Microneedling in Georgetown, KY

Q: What microneedling device does ERA use?

ERA Wellness Spa uses the Candela Exceed medical microneedling system. Exceed has FDA-cleared indications for the treatment of facial wrinkles and facial acne scar reduction.

How It Works

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses tiny, controlled microchannels to stimulate the skin’s natural renewal process.

As the skin responds, the treatment supports new collagen and elastin production, helping improve the appearance of texture, facial wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin quality over time.

At ERA Wellness Spa, every microneedling treatment is personalized based on your skin, your concerns, and the results you want to achieve.

A Controlled Approach to Skin Renewal

Controlled Microchannels

Microneedling creates precise microchannels in the skin without removing the surface layer.

Natural Renewal Response

The skin responds to these controlled channels by beginning a natural repair and renewal process.

Collagen & Elastin Support

Over time, increased collagen and elastin activity can help skin look smoother, firmer, and more refined.

Candela Exceed™

Medical Microneedling System

Why It Matters

Professional Technology. Personalized Treatment.

FDA-Cleared Technology

Exceed™ has FDA-cleared indications for the treatment of facial wrinkles and facial acne scar reduction.

Controlled Treatment

Treatment settings are selected by your provider to create a controlled microneedling treatment appropriate for your skin and treatment plan.

Personalized at ERA

We evaluate your concerns, skin, and goals to determine an individualized approach rather than using the same treatment plan for every patient.

Microneedling is not appropriate for everyone. Your ERA provider will review your health history, skin, and treatment goals to determine whether treatment is appropriate for you.

Facial Wrinkles

Microneedling can help soften the appearance of facial wrinkles by supporting the skin’s natural renewal and collagen response.

Acne Scars

Controlled microneedling can help improve the appearance of facial acne scars and create a smoother-looking skin surface.

Uneven Texture

Treatment can help improve the look of rough or uneven skin texture for a smoother, more refined appearance.

Visible Pores

As overall skin texture improves, enlarged or visible pores may appear less noticeable.

Dull or Rough-Looking Skin

Microneedling can support a fresher, smoother-looking complexion by encouraging the skin’s natural renewal process.

Overall Skin Quality

A personalized treatment series may help improve the overall look and feel of the skin over time.

Candela Exceed™ has FDA-cleared indications for facial wrinkles and facial acne scar reduction. Other treatment goals may be considered based on your individual evaluation and treatment plan.

Your Appointment

What to Expect During Microneedling

Your microneedling appointment at ERA is designed around your skin, concerns, and treatment goals. Your provider will guide you through each step and tailor the treatment plan to you.

Preparation and aftercare instructions may vary depending on your skin and treatment plan. Follow the instructions provided by your ERA provider before and after your appointment.

Consultation & Skin Assessment

Your provider will review your skin concerns, goals, relevant health history, and previous treatments to determine whether microneedling is appropriate for you.

Skin Preparation

Your skin will be prepared for treatment, and your provider will review the areas being treated and the plan for your session.

Personalized Microneedling Treatment

The treatment is performed using settings selected for your skin and treatment goals. Your provider works systematically across the planned treatment areas.

Aftercare Guidance

Before you leave, your provider will review what to expect after treatment and provide guidance for caring for your skin during the recovery period.

After Treatment

Your Recovery

Temporary Redness

Redness, warmth, or a sunburn-like appearance may occur after treatment and can vary based on your skin and the treatment performed.

Sensitivity or Dryness

Some patients may notice temporary sensitivity, tightness, dryness, or mild flaking as the skin moves through the recovery process.

Gentle Aftercare

Follow the skincare and sun-protection instructions provided by your ERA provider and avoid adding products or treatments that have not been recommended during recovery.

Skin Renewal

Your Results

Improvement Develops Gradually

Microneedling works with the skin’s natural renewal response, so changes in texture and overall appearance develop over time rather than immediately.

A Series May Be Recommended

Depending on your concerns and treatment goals, your provider may recommend more than one treatment as part of your personalized plan.

Results Are Individual

Response to treatment varies from person to person. Your ERA provider will discuss realistic expectations based on your skin, concerns, and treatment plan.

Recovery and results vary by patient and treatment. Follow your provider’s individualized instructions and contact ERA Wellness Spa if you have questions about your skin after your appointment.

Personalized Treatment Planning

Is Microneedling Right for You?

Microneedling may be a good option for patients who want to improve the appearance of facial wrinkles, acne scars, uneven texture, or overall skin quality without a more aggressive resurfacing treatment.

The best way to know whether it fits your goals is through an individualized evaluation. Your ERA provider will review your skin, health history, previous treatments, and expectations before recommending a treatment plan.
