Microneedling in Waxhaw, NC
Choose Regenerative Center Spa in Waxhaw
When home skin treatments aren’t effective but you aren’t ready for surgery, try non-surgical procedures for skin rejuvenation like microneedling to improve the health of your skin.
Our team of highly-trained Skin Health Specialists are pleased to offer microneedling (also known as “collagen induction therapy”) at our office in Waxhaw, NC.. Microneedling uses multiple fine-gauge needles to safely and effectively create micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin — two nutrients that contribute to the overall health and appearance of your skin. Microneedling can be performed on essentially any part of the body.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a medical procedure that stimulates collagen and elastin production. This procedure can reduce the appearance of fine lines and acne scars as well as minimize large pores. Tiny needles embedded in a microneedling device create small, micro-injuries in the top layers of the skin to stimulate collagen during a microneedling treatment session. This also allows serums to reach deeper layers of the dermis for better absorption, as well as stimulate deeper layers of skin to heal, prompting new cell gr
Microneedling, offered at our boutique medical spa, is a highly effective and minimally invasive treatment that targets a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and sagging skin. Our team of highly trained professionals performs microneedling with precision, tailoring each session to your specific needs and desired treatment area.
During a microneedling session, a specialized device called SkinPen is used. This device is equipped with tiny needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the top layers of your skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the natural production of collagen and elastin, essential components for healthy and youthful-looking skin. Not only does microneedling address surface concerns, but it also allows for better absorption of serums, reaching deeper layers of the dermis to maximize the benefits.
As the deeper layers of your skin heal, microneedling promotes new cell growth and regeneration, resulting in a refreshed appearance as surface cells are replaced. Whether you’re looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and acne scars or minimize large pores, our microneedling treatments are personalized to rejuvenate your skin and enhance its natural beauty.
Who is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling can often help people achieve thicker, firmer skin and reduce the appearance of various concerns. Because microneedling does not rely on the skin absorbing specific wavelengths of light, as does laser skin resurfacing, it is tolerated by people of all skin types and colors, including those with darker skin tones who may not be good candidates for laser light procedures.
A consultation with one of our skincare experts can help to determine if this treatment is right for you.

Results and Recovery
Following treatment, mild swelling and redness may occur. Patients should avoid the sun for 48 hours, and wear sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher for at least two weeks following treatment. Avoid applying makeup for the first 24 hours; after that, you can feel free to apply makeup, lotions, and other products as usual. It can take up to four weeks after treatment for results to become visible.
Frequently Asked Questions on Regenerative Center Spa
Microneedling creates channels in your skin, making it easier for treatments to penetrate the deeper layers. This is why microneedling is frequently combined with other treatments such as vitamin-rich serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — anything applied to your skin after microneedling will be far more effective because the pores have been opened up so much. During your consultation, we can discuss which treatments, in addition to microneedling, may be used to improve the health and appearance of your skin.
Patients typically require 3-6 sessions to achieve the best results. However, the number of treatments required will be determined by your goals and the state of your skin. As needed, microneedling can be performed every 4-6 weeks. We will estimate how many treatments you will require during your consultation based on your skin and goals. We recommend getting maintenance treatments twice a year after you’ve reached your goal.
Microneedling is a highly effective skincare treatment that helps address a range of concerns, including wrinkles, fine lines, and collagen production. The frequency of microneedling sessions can vary based on individual needs and goals. Generally, many clients find that scheduling monthly microneedling sessions is an effective way to stimulate collagen production, rejuvenate the skin, and maintain a youthful, radiant complexion. This regular approach helps address minor imperfections and keeps the skin looking its best.
For those targeting specific concerns, such as deeper wrinkles or fine lines, spacing microneedling sessions every two to three months may be recommended. Additionally, some clients opt for combining microneedling with other skincare treatments like BOTOX, dermal fillers, chemical peels, or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for enhanced results. Ultimately, the ideal frequency of microneedling should be determined through a consultation with our experienced skincare professionals at Regenerative Center Spa. We will assess your unique skincare needs, discuss your goals, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to you, helping you achieve the desired results and the rejuvenated, glowing skin you deserve.
Microneedling is generally safe for all skin types and tones. Because the skin injuries are so minor, there are usually no side effects after treatment. Most areas of the skin can be treated with microneedling, including the arms, face, neck, chest, and thighs.
