Microneedling

The secret to a vibrant complexion often lies in your skin's own ability to repair and renew itself from the inside out. Our range of microneedling treatments provides a gentle yet effective way to wake up your natural collagen and reveal smoother, firmer skin.

Microneedling at Alpenglow Aesthetics

Total Texture & Tone Revival

Microneedling is a process that encourages your skin to rebuild its own foundation. By creating thousands of microscopic channels in the surface, the treatment signals your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin. At Alpenglow Aesthetics, we treat every skin concern with a specialized medical perspective, which is why we offer a variety of ways to customize your treatment. Whether you need the precision of the SkinPen, the deep tightening of Exion RF technology, or the boosted healing of PDGF+ and medical-grade serums, our team creates a plan tailored to your lifestyle. We pair this clinical expertise with a peaceful, high-touch environment that makes your path to healthy skin feel like a true retreat.

What Is Microneedling?

Deep Skin Renewal

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that helps minimize the signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate aging skin. Treatment involves the use of sterile microneedles to create micro-injuries to the layers of the skin. It is a form of collagen induction therapy as the goal of this treatment is to stimulate the production of collagen.

We offer two types of microneedling. One with radiofrequency energy and one without. Find out more below.

EXION - Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling

Deep Skin Renewal

This newest skin treatment combines monopolar radiofrequency (RF) and innovative AI for precise energy delivery to deeper skin layers. A combination therapy that uses RF and microneedling to create micro-punctures on the skin’s surface and deliver controlled RF energy in fractional patterns, penetrating deep into the skin’s tissues. The AI-driven delivery optimizes the treatment, ensuring precise coagulation of deep tissues. The micro-injuries and RF energy stimulate fibroblast activity and collagen production, which leads to firmer, tighter, and more youthful skin.

Benefits

  • Deep Treatment: Penetrates the skin more deeply than traditional microneedling.
  • Enhanced Collagen and Elastin Production: By introducing RF energy, the production of collagen and elastin is substantially boosted.
  • Thermogenesis: The heat-driven response from RF energy leads to improved skin tightening and rejuvenation.
  • Reduced Downtime: Although it’s a deeper treatment, recovery time is generally shorter compared to other invasive procedures.
  • Versatility: Addresses a range of skin concerns, from wrinkles and fine lines to uneven skin texture and sagging to acne scars and stretch marks.

Conditions Treated

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damaged skin
  • Sagging skin
  • Acne scarring, surgical scarring, stretch marks
  • Skin vitality and strength

Microneedling Recovery & Results

Simple Care For Brilliant Results

Recovery

Most patients experience a pink or red glow for about a day or two (think of it like a day spent in the Montana sun). Your skin might feel slightly tight or dry as it begins the renewal process. We will provide you with a specific plan for your aftercare, which includes using gentle cleansers and staying hydrated. It is very important to avoid direct sun and harsh active ingredients for the first few days. Most people find they can return to their normal makeup routine after 48 hours.

Results

While your skin will look fresher within a week, the most exciting changes happen as the new collagen matures. You will typically notice a smoother texture and a more even tone about three to four weeks after your first visit. For concerns like deep scarring or significant wrinkles, we usually recommend a series of three to six treatments. Because this process builds a new foundation for your skin, the results are long-lasting and can be maintained with a consistent medical-grade skincare routine.

Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions

The number of treatments is dependent on your concern, the condition of your skin, and how you respond to the treatment. Initial treatment is 3-6 sessions, typically spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments as desired with recommendations of bi-yearly or yearly single treatments. Safe to maintain more frequently if desired.

For the first 48 hours, it is best to avoid heavy sweating, swimming, and hot tubs. You should also skip any active skincare products like Retinol or Vitamin C for about five days. We will give you a simple, gentle kit to use while your skin is in its initial healing phase.

Absolutely. One of the most common reasons patients visit us for microneedling is to refine their skin's texture. By stimulating collagen around the pores, the skin becomes firmer and more "plump," which naturally makes the pores look smaller and less noticeable.

It isn't necessarily "better," but it does something different. While regular needling focuses on the skin's surface and texture, Exion RF adds heat energy to help tighten the deeper tissue. If your main concern is sagging skin or "jowls," the RF option is likely the best choice for you.

We want your visit to be as relaxing as possible. We use a high-quality topical numbing cream before we begin, which makes the procedure feel like a light, tingly vibration for most patients. Our boutique setting is designed to keep you at ease while our medical providers handle every step with a soft touch.
