Microneedling, sometimes called collagen induction therapy, is a breakthrough in skin resurfacing. This versatile treatment is fully customizable and can treat a variety of common skin concerns, from acne to wrinkles. The best part of microneedling in Louisville, Lexington, and Floyds Knobs at CaloSpa® is that it uses your body’s own healing process, not unnecessary chemicals or surgery, to rejuvenate your skin.
At CaloSpa, we offer traditional microneedling using the SkinPen® for an even more effective way to reduce fat, tighten skin, treat acne, and reduce the size of pores.

A typical microneedling session using the DemaPen® device lasts between 45 minutes and 1 hour. To begin, a qualified member of our aesthetic team applies a light topical anesthetic to ensure a comfortable experience. Once the anesthetic takes effect, he or she then runs the microneedle over the targeted area of the face.
Although microneedling can create impressive results on its own, the process also makes the skin more receptive to topical skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness. During your skin care consultation, our aesthetic professionals help you decide which course of action will best create your desired results.

No. Thanks to a topical anesthetic and the very small size of the needle used, the microneedling procedure is not painful.
Patients may experience some redness or numbness at the treatment area for the first 24 – 48 hours, but this subsides quickly.
Most people don't require any downtime following a microneedling or RF microneedling treatment. Redness, minor swelling, and a "sunburnt" sensation are all common reactions, but they're not typically severe enough to keep patients from engaging in normal activities. Makeup may be applied several hours after a treatment.
Although some patients with minor concerns may find that 1 treatment is enough to create satisfactory results, most patients require a series of 4 or 5 treatments spaced a couple of weeks apart. During your consultation, a member of our team gives you a specific timeline that reflects your needs and goals.
