Microneedling 2.0: Deeper, Smoother, and Elevated

Microneedling 2.0 is a next-level skin renewal experience that combines exfoliation, collagen stimulation, and advanced healing technologies into one powerful treatment. This deluxe facial includes dermaplaning, microneedling with the DP4, a soothing mask, and LED light therapy, making it an ideal option for those looking to fade acne scars, reduce fine lines, smooth texture, and rejuvenate the skin. By layering these treatments together, your skin absorbs serums more effectively, heals faster, and glows longer.

What to Expect from the Microneedling Process

After skin prep, your treatment begins with dermaplaning, which gently removes dead skin and peach fuzz to allow deeper penetration of active ingredients. A topical numbing cream is applied to keep you comfortable before the DP4 Microneedling device glides across your skin using precise, oscillating action. A soothing mask calms the skin, and LED light therapy promotes healing and collagen production. Most sessions take just under 2 hours and include post-treatment instructions. You may leave with mild redness and a radiant glow that improves over the following days.

Who This Treatment Is For

• Men and women over 18 years old

• Clients with signs of aging, pigmentation, acne scarring, or texture issues

• Anyone seeking skin rejuvenation without lasers or peels

• Not suitable for those with certain medical conditions, excessive acne, or recent injectable treatments
  

Real Results, Not Just Surface Glow

Microneedling 2.0 stimulates your skin’s natural repair process by creating controlled microchannels in the skin. This boosts collagen and elastin, which in turn helps to reduce fine lines, soften scars, and even out pigmentation. The addition of dermaplaning enhances exfoliation and product absorption, while LED light therapy accelerates healing and calms inflammation. Over time, your skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone—revealing a refreshed, youthful look that lasts.

When and How Often?

Microneedling 2.0 is safe to perform all year with proper SPF use. For best results, we recommend a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced six weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions every 3–4 months to keep your skin in peak condition.

Important Aftercare Reminders

• Avoid washing your face or sweating for the first 24 hours

• No sunscreen for 48 hours—apply SPF 30+ after that

• Skip makeup, hot tubs, pools, and steam rooms for 24 hours

• Use only gentle skincare for 3–5 days

• Avoid exfoliants, acids, and retinoids for 7 days

• Sleep on a clean pillowcase and sanitize makeup tools

• Avoid sun exposure for 2 weeks
  

Want to Elevate the Results?

To maximize your results, your aesthetician may recommend optional add-ons such as HydraFacial, Microcurrent, or Lymphatic Drainage. These enhancements help boost hydration, healing, and glow—tailored to your specific skin goals.

A Final Word

Microneedling 2.0 is one of the most effective ways to refresh and rebuild your skin from the inside out. Whether you’re targeting scars, fine lines, or dullness, this treatment offers layered benefits with minimal downtime. Safe, customizable, and backed by medical-grade technology, it’s your go-to for deeper skin transformation.

Book your Microneedling 2.0 session at GLOW and let your skin reveal its smoothest, most radiant self yet.
