Contact UsWhat is Microneedling?
If over-the-counter skin products aren't proving effective and you're not ready for surgical procedures, you could try minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatments such as microneedling. Our team is pleased to offer microneedling (collagen induction therapy) at our office in Meridian, ID, utilizing cutting-edge tools like Skin Stylus and Rejuvapen. Microneedling uses multiple fine needles to safely and effectively make micro-injuries in the needed areas of the skin. The micro-injuries trigger the body's natural production of elastin and collagen, two nutrients that increase the health and appearance of your skin. Easily performed with other skin treatments, such as serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), microneedling may help minimize stretch marks, scars, and pores. Make an appointment for a consultation at Oasis MedSpa & IV Bar to discover more about the results of microneedling and how to customize your treatment for your skin needs and goals.
What Are The Benefits Of Microneedling?
At Oasis MedSpa & IV Bar, we encourage microneedling for people who would like the following benefits:
- Safe, nonsurgical treatment option
- Minimization of scars, hyperpigmentation, or stretch marks
- Better texture and appearance of skin
- Minimized look of wrinkles, fine lines, and signs of aging
Am I A Good Candidate For Microneedling?
You may benefit from microneedling if you experience slight to moderate complexion problems, such as a decrease in elasticity or rough skin texture. Collagen induction therapy procedures, enhanced with tools like Skin Stylus and Rejuvapen, may also minimize the appearance of stretch marks, scars, and pores. You need to be willing to wait a while before seeing improvements from your microneedling treatment since collagen and elastin will need time to develop and have an impact on the skin; however, you should eventually have natural-looking results and gain healthier overall skin.
What to Expect from Microneedling
You may have mild redness and swelling for around a day, but this should subside on its own. As the collagen and elastin supply increases, it may take 1 – 2 months before you see significant changes in the appearance and health of your treated skin, especially when using advanced tools like Skin Stylus and Rejuvapen. We recommend 4 – 6 maintenance treatments every 4 – 6 weeks for ideal outcomes and long-term skin benefits.
Microneedling Reviews
Great experience with Nancy and Camille! I went to have microneedling for the first time and will definitely be back. They made me feel comfortable and answered all my silly questions. They were very professional and knowledgeable yet down to earth. Highly recommend!
I was scared to death of the idea of microneedling but Sara put me at ease...she talked me through the process and used amazing numbing cream. It honestly felt like she was tickling my face. I will definitely return to Oasis Medspa for more facial needs, especially microneedling. Sara is amazing and my skin looks great!

About UsMicroneedling FAQs
What exactly is microneedling?
Collagen induction therapy or microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure to tighten and rejuvenate your skin. Collagen is a fibrous protein that helps your skin stay supple, smooth, and firm. As you get older, your natural supply of collagen is reduced, and your skin gets thin and less elastic. Microneedling creates small wounds in your skin. These micro-injuries prompt your skin to generate new skin cell growth and increase collagen production. Once healed, your skin looks brighter, firmer, and healthier.
How many microneedling treatments are recommended for optimal results?
Typically, patients need 3 – 6 microneedling sessions to see optimal results. Although, the number of sessions you require will vary based on the condition of your skin and your goals. Microneedling can be safely done every 4 – 6 weeks. In your consultation, we will estimate how many sessions you will want based on your skin and goals. When you have reached your goal, we suggest getting touch-up treatments two times a year.
Is microneedling safe for everyone?
In general, microneedling is safe for all skin tones and types. Since the skin injuries created are so minor, there are rarely side effects after the treatment. Microneedling can be performed on most areas of skin, including the face, arms, neck, chest, thighs, and calves. Microneedling is not recommended if you've used Accutane in the last few months, as well as if you have an open wound, herpes simplex, or active skin infection. Additionally, you might not be a candidate for microneedling if you are pregnant, nursing, or receiving radiation treatments.
How much does microneedling cost?
In your initial consultation, our team will analyze your skin and then develop your custom treatment plan. Once this is done, they will go over your costs and the procedure. Oasis MedSpa & IV Bar often offers discounts on skin treatment packages, so be sure to ask about our current deals during your appointment.
Can I combine other treatments with microneedling?
In the process of microneedling, channels are created in your skin that help other treatments to penetrate the lower layers. That's why microneedling is commonly combined before other treatments, such as special serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Microneedling with PRP is more commonly known as the vampire facial. In your initial consultation, our team can talk about which treatments may be performed along with microneedling and which would most benefit your skin.
Should I get microneedling or injectable wrinkle treatments?
Microneedling can provide long-term results, other treatments deliver faster improvements. Depending on your concerns, you might want microneedling alone or you may want to combine it with an injectable wrinkle treatment, like Restylane, Juvéderm, or BOTOX. At your consultation, your technician will build your treatment plan to fit all your concerns and goals.
