Because your collagen deserves better than skincare folklore
Microneedling is having a moment—but let’s be clear, it’s not new. Dermatologists and aesthetic pros have been using this skin-renewing technique for decades. What is new? The tidal wave of misinformation flooding your feed.
At Cure, we believe in clean technique and even cleaner facts. So if you’re going to roll needles across your face (or more importantly, let us do it), here’s what you need to know—myths first.
MYTH 01: You can DIY microneedling at home and get the same results.
You could also give yourself a bob haircut in your bathroom mirror… but should you?
At-home dermarollers don’t penetrate deep enough to actually stimulate collagen, and worse—they can drag across the skin unevenly, causing microtears, scarring, or inflammation.
Truth: Professional microneedling (like SkinPen®, the FDA-cleared gold standard we use) reaches the dermis with controlled precision. It’s not a jade roller. It’s a collagen-inducing treatment, and it deserves clinical execution.
MYTH 02: It’s only for acne scars.
While microneedling does do wonders for post-acne scarring, its benefits go way beyond that. We use it to refine pores, soften fine lines, improve skin tone, and even boost product absorption.
Truth: Microneedling is one of the most versatile treatments in aesthetics. If you want smoother texture, firmer skin, or a healthier glow—it delivers.
MYTH 03: It’s painful and requires days of downtime.
This isn’t the red-faced “vampire facial” you’re imagining. Yes, we apply a numbing agent before treatment. No, you won’t look like you lost a fight afterward.
Truth: Most clients leave with mild redness (think: post-spin-class flush) that fades within 24–48 hours. And if we’re pairing it with PRP or exosomes? Even better recovery—and even better results.
MYTH 04: One session will change everything.
Microneedling is powerful—but it’s not a magic wand. Real skin change takes a series, and your skin’s history, age, and goals all matter.
Truth: Most clients see best results with 3–6 sessions, spaced about a month apart. And yes, the results are worth the commitment.
MYTH 05: All microneedling is created equal.
Technique matters. So does depth. So does post-care. If your provider’s using a generic pen with no plan and no follow-up protocol? That’s not it.
Truth: At Cure, we use the SkinPen® device, pair it with top-tier serums or PRP, and guide you through exactly what to do after. No guesswork. Just collagen that knows what it’s doing.
Bottom Line:
Microneedling isn’t trendy. It’s timeless—when it’s done right. If you’ve been on the fence, it’s time to step off and schedule a consultation.
We’ll help you cut through the noise and get down to what actually works—for your skin, your timeline, and your goals.
