The Aqua Approach: Our Microneedling Methods
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in your skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response to produce fresh collagen and elastin. The basic concept stays the same across all methods, but the technology and depth vary to address different concerns.
We offer three options, each with distinct advantages:
| Feature | Traditional Microneedling | RF Microneedling (Morpheus8) | PRP Microneedling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best For | Texture, tone, fine lines | Deep wrinkles, skin tightening | Scars, hair restoration |
| Technology | Automated needle device | Radiofrequency + needles | Microneedling + growth factors |
| Depth | 0.5–2.5mm penetration | Up to 4mm with thermal energy | 0.5–2.5mm with PRP |
| Downtime | 1–3 days redness | 3–5 days redness/swelling | 2–4 days redness |
| Results Timeline | 4–6 weeks visible | 3 weeks with ongoing improvement | 6–8 weeks optimal |

Microneedling Before and After
Your Microneedling Questions, Answered
Does microneedling hurt during the procedure?
Most people describe it as mildly uncomfortable, not painful. We apply numbing cream 20-30 minutes beforehand, which takes care of most sensation. You’ll feel pressure and a scratching or vibrating feeling, with bonier areas like the forehead being slightly more sensitive.
How many microneedling sessions will I need to see results?
It depends on what you’re treating. Traditional microneedling usually takes 3-6 sessions spaced a month apart for texture and scarring. Morpheus8 often gets there in 1-3 sessions because it works deeper. PRP typically needs 3-4 treatments.
Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
Wait 24 hours to let the microchannels close and minimize infection risk. After that, mineral-based makeup is fine, though your skin will still be pink for a few days. Most people take 1-2 days off for traditional microneedling, 3-5 for Morpheus8.
What's the difference between at-home derma rollers and professional microneedling?
Professional microneedling devices penetrate 0.5-4mm with sterile, medical-grade needles, while at-home rollers barely reach 0.25mm and can harbor bacteria. The depth matters—true collagen stimulation happens in the deeper dermal layers that only professional devices reach.
