What Is Microneedling?
Your Skin's Natural Renewal — Activated
Microneedling is a skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create tiny micro-channels in the skin. This stimulates your body’s natural healing response and boosts collagen and elastin production, helping improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
At Well Aesthetics in Waynesville, NC, each microneedling treatment is customized to your unique skin, concerns, and goals for natural-looking results that continue to improve over time.

What Microneedling Can Address
One Treatment. Many Concerns.
Microneedling is one of the most versatile treatments in aesthetic medicine. A consultation will determine whether it is appropriate for your individual skin concerns and goals.
Know Your Options
Microneedling vs. RF Microneedling
Both treatments use tiny needles to refresh the skin — but they work differently and are best for different goals. Here's a simple breakdown.
Traditional Microneedling
Collagen Induction TherapyFine needles create tiny punctures in the skin. Your body responds by producing new collagen and elastin to heal those micro-injuries — leaving skin smoother, firmer, and more even over time.
Acne scars, uneven texture, large pores, dullness, mild skin laxity, and general skin improvement. Great for most skin types and all skin tones.
Minimal. Most patients return to their normal routine within 1 to 2 days.
Typically 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
A more accessible starting point for most patients. Pairs beautifully with PDO AfterGlo for enhanced results.
RF Microneedling
Virtue RF · Radiofrequency + NeedlingThe same fine needles — but this time, radiofrequency energy is delivered through the tips of the needles directly into the deeper layers of skin. The combination of needling AND heat creates a stronger collagen and tightening response.
Skin laxity, deeper wrinkles, significant acne scarring, and patients who want more dramatic skin tightening results. A step up in intensity and results.
Slightly more than traditional microneedling — typically 2 to 4 days of redness and mild swelling.
Typically 3 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
If skin tightening is your primary concern, RF Microneedling with Virtue RF is likely the stronger choice. A consultation will help determine what's right for you.

Optional Add-On
PDO AfterGlo
PDO AfterGlo is a medical-grade serum applied directly to your skin right after microneedling — while your skin is most receptive to absorbing active ingredients.
Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin. AfterGlo takes advantage of that window — pushing beneficial ingredients deeper than any regular skincare product can reach on its own.
Hydration, brightness, skin texture, redness, and overall recovery. It supports your skin as it heals and helps enhance the results of your microneedling session.

What to Expect After Treatment
Recovery & Results
Redness and a warm, sun-kissed feeling in the treated area is normal and expected. Avoid makeup, direct sun exposure, and strenuous activity for the remainder of the day.
Some patients experience mild redness, sensitivity, or light flaking as the skin renews. A gentle skincare routine and SPF are essential during this period. Avoid active skincare ingredients such as retinoids, acids, and vitamin C until your provider clears you.
Skin begins to look and feel noticeably smoother and more radiant as collagen production ramps up. Improvements build progressively over this period.
Optimal results are typically seen 4 to 6 weeks after the final session in your series, once collagen remodeling is complete. Individual results vary and are not guaranteed.
