Your skin starts rebuilding collagen within days of your first session. That means acne scars begin to soften, pores look smaller, and fine lines start fading without you doing anything except showing up.
Most people see visible improvement after three sessions spaced about four weeks apart. You’re looking at smoother texture, more even tone, and skin that actually absorbs your skincare products instead of sitting on the surface.
The process works because microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body’s repair response. New collagen forms, old scar tissue breaks down, and your skin essentially rebuilds itself from the inside out. No harsh chemicals, no surgery, no extended downtime where you can’t go to work or run errands around Louisburg.
You’ll look pink for about 24 to 48 hours afterward, similar to a mild sunburn. After that, you’re back to normal activities while your skin continues improving underneath.
We serve Louisburg and surrounding Wake County communities with personalized skincare treatments that actually work. Jacqueline Grace, our licensed esthetician, has been named Best Esthetician in Wake County three years running and holds HydraFacial Master Certification, placing her among top practitioners worldwide.
We use SkinPen, the only FDA-approved microneedling device in its class. That matters because you’re getting proven safety standards, not some knockoff tool that might cause more harm than good.
Every treatment starts with a free consultation where you talk through your specific skin concerns, whether that’s acne scarring from your teenage years, sun damage from working outdoors, or fine lines that showed up faster than you expected. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all approach. You’re getting a treatment plan built around what your skin actually needs.
You start with a free consultation where Jacqueline evaluates your skin and discusses what you want to improve. She’ll explain how many sessions you’ll likely need based on your specific concerns and what kind of results you can realistically expect.
On treatment day, your skin gets cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied so you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. The SkinPen device creates thousands of tiny, controlled punctures in your skin’s surface. This triggers your body’s natural healing response and stimulates collagen production deep in the dermis.
The actual microneedling takes about 30 minutes depending on the treatment area. Afterward, your skin will be pink and slightly sensitive, similar to a sunburn. You’ll get specific aftercare instructions about what products to use and what to avoid while your skin heals.
Over the next few weeks, your skin rebuilds collagen and elastin. Scars fade, texture smooths out, and pores tighten. Most people need three to six sessions spaced four weeks apart for optimal results, but you’ll start seeing improvements after your first treatment.

Each microneedling appointment includes a thorough skin assessment, professional-grade numbing cream for comfort, the SkinPen treatment itself, and a personalized aftercare plan. You’re also getting one-on-one time with an award-winning esthetician who’s treated hundreds of clients across Wake County.
We combine medical-grade treatments with a personalized approach that you won’t find at larger chain clinics. Jacqueline takes time to understand your skin history, your daily routine, and what’s realistic for your schedule and budget.
Louisburg residents appreciate that we’re close enough for convenient appointments without the drive into Raleigh or Durham. You’re getting the same level of expertise and FDA-approved equipment you’d find at high-end medical spas in larger cities, but with a more personal touch and easier access.
We also offer package pricing for multiple sessions since microneedling works best as a series of treatments. You can discuss pricing options during your free consultation and figure out what makes sense for your goals and timeline.
Yes, microneedling has proven effectiveness for most types of acne scarring. Scars form because of abnormal collagen production during the healing process. Microneedling breaks up that old scar tissue while simultaneously triggering new, healthy collagen formation.
The treatment works particularly well for rolling scars and boxcar scars, which are the most common types left behind by acne. Ice pick scars, which are very deep and narrow, may need additional treatments or a different approach, but you’ll see improvement even with those.
You won’t see scars completely disappear overnight. This is a gradual process where each session builds on the last. Most people with moderate acne scarring see significant fading after three to six treatments spaced about a month apart. The new collagen continues forming for several months after your last session, so results keep improving even after you’re done with treatments.
Your skin will be pink and slightly swollen for 24 to 48 hours after treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Most people schedule their appointments on a Thursday or Friday so they have the weekend to let the initial redness calm down before heading back to work.
You can wear makeup after 24 hours if you need to cover any lingering pinkness. You’ll want to avoid direct sun exposure, heavy workouts that cause excessive sweating, and harsh skincare products for about a week while your skin heals.
The recovery is minimal compared to more aggressive treatments like laser resurfacing or chemical peels. You’re not dealing with peeling skin or significant downtime. You just need to be gentle with your skin and follow the aftercare instructions Jacqueline provides. Most people around Louisburg fit treatments into their regular schedule without having to take time off work or cancel plans.
Professional microneedling uses longer, medical-grade needles that penetrate deeper into your skin to trigger real collagen production. At-home dermarollers typically use shorter needles that only reach the surface layer and don’t create the same level of controlled injury needed for significant results.
SkinPen, which we use at Wake Skincare, is FDA-approved and creates precise, consistent punctures at the exact depth needed for your specific skin concerns. At-home devices can’t match that level of precision, and if used incorrectly, they can actually cause scarring or infection.
You’re also getting professional numbing cream, sterile equipment, and expert technique when you come to our clinic. Jacqueline knows exactly how to treat different areas of your face, how much pressure to apply, and how to avoid complications. That expertise matters when you’re literally puncturing your skin thousands of times. The risk of doing it wrong at home isn’t worth the money you’d save.
Pricing varies based on the treatment area and how many sessions you need. A single microneedling session typically ranges from $200 to $400, but we offer package pricing when you book multiple treatments upfront since you’ll need at least three sessions for optimal results.
During your free consultation, Jacqueline will give you an exact quote based on your specific skin concerns and treatment plan. She’ll also explain what you’re actually paying for: FDA-approved equipment, medical-grade products, and treatment from an award-winning esthetician with years of experience.
Some clinics around Wake County charge less, but they’re often using cheaper equipment or less experienced staff. When you’re talking about a treatment that involves puncturing your skin, you want someone who knows what they’re doing and uses equipment that meets FDA safety standards. The consultation is free, so you can get all your questions answered and see if the investment makes sense for your goals before committing to anything.
Microneedling consistently shows effectiveness for reducing pore size and smoothing out rough, uneven texture. Large pores are often caused by loss of collagen around the pore opening, which makes them appear bigger. When microneedling stimulates new collagen production, that tissue tightens and pores look smaller.
Uneven texture usually comes from a combination of sun damage, natural aging, and decreased collagen production over time. Microneedling addresses all of those issues by triggering your skin’s repair response and building fresh collagen and elastin.
You’ll notice smoother texture after your first treatment, but the real transformation happens over the course of three to six sessions. Your skin continues improving for several months after your last appointment as new collagen keeps forming. People around Louisburg dealing with rough texture from outdoor work or sun exposure see particularly good results because microneedling addresses the underlying collagen loss that causes that weathered appearance.
Yes, microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones, including darker skin that might be at higher risk for complications with laser treatments or chemical peels. Because microneedling uses physical needles rather than heat or chemicals, there’s minimal risk of hyperpigmentation or other pigment-related issues.
That said, you still need an experienced provider who understands how to adjust treatment depth and technique for different skin types. Jacqueline evaluates your skin during the consultation and customizes the treatment based on your specific needs and any concerns about sensitivity or healing.
If you have active acne, certain skin infections, or are pregnant, microneedling might not be appropriate right now. That’s why the consultation matters. You’ll get honest feedback about whether this treatment makes sense for you or if there’s a better option for your current skin condition. The goal is results that actually work, not just booking appointments.
