Most people who ask us about microneedling start the same way. They point at something on their face. A line that wasn’t there last year. An old acne scar that never really left. Skin that just looks kind of tired, even after a full night’s sleep. Then they get a little shy about it, like they’re not supposed to care.
You’re allowed to care. We hear it every week, and there’s nothing silly about wanting your skin to look like you feel.
Bare Beauty Laser & Aesthetics is a med spa right here in Hayward, and we see clients from all over the Northwoods and Northwestern Wisconsin. Living up here is good for the soul and rough on the skin. Sun off the lake all summer, wind and dry air all winter. Microneedling happens to be one of the kindest ways to give your skin a reset, and it does it by waking up the repair work your body already knows how to do.
What is Microneedling?
A pen-style device with very fine, sterile needles makes a bunch of tiny channels across the skin. Smaller than you’re picturing. Your body reads those little channels as “go fix this,” and gets busy making fresh collagen and elastin. Those are the two things that keep skin firm and bouncy, and they’re also the two things that quietly taper off as we age. That slowdown is a big part of why skin starts to look flatter and why lines settle in to stay.
Microneedling basically pokes that process awake again. The American Academy of Dermatology lists it as a legitimate way to improve skin texture and soften the look of scars and fine lines (more on that over at aad.org).
It’s minimally invasive. No cutting, no being put under. Most folks say it feels like light scratching, or that gritty sandpaper feeling, and we numb the area first so you’re comfortable the whole way through.
What Microneedling Can Help With
People come in for all kinds of reasons. The common ones:
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Acne scars and other textured scarring
- Enlarged or stubborn pores
- Uneven skin tone and dull, tired-looking skin
- Loss of firmness and elasticity
- Overall texture that feels rough or uneven
It works on the face and can also be used on areas like the neck. Because it is so versatile, we often tailor the exact approach to what your skin needs most.
Our Microneedling Treatments at Bare Beauty
We carry a few different microneedling treatments on purpose. Different skin, different goals, different budgets. Here’s the rundown.
Skin Repairing Microneedling (PDRN, Glass Skin, Brightening Skin Booster, Collagen Booster Serum, Ultra Firming Essence Booster)
This is our “AP” treatment, and people book it when they’re chasing that dewy, glass-skin look. It layers microneedling with a mix of nourishing boosters: PDRN, a collagen booster serum, and an ultra-firming essence. The combo brightens things up, feeds your collagen, and leaves skin looking fresh and a little glowy. If radiance and a smooth, glassy finish are the dream, start here.
Elite Skin Repair Microneedling
This one rolls three things into a single visit: microneedling, a Circadia facial, and LED light therapy. The needling gets collagen going, the facial cleans and feeds the skin, and the LED helps everything calm down and settle. Great pick if you’ve got a few things you’d like to tackle at once and want to leave looking genuinely refreshed rather than just “treated.”
Microneedling with Vitamin C and/or Hyaluronic Acid Serums
If you’re new to all this, this is a gentle place to begin. While the little channels are open, we work on some serious serums. Vitamin C to brighten and even things out, hyaluronic acid to pump in hydration and plumpness. Getting those ingredients down where they actually do something means better texture, softer lines, smaller-looking pores, and a healthy glow.
Microneedling + PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma Rejuvenation)
We draw a small bit of your blood, spin out the platelet-rich plasma, and apply that during your microneedling. That plasma is loaded with your own growth factors, so it really cranks up the healing and the collagen. Since it’s all coming from you, it’s a lovely choice for deeper rejuvenation or when there’s more than one thing you want to work on.
Not sure which one is right for you? That is completely okay. During a consultation, we will look at your skin together and help you choose with no pressure.

What To Expect Before, During, And After
Beforehand, we talk. Your goals, your skin history, anything you’re worried about. We’ll have you ease off certain products and skip the sun for a few days ahead of time, and we’ll spell all of that out so you’re not guessing.
The day of, we clean the skin and put on a numbing cream. Then the needling itself, which usually runs somewhere between half an hour and an hour, depending on which treatment you picked and how much area we’re covering.
After, expect some pink. Maybe a little flushed-looking, kind of like a mild sunburn, for a day or two. Most people are back to normal life pretty quickly. We’ll send you off with easy aftercare notes, and we’ll nag you a little about gentle products and sunscreen while your skin does its thing. The FDA has solid general info on microneedling devices and safety if you like reading up (fda.gov).
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
You’ll often catch a fresher, smoother look within a couple of weeks, and it keeps improving for months as the new collagen builds. For most stuff, three to six sessions a few weeks apart is the sweet spot for results that stick. We’ll sketch out a plan that matches your skin and your schedule so you always know what’s next.

Questions We Get A Lot
Does microneedling hurt?
For most people, it’s just light scratching or a scratchy, gritty feeling. We numb you first, so comfort isn’t really the issue.
How long is the downtime?
Not much. Skin tends to look pink for a day or two, like a mild sunburn, then you’re back to it. Keep things gentle and wear sunscreen.
What is the difference between microneedling with serums and microneedling with PRP?
The serum version pushes brightening and hydrating ingredients (Vitamin C, hyaluronic acid) into the skin. The PRP version uses growth factors from your own blood for a stronger, deeper boost.
Is microneedling safe for all skin tones?
Generally yes. Microneedling doesn’t lean on heat or light the way some treatments do, which is part of why it tends to work across a wide range of skin tones. We’ll still go over your skin and history first to be sure.
How soon will I see results?
Often, a fresher look within a couple of weeks, with more improvement rolling in over the next few months as collagen rebuilds.
How do I get started?
The easiest first step is a free consultation. Reach out through our contact page or call +1 715-558-9523, and we will take it from there.
