Does microneedling hurt?
For most guests, discomfort is minimal and manageable because topical numbing is applied before the microneedling treatment begins.
And yes, that is my face.
Here, one of our top aestheticians, who is also a medical assistant, is carefully preparing my skin at LUX MedSpa Brickell before treatment.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. These micro-injuries activate the skin’s natural wound-repair response.
Fibroblasts migrate to the treated area. Growth factors are released. The production of new collagen and elastin is stimulated from within.
A 2025 peer-reviewed narrative review available through the National Library of Medicine identified collagen and elastin production, angiogenesis, temporarily increased skin permeability, and improved post-treatment epidermal barrier function among the principal physiological mechanisms associated with microneedling.

This biological remodeling process can support skin that appears firmer, smoother, more even, and more resilient over time.
Your skin doesn’t simply recover. It begins rebuilding itself.
