Facial · Texture and marks
Controlled microchannels used to address the appearance of uneven texture, visible pores, fine lines, and certain marks. Depth, treatment area, and the plan are defined after assessing your skin, history, and goals.

Microneedling uses a device with small needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. This response may support repair processes and gradual changes in appearance. Not all needling treatments are equivalent: the device, depth, speed, treatment area, and practitioner’s experience affect both the protocol and its risks.
This page concerns facial microneedling. Radiofrequency microneedling adds energy and has a different risk profile; the two should not be presented as the same treatment. Before a session, the team should explain exactly which technology is proposed.
After assessment, microneedling may be considered to improve the appearance of uneven texture, visible pores, some facial acne scars, and certain fine lines. Response depends on the type and depth of the mark, skin condition, individual healing, and the device used.
It does not remove scars or replace medical treatment for active acne. Deep or tethered scars may require another procedure or a planned combination. Not every dark spot should be treated with needling: post-inflammatory pigmentation, melasma, and other causes must be distinguished because irritation can worsen some conditions.
Assessment covers the goal, area, sensitivity, active inflammation or infection, medications, recent procedures, and healing history. This information determines whether microneedling is appropriate and which intensity may be considered.
The skin is prepared and the device makes controlled passes at a depth selected for the area. Discomfort, warmth, or pinpoint bleeding may occur. If topical anesthetic, an additional product, or a combined procedure is proposed, its name, route, expected benefit, limitations, and risks should be explained before consent.
Changes develop gradually. Some people notice improvement over the following weeks, while fuller results can take several months. More than one session may be needed, and results vary; there is no universal number or interval for everyone.
The decision to continue, space, or stop treatment is based on the skin’s response and the agreed goal. A series should not be presented as a guarantee that pores, scars, stretch marks, or wrinkles will disappear.
Temporary redness or darkening, sunburn-like sensitivity, tightness, swelling, dryness, itching, peeling, pinpoint bleeding, or crusting may occur. These reactions often improve within days, although some can last longer.
Less common risks include infection, herpes reactivation, persistent pigment changes, and scarring. Contact the team if pain, redness, or swelling worsens, or if you develop discharge, blisters, fever, or another unexpected reaction.
Microneedling is not suitable for everyone. Factors that must be reviewed include active infection or rash, herpes, inflamed or deep acne, injured or sunburned skin, poor healing or keloid history, bleeding disorders, blood thinners, immune suppression, uncontrolled diabetes, active skin disease, current or recent isotretinoin, pregnancy or breastfeeding, relevant allergies, and recent procedures.
Do not stop medication on your own. The decision and any waiting period depend on your history and the instructions for the exact device.
Disclose all medicines, supplements, active skincare products, and recent procedures. Arrive without active irritation and follow the instructions given to you; do not apply a generic timetable taken from social media.
Afterward, use gentle cleansing, hydration, and sun protection as instructed. Skin can be temporarily more sensitive to sunlight, makeup, retinoids, acids, and other irritating products. When to restart them depends on observed recovery and the protocol performed.
Some plans may propose an additional product or procedure. This does not mean that every substance is authorized for delivery through microneedles or that evidence for microneedling alone proves the outcome of a combination.
Before deciding, the team should identify the exact product, route, goal, applicable regulatory status, and risks. See also the specific information about PDRN and polynucleotides at Juvenalia Brío.
Cost depends on the area and coverage and on whether an additional procedure is proposed. We confirm the plan and price before treatment. The table on this page shows current options; use the link below it to see the complete pricing category.

Your questions, answered
You may feel pressure, vibration, warmth, or discomfort, and pinpoint bleeding can occur. Experience varies with the area, depth, and sensitivity. If topical anesthetic is considered, it is reviewed before the session.
There is no universal number. Some people seek a single, limited change and others need several sessions. Recommendations depend on indication, response, tolerance, and progress; purchasing a series cannot guarantee an outcome.
Changes are gradual. They may begin to appear over the following weeks and continue for several months. Timing and degree vary with the concern treated and individual healing.
It may be considered across different skin tones, but that does not make it appropriate for everyone. Assessment individualizes settings and reviews pigment-change risk, especially with inflammation, recent sun exposure, or a tendency to develop dark marks.
This should not be assumed. Inflamed, deep, painful, or infected acne requires assessment and may be a reason to postpone the procedure. Microneedling does not replace medical acne treatment.
Only after identifying the product, route, and whether the combination is appropriate. Authorization of a microneedling device does not automatically authorize delivering other products through its microchannels.
Follow the instructions provided for cleansing, hydration, sun protection, makeup, and active products. Do not restart retinoids, acids, or exfoliants on a generic timetable; wait for guidance based on your skin’s recovery.
