Microneedling is used to improve skin texture, stimulate collagen production, and address concerns such as acne scarring, fine lines, and enlarged pores. At House of Onyx, treatments are performed using the DP Derm platform, selected for its precision and ability to be tailored to a range of skin concerns, particularly when treating areas such as acne scarring or uneven texture, where depth and technique matter. Depth and technique are adjusted based on your skin, your concerns, and how your skin responds over time, with gradual improvements in texture and overall skin quality building across a series of treatments.
For patients looking to further support skin quality and recovery, microneedling can be combined with options such as PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or exosomes. These additions are used to enhance treatment and support overall skin renewal, tailored to your individual needs. Your skin will be assessed during the consultation to determine whether microneedling and any supporting treatments are appropriate for your goals.

Some patients notice a difference in their skin’s texture within 1 to 2 weeks. More noticeable changes typically develop over several weeks as your skin goes through its natural repair process. Because this takes time, results continue to develop gradually and may become more visible after multiple sessions.
The procedure is made more comfortable by applying a topical numbing cream. Most patients describe the experience as a light pressure or a mild vibrating feeling. Sensitivity can vary based on the treatment area and individual tolerance, but the treatment is generally well tolerated.
