How Does Microneedling Work?
At Manhattan Aesthetics, we use an advanced microneedling pen that oscillates up and down to create puncture points (micro-injuries). The body reacts by producing additional collagen and elastin. Over time, microneedling helps rejuvenate the skin, leaving it firm and more youthful in appearance.
Manhattan Aesthetics also provides Radio Frequency (RF) microneedling. RF microneedling is commonly known as sublative rejuvenation. It works using the same concept as traditional microneedling, but with a more advanced technique. This type of microneedling uses a device with radiofrequency energy to create a lesion under the skin, causing a deeper dermal impact. Radiofrequency microneedling is particularly effective for treating acne scars.
Am I A Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for all skin types and can be performed on both the face and the body. The procedure makes a great pick-me-up for damaged skin but also can be used to keep youthful skin looking healthy and fresh. Regular microneedling treatments can improve the skin’s health and reverse visible signs of aging.
Microneedling is ideal for treating a variety of complexion issues and can help;
- Fight the aging process by targeting fine lines and wrinkles
- Correct sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Reduce stretch marks
- Diminish acne scars
- Treat hair loss
During your initial microneedling consultation, your skin care provider will determine if the procedure is right for you and customize a treatment plan to maximize your results.

What Our Clients Are Saying
"Yesterday I tried Thermiaesthetic which is ThermiSmooth Skin Tightening. I ran over on my lunch break and LoLa who was the Esthetician couldn’t have been nicer! She rubbed a ton of gel on my lower face and neck with my clothes covered with towels then came the funny device. I was nervous as she said I might be a little red after, but I wasn’t at all! The treatment itself was pleasant and I almost fell asleep I was so relaxed! Then the gel was cleaned off about 25 minutes later and then I was good to go! I went back to the office and they were none the wiser! My skin already looks tighter although she recommended another couple of treatments. Which at the price point is affordable. If you need a little lift with no down time I can’t recommend it enough! Plus everyone at Manhattan Aesthetics was delightful!"*

"My experience getting SculpSure at Manhattan Aesthetics was top of the line. The people there are incredibly friendly and the office is spotless and gorgeous. The process of SculpSure is much more efficient than Cool Sculpting, it is less painful and takes less time. I was targeting my abs and as mentioned, the first 5 minutes is challenging but once I was acclimated to the heating and cooling sensations (plus my tech did massage my legs during) it was easy and I was done in 25 minutes. Afterward there was no pain or redness so I decided to do more applicators on my lower back (love handles). The follow up is to simply massage the area twice a day and drink lots of water. It is non-invasive and though I just had it done yesterday, I literally have NO after pain and I am excited to see the results! Five stars for a great experience at Manhattan Aesthetics."*

"I had coolsculpting last year and never got much of a result so decided to try sculpsure at Manhattan Aesthetics. I did 8 applicators targeting my abdomen and love handles. Layla my technician warned me the first 4 minutes would be uncomfortable so she distracted me by keeping me company and massaging my leg. After this it was it was easy, painless and actually kind of fun. I have to say the procedure was dramatically faster and less painful than coolsculpting and saw an incredible result. The best part was no downtime whatsoever-the next day I did feel sore like I did an intense ab workout. Definitely better than liposuction-sculpsure 5 stars Layla 5 stars Manhattan Aesthetics 5 stars"*

"I am totally addicted to Manhattan Aesthetics! Chelsea and Craig are so pleasant, kind and helpful. It’s always so nice to see them. The space is gorgeous. Both Lola and Natalie are great!! I couldn’t be happier with the first procedure I have received from Lola. Results were visible weeks before the suggested 6 week mark. I am currently undergoing the ThermiSmooth and will have to wait out the results but I will come back to update. I want to try the microneedling and photofacial next. I am addicted to Manhattan Aesthetics and the wonderful staff here. I came in through a groupon offer and I have no intentions of straying."*

"I am absolutely happy with the service I received at Manhattan Aesthetics. Everyone there is super nice, very friendly. Their office is pretty nice and clean. They have these candles at the front desk that smell fantastic and the melody makes you feel relaxed. I definitely recommend this place to anyone."*
~ B Jacquez
"My experience was nothing short of amazing! the entire staff, specifically Craig, Chelsey and Natalie could not have been more informative, helpful and caring! I learned the hard way that body contouring does in fact work after a long painful expensive bout with coolsculpting at skinney medspa. I then purchased the 4 applicator special at Manhattan Aesthetics for the sculpSURE laser. After 3-4 weeks my flanks were dramatically less bulky with a very noticeable definition. I have since treated my inner thighs and outer thighs. Everything about my experience and the procedure has been phenomenal!"*
~ Julia L
"Manhattan Aesthetics is 5 stars the knowledge of the staff is second to none and I could not be happier with my results. I was referred by a friend and have done both sculpsure and trusculpt and am extremely pleased with the result. Natalie was unbelievable in recommending the best possible treatment to ensure I not only lost my stomach but tightened the skin as well. Chelsea is amazing and went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and make sure I was seen without a wait."*

Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Does a Typical Treatment Take?
Depending on the size of the treatment area and the condition being treated, your microneedling session can last approximately 30-60 minutes. Patients should plan to be in the office for about 1-2 hours in total. Microneedling sessions are performed by a skilled doctor or medical aesthetician under the close supervision of our world-renowned medical director.
We typically use a prescription-strength topical agent prior to treatment to ensure your optimal comfort throughout. However, we also offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas), a medical-grade chiller, and injectable numbing agents upon request.
What Results Will I See?*
Many patients are surprised to learn the immediate benefits of microneedling. You’ll leave the office with a softer feeling and tighter looking skin. A blemish-free complexion can be seen as your body naturally works to renew skin cells via boosted collagen levels. An optimal outcome from a microneedling session takes anywhere from 2-4 weeks to become evident.
Microneedling is considered a very long-lasting treatment. Newly produced collagen can last upwards of a year or more. However, many patients need a series of treatments to get the initial results they want. Mild sessions can be repeated every 2-4 weeks while deeper treatments for acne scars should be done 4-6 weeks apart to allow proper healing.
Is There Any Downtime?
Recovery with microneedling depends on the depth of treatment. Mild sessions may have absolutely no downtime allowing patients to quickly get back to their typical day-to-day activities. More aggressive sessions may require up to 24-72 hours for recovery. Side effects can include redness, swelling, tenderness, and/or pinpoint bleeding. Any discomfort can be easily managed with ice packs and over-the-counter pain medication.
