Thinking about microneedling but not sure what to expect?
Whether you’re dealing with acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, or dull skin, microneedling is one of the most effective ways to refresh and rejuvenate your complexion. But with so much misinformation floating around—especially on social media—it can be hard to know what’s fact and what’s fiction.
Let’s break down some of the most common myths about microneedling, so you can head into your summer skin treatments with confidence.
Myth #1: You Can’t Get Microneedling in the Summer
Fact: You can absolutely get microneedling in the summer, as long as you take proper sun precautions afterward. Post-treatment skin is more sensitive, so it’s important to wear a mineral-based SPF 30+ daily (we love EltaMD or Colorescience) and avoid direct sun exposure for at least a week. With the right aftercare, you can safely enjoy the benefits of SkinPen or Morpheus8 even in the warmer months.
Myth #2: All Microneedling Treatments Are the Same
Fact: Not quite. At The Spa, we offer both SkinPen and Morpheus8, and each one targets different concerns.
SkinPen is a gentle, FDA-cleared microneedling device that stimulates collagen and improves the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture.
Morpheus8 combines radio frequency microneedling with deep dermal heating for next-level skin tightening and rejuvenation. It’s ideal for more advanced signs of aging or areas with laxity.
Not sure which one is right for you? That’s where our personalized consultations come in.
Myth #3: You’ll Be Red for Weeks After Microneedling
Fact: Downtime depends on the type of treatment and your skin’s sensitivity, but most people experience redness and mild swelling for 24–72 hours. SkinPen typically has a shorter recovery window, while Morpheus8 might cause a bit more inflammation depending on treatment depth. Either way, you won’t be hiding out for weeks.
Myth #4: Microneedling Only Works on Wrinkles
Fact: Microneedling is an incredibly versatile treatment that does more than just soften fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps:
- Smooth the look of acne scars
- Refine large pores
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Firm and tighten skin over time
With consistent treatments and a tailored skincare plan, microneedling can address a wide range of skin concerns.
