Microneedling

What is SkinPen microneedling at Tia?

Microneedling with SkinPen is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment designed to refine skin texture, minimize wrinkles, reduce pore size, and diminish the appearance of scars. At Tia, we use the advanced SkinPen technology to stimulate collagen production and accelerate skin cell turnover, revealing a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion.

By creating micro-injuries with ultra-fine needles, the SkinPen harnesses the body’s natural healing response, encouraging new collagen and elastin for long-lasting results.

How does microneedling work?

Microneedling creates hundreds to thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process and prompt tissue remodeling without scar tissue formation. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.

Why did Tia select SkinPen as a device?

• SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device.
• It’s proven safe and effective, delivering results that last up to six months.
• It’s a quick and easy treatment with little to no recovery period.
• SkinPen is proven to improve the appearance of acne scars and wrinkles on the neck.
• It doesn’t rely on heat or chemicals, so the results are safe for all skin tones and types.

What skin care concerns can it help with?

• Acne scarring
• Surgical scars
• Enlarged pores
• Wrinkles
• Stretch marks
• Signs of aging
• Dull skin
• Sun damage

How long do microneedling results last?

The duration of your results depends on many factors, which you and your provider will discuss. For acne scarring and signs of aging, the most common treatment cadence is 3 treatments, spaced 1 month apart. After this initial treatment window, most patients return for a treatment once every 6 months or 1 year.

Which providers deliver this care?

Tia uses specialty trained aesthetic nurse practitioners to deliver microneedling. They will take your whole health into account when considering results.

I’m not exactly sure what I need. How will my Care Plan be formulated?

How you address your skin care goals is a deeply personal choice. Your Tia provider is here to thoroughly understand your objectives and preferences, and take your whole health into account when considering results. At the start of every visit, you and your provider will align on your goals and your treatment plan, with you always in the driver’s seat.

Who isn’t a good fit for this appointment?

While microneedling is safe, there are certain situations in which a patient should not receive this treatment. This includes patients who:

• Have active skin cancer in the treatment area(s)
• Have open wounds, sores, or irritated skin in the treatment area(s)
• Are prone to keloid scarring
• Are allergic to stainless steel or anesthetics
• Have a bleeding disorder or dysfunction
• Are pregnant or nursing
• Are taking drugs with the ingredient isotretinoin (such as Accutane)

What can I expect during a microneedling appointment?

Typically, each treatment lasts around 45 minutes. Before we begin, your skin will be cleansed and a topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure maximum comfort. Your aesthetic nurse practitioner will discuss the process with you, ensuring you remain in the driver’s seat. The process is very similar to a facial, and it's common to conclude the session with a hydrating or soothing serum to enhance your skin's recovery.
