessions in Waterloo as very tolerable. We use a numbing agent before treatment. It feels like a light prickling or stinging. While you may feel some discomfort, but it should be minimal. We do everything we can to keep you comfortable.
Elevate Your Skin Story
Microneedling is a refined treatment with powerful results. By creating precise micro-injuries in the skin, it activates your body’s natural healing process—boosting collagen production, smoothing texture, and softening the look of fine lines and acne scars.

Depending on your skin goals, we typically recommend 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. During your consultation, we can create a plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
You may experience redness and sensitivity for 3 to 5 days following your treatment. During this time, we recommend avoiding harsh skincare products, sun exposure, and strenuous activity.
Many of our patients notice an initial glow within a few days of getting microneedling in Waterloo, with full results over several weeks, following your treatment series. Collagen continues to build beneath the surface of your skin, delivering improvements.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin time to heal. You may use gentle skincare products and light makeup in the days following your treatments.
You can pair microneedling with PRP. You can speak with your provider about scheduling additional services to enhance your results.
After completing a full course of microneedling in Waterloo, your results can last up to a year. Regular follow-up appointments can help you maintain these results. Your provider can create a schedule that works best for you.
Traditional microneedling and radiofrequency (RF) microneedling both use tiny needles to create controlled channels in the skin, encouraging your natural repair response and new collagen production.
At Worthy, we use the Derma Pen by Clarion for traditional microneedling. This versatile handpiece enables your provider to adjust settings like needle depth and speed based on your skin type and concerns.
Our Morpheus8 device works similarly to the Derma Pen, but adds radiofrequency energy as the ultra-fine needles enter the skin. That energy creates controlled heat beneath the surface, further inducing dermal repair. This thermal energy makes RF microneedling especially useful when treating skin laxity.
During your consultation, your provider helps you choose the best treatment method based on your goals and skin quality.
Timing matters. If you have an active infection or breakout in the area you’d like to treat, we might advise giving your skin time to settle before scheduling microneedling in Waterloo.
That doesn’t mean acne automatically rules you out for treatment. Microneedling can be useful for concerns left behind after blemishes, including acne scars and uneven texture. The key is addressing your concerns at the right time.
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your complexion, review your routine, and decide whether microneedling is the best fit. If your skin would benefit from a different treatment, we’ll say so.
