Request an AppointmentWhat Is Microneedling?
Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy — is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses a device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the surface of the skin. These tiny, precise punctures trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for keeping skin firm, plump, and youthful.
At White Lotus Med Spa, we use the SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics, the first and only FDA-cleared microneedling device available. Its advanced technology ensures consistent, precise needle depth and speed, delivering safe and effective results with minimal risk. SkinPen is clinically backed and has been proven to improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin texture in patients of all skin tones.
What Conditions Can Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling with SkinPen is a versatile treatment that addresses a wide range of common skin concerns. It is highly effective for reducing the appearance of acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left behind by breakouts. It also visibly improves fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, stretch marks, and dull or lacklustre complexions.
Because microneedling works by stimulating the skin’s own regenerative capabilities, results develop gradually and continue to improve for weeks after each session. The treatment is safe for most skin tones and types, and unlike some laser treatments, microneedling carries a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones.
For even more powerful results, microneedling can be combined with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy. During a PRP microneedling session, your own platelet-rich plasma is applied to the skin immediately after microneedling, allowing the growth factors in PRP to penetrate deeply through the micro-channels and further enhance collagen stimulation and tissue regeneration.
What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment
Your microneedling appointment at White Lotus Med Spa begins with a thorough skin cleanse and the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once the skin is numb, your provider will use the SkinPen device to systematically treat the targeted areas. The device is moved across the skin in controlled passes, creating thousands of tiny micro-channels at a precise, adjustable depth customized to your specific skin concerns.
The treatment itself typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Following the procedure, your skin will appear red and feel similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal and expected response that typically subsides within 24 to 72 hours. There is minimal downtime, and most clients return to their regular activities within a day or two, using gentle skincare products and SPF during the healing period.
For optimal results, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typically recommended. Visible improvements are often seen after just the first session, with continued enhancement over the following weeks and months as new collagen continues to form. Maintenance treatments once or twice a year help sustain your results long-term.

Microneedling FAQs
What is SkinPen and why does White Lotus Med Spa use it?
SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device on the market. We use it at White Lotus Med Spa because of its proven clinical safety, consistent performance, and ability to treat a wide range of skin concerns across all skin tones. Its advanced design allows precise control of needle depth and speed for customized, comfortable treatments.
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
Most clients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. The number of treatments recommended will depend on your specific skin concerns, the severity of the issue being addressed, and how your skin responds to each session. Your provider at White Lotus Med Spa will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Is microneedling painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied before your microneedling treatment to minimize discomfort. Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or a slight tingling during the procedure. Any discomfort is very manageable, and the majority of patients tolerate the treatment very well.
What is the downtime after microneedling?
Following microneedling, your skin will appear red and feel similar to a mild sunburn for 24 to 72 hours. Most clients return to their regular activities within 1 to 2 days. During the healing period, we recommend gentle skincare, avoiding sun exposure, and applying a broad-spectrum SPF daily.
Can microneedling be combined with PRP?
Yes, and this combination is highly effective. When PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) is applied to the skin immediately after microneedling, the growth factors in your own plasma penetrate through the micro-channels to dramatically enhance collagen stimulation and accelerate skin healing and renewal.
Is microneedling safe for all skin types?
Yes. Microneedling with SkinPen is safe for all skin tones and most skin types. Unlike some laser treatments, it carries a lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker complexions. Your provider will review your skin concerns and medical history to confirm that microneedling is appropriate for you.
When will I see results from microneedling?
Many clients notice an improvement in skin texture and tone within a few days of their first treatment as the initial healing response occurs. Deeper improvements — particularly in acne scars, fine lines, and pore size — continue to develop over the following 4 to 6 weeks as new collagen forms. Full results from a complete treatment series are typically visible 3 to 6 months after your last session.
