Microneedling Skin Rejuvenation Treatments in Wisconsin
A Quick, Minimally Invasive Treatment
Microneedling Treatment
- Acne scars
- Traumatic scars
- Lines and wrinkles
- Epidermal pigments

The results of this treatment can be further enhanced by receiving a 15% Trichloracetic Acid Peel (TCA) immediately after Microneedling.
Multiple treatments are recommended to achieve the best results. A typical course of treatment is one appointment every 3-4 weeks for 4-6 months. You can expect to then continue to see results for up to 6-8 months as your skin produces new collagen.
Treatment time: 30-60 minutes
Your Microneedling Consultation
Your skin requires a tailored program of care to optimize its health and appearance. At your consultation, one of our Medical Aesthetics Specialists will gather information from you about your skin concerns, examine your skin and explain what they discover. They will help you prioritize and achieve your best skin by preparing a treatment plan that ensures any skin treatments you choose are provided in a manner that is as effective and as safe as possible. Our Medical Aesthetics Specialists have trained under Double-Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Richard Parfitt. Their extensive knowledge of non-surgical procedures, skin care and skin rejuvenation treatments ensures they are skilled skin-care specialists in your chosen treatment.
If you are a new client of AestheticA Skin Health Center and are interested in a specific treatment, time may be allotted for the consultation and treatment to be completed in one appointment. If you are a previous client of AestheticA, but have not been seen by our clinic within a year, a brief follow-up from your last treatment will be scheduled to discuss your previous treatment, or any new skin concerns in addition to your scheduled treatment.

At least 5 days prior to each treatment:
- Discontinue use of exfoliating creams, such as Retin-A and hydroxy acids.
Day of treatment:
- Your skin should be thoroughly cleaned and dried, removing any makeup, creams, oils, topical anesthetics or tanning products from the treatment area(s).
Post-treatment Instructions:
- Typical side effects from the treatment include redness (comparable to moderate sunburn), some swelling and some minor pin point bleeding. These side effects usually lessen 48-72 hours after the treatment.
- During the first 3 days, you may also experience some skin tightness, dryness and mild sensitivity to touch.
- Please notify your provider if any side effects become worse or are unanticipated as soon as I am aware of them.
