Microneedling in Virginia Beach is one of the most effective and in-demand treatments for smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. Whether you’re targeting acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, or dullness, microneedling treatments at The Skin Chic in Virginia Beach offer powerful, long-lasting results. 

We go beyond basic microneedling by offering both traditional SkinPen Microneedling and advanced Potenza RF Microneedling, performed by highly experienced professionals with over 10,000 hours of microneedling experience.

If you're new to microneedling or wondering if it's the right solution for your skin, this guide breaks down what it is, how it works, what to expect, and how we customize your experience at The Skin Chic.

What Is Microneedling and How Does It Work?

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses tiny sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These microchannels stimulate the body’s natural healing process, triggering the production of collagen and elastin—the building blocks of firm, youthful skin. As your skin heals, it becomes smoother, tighter, and more even in tone and texture.

Microneedling is safe for most skin types and offers impressive results with little to no downtime, making it a popular option for those who want real results without harsh procedures.

Benefits of Microneedling

• Minimizes acne scars and post-inflammatory marks
• Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Improves skin texture and elasticity
• Shrinks enlarged pores
• Enhances product absorption and effectiveness
• Firms and tightens loose or crepey skin
• Evens skin tone and fades discoloration

SkinPen Microneedling: Precision for Radiant Skin

At The Skin Chic, we use the FDA-cleared SkinPen device for traditional microneedling. SkinPen offers consistent depth and precision, allowing us to safely treat delicate areas and target a wide range of skin concerns. As SkinPen Ambassadors with more than 10,000 hours of microneedling experience, we understand how to tailor each session to your unique skin needs.

SkinPen Microneedling is best for concerns like acne scarring, dull or uneven tone, early signs of aging, and large pores. The treatment takes about 45–60 minutes, and you can typically resume normal activities within 24–48 hours.

Potenza RF Microneedling: Advanced Skin Tightening and Collagen Remodeling

Potenza RF Microneedling is a next-generation technology that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This dual action stimulates collagen production in both the upper and deeper layers of skin, offering more dramatic skin tightening and rejuvenation.

Potenza is ideal for deeper wrinkles, loss of firmness, advanced acne scarring, and overall collagen loss. It’s a game-changer for clients looking to lift and firm skin on the face, jawline, neck, or body without surgery or fillers.

RF energy delivers heat into the dermis, boosting skin tightening while minimizing damage to the surface. While downtime is slightly longer than SkinPen, the results are more dramatic and continue to improve for weeks following each session.

What to Expect After Microneedling

Your skin may appear pink or flushed for 1 to 3 days after treatment. Some clients experience light peeling, dryness, or tightness, which resolves quickly as skin regenerates. You’ll want to avoid sun exposure, sweating, makeup, and harsh skincare products for 24 to 48 hours.

Results appear gradually, often within a week, and continue to improve over time as your skin produces new collagen. A series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart delivers the best outcome, though many clients notice a visible glow after their first session.

Enhance Your Results with All-In Facials

Microneedling works best when your skin is supported with the right treatments before and after your session. That’s why we often recommend pairing microneedling with our signature All-In Facial. This hyper-customized facial is designed to exfoliate, hydrate, and balance the skin, creating the perfect foundation for microneedling and enhancing your results.

All-In Facials use medical-grade skincare products, enzymes, and advanced techniques tailored to your unique skin type. Whether you’re preparing for microneedling or giving your skin extra love post-treatment, this facial ensures your skin stays healthy, calm, and radiant.

Boost Collagen Further with PicoSure Pro and Tetra PRO CO2 Lasers

For deeper skin concerns—like stubborn acne scars, texture irregularities, or signs of aging—microneedling can be combined with advanced laser treatments. At The Skin Chic, we offer two powerful laser options that work beautifully alongside microneedling:

PicoSure Pro: This revolutionary laser targets pigment and stimulates collagen using ultra-short pulses. It’s ideal for melasma, sun damage, and acne scarring, and is safe for all skin tones.

Tetra PRO CO2 with CoolPeel: This fractional laser delivers deeper resurfacing for fine lines, deep wrinkles, and scars. It can be used in a more intensive setting or in lighter “CoolPeel” mode with minimal downtime.

These lasers can be alternated or layered into a long-term skin health plan, depending on your concerns. We customize every protocol to ensure safety, results, and your desired outcome.

Is Microneedling Right for You?

Microneedling is suitable for most healthy adults with concerns like acne scarring, dullness, texture issues, fine lines, or mild skin laxity. It is safe for all skin types and tones. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or currently experiencing active skin infections, microneedling may not be appropriate.

During your consultation at The Skin Chic, we’ll evaluate your skin, listen to your goals, and develop a treatment plan that fits your schedule, skin condition, and comfort level.
