Microneedling at Kenmi Aesthetics
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of your skin. At Kenmi Aesthetics, our goal is to use this gentle stimulation to activate your skin’s natural healing response, leaving you with a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion over time.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling uses a device with tiny, precisely spaced needles that glide across the skin, creating microscopic channels in the upper layers. These controlled micro-injuries signal your body to produce more collagen and elastin, the building blocks that keep skin firm, smooth, and resilient. As your skin repairs itself in the weeks following treatment, texture and tone gradually improve from within.
Because the channels are so small and shallow, the procedure is well tolerated, and there is minimal disruption to the surface of your skin compared with more aggressive treatments.
Skin Concerns Microneedling Can Address
Microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for many common skin concerns. During your consultation at Kenmi Aesthetics, we will evaluate your skin and tailor a treatment plan to your goals. Microneedling can help improve the appearance of:
Fine lines and early wrinkles: By stimulating collagen, microneedling helps soften the look of fine lines and supports firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Acne scars and mild scarring: The treatment encourages remodeling of the skin’s surface, which can reduce the visibility of certain types of acne scars over a series of sessions.
Uneven texture and enlarged pores: As collagen production increases, skin texture often becomes smoother and pores can appear more refined.
Irregular skin tone: Microneedling can support a more even, luminous complexion when combined with an appropriate skincare plan.
What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment
Your comfort and safety are our priority. Before we begin, your provider will review your medical history, examine your skin, and discuss your goals. We will cleanse your skin thoroughly and apply a topical numbing cream to help minimize discomfort.
Once your skin is prepared, the microneedling device is gently passed over the treatment areas in a controlled pattern. You may feel a light scratching or prickling sensation, but most patients find the procedure very tolerable with numbing. Depending on the size of the area being treated, the microneedling portion typically takes about 20–30 minutes.
After the treatment, a soothing serum or healing product is applied to support recovery and enhance results. Your provider will review your personalized aftercare instructions before you leave.
What to Expect After Microneedling
Immediately after treatment, it is normal for your skin to appear pink or slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. You may also experience a feeling of tightness or sensitivity for the first 24–48 hours.
Most patients are able to resume light daily activities the same day, but we typically recommend avoiding makeup, strenuous exercise, hot environments, and active skincare ingredients (such as retinoids or acids) for a short period as your skin calms and begins to repair.
Initial brightness and smoothness can often be noticed within a week, with continued improvements in texture and firmness developing over the next several weeks as new collagen and elastin are formed.
How Many Microneedling Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions recommended depends on your skin concerns and how your skin responds to treatment. Many patients see noticeable improvements after a series of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
For concerns like fine lines, mild texture changes, or overall rejuvenation, a shorter series may be sufficient, followed by periodic maintenance sessions. Acne scarring or more advanced concerns may benefit from additional treatments. During your consultation at Kenmi Aesthetics, we will create a schedule that feels realistic, sustainable, and aligned with your goals.

Is Microneedling Right for You?
Microneedling is suitable for many skin types and tones, but it may not be appropriate if you have certain medical conditions, active infections, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. During your consultation, we will review your health history, examine your skin, and discuss all available options so you can make an informed, confident decision.
