Microneedling Treatments in Meridian, Idaho
Restore your skin’s natural glow with advanced microneedling at Sculpt Aesthetics in Meridian, Idaho. This transformative treatment—also known as collagen induction therapy—uses controlled micro-injuries to stimulate your skin’s natural healing response. This increases collagen production, improves tone and texture, and revitalizes both the appearance and health of your skin.
Whether you’re treating fine lines, acne scarring, or overall dullness, microneedling offers a robust, minimally invasive solution for skin rejuvenation.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses ultra-fine, sterile needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries:
- Stimulate collagen and elastin production
- Improve microcirculation
- Create microchannels that allow better absorption of skincare products
At Sculpt Aesthetics, we use medical-grade microneedling devices that are FDA-cleared for safety and precision. This distinguishes our treatment from at-home rollers, delivering deeper and more effective results with less risk.
Collagen Induction Therapy at Its Best
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling harnesses your body’s healing response to trigger skin remodeling from the inside out. As collagen rebuilds over time, you’ll notice smoother texture, improved elasticity, and a visible reduction in imperfections.
Benefits of Microneedling
- Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
- Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores
- Improves skin tone, radiance, and texture
- Microneedling for scars, including acne and surgical scars
- Treats hyperpigmentation and sun damage
- Minimizes stretch marks
- Enhances penetration of topical actives for better results
Microneedling for Scars and Skin Texture
One of the most transformative uses of microneedling is in the treatment of scars, especially:
- Acne scars
- Surgical scars
- Stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, arms, and hips
Through repeated sessions, microneedling helps break down scar tissue and stimulate the regeneration of smoother, healthier skin layers.
Professional Microneedling vs. At-Home Dermarollers
While DIY rollers may appear similar, only professional microneedling treatments ensure:
- Safe, controlled needle depths (0.25–2.5mm)
- Sterile, medical-grade tools
- Personalized treatment plans
- Lower risk of infection or injury
Our trained medical aesthetics providers tailor each session based on your skin condition, ensuring maximum safety and results.
Microneedling Facial and Body Treatments
We treat both facial and body skin with microneedling. Common areas include:
- Full face (cheeks, forehead, around eyes/lips)
- Neck and décolleté
- Abdomen and flanks (stretch marks)
- Arms and thighs
- Hands
- Scalp (for hair growth stimulation)
This microneedling facial and body approach allows for comprehensive skin rejuvenation, targeting specific concerns in each region.
Who is an Ideal Candidate?
Microneedling is suitable for a wide range of people. You may be a great candidate if you:
- Want to reduce fine lines, acne scars, or sun damage
- Seek non-invasive anti-aging solutions
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Don't have active infections or eczema/psoriasis in the treatment area
- Have realistic expectations and want natural, progressive results
Medical-Grade Microneedling Devices
Unlike consumer-grade tools, our medical-grade microneedling devices:
- Use single-use sterile needle cartridges
- Offer adjustable depths for customized treatment
- Deliver uniform, safe penetration without tearing the skin
These clinical devices are designed to maximize collagen stimulation while ensuring patient comfort and skin integrity.
What to Expect During and After Your Treatment
Length: 45–60 minutes (including numbing time)
Comfort: Numbing cream is applied beforehand
Sensation: A light scratching or vibrating sensation may be felt
Post-treatment appearance: Redness, mild swelling, and tightness for 24–48 hours
Aftercare Tips for Optimal Results
- Avoid makeup, sweat, and sun exposure for 48 hours
- Cleanse with gentle, non-active products
- Use hyaluronic acid or peptide-based serums to support healing
- Avoid active ingredients (retinoids, AHAs/BHAs) for 3–5 days
- Wear SPF daily—even indoors
In the following weeks, results continue to improve as collagen builds within the skin.
Microneedling and Chemical Peel Combinations
For enhanced skin renewal, microneedling can be paired with a superficial chemical peel in a series of treatments. This combination boosts exfoliation and encourages skin cell turnover, leading to brighter, smoother results, especially effective for pigmentation and acne-prone skin.
