Microneedling
THE SKIN DEEP METHOD™
🛠️ Your LEVEL 4 → REPAIR ROUTINE
You need deeper, targeted microneedling focused on true collagen remodeling—not surface-level treatments.
LEVEL 4
Best for:
For experienced microneedlers with acne scars, deep wrinkles, or stretch marks who are ready for precision, deep-tissue remodeling.
Ideal Next Step
Level 4 → Continue every 4–6 weeks until goals are achieved.
Recovery Time: Redness 3–7 days
Results: Restore • Remodel • Transform - Improved appearance of scars and stretch marks
BEFORE YOU ADVANCE
Readiness Prerequisites - Confirm All of the Following
✓ Completed multiple Level 2 or Level 3 sessions successfully
✓ No active acne, open lesions, or active skin infections in treatment area
✓ Understand PIH risk — especially important for Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI
______________________________________________________________________________________________________
✓ Skin heals fully within 5–7 days with no prolonged redness or reactions
If you cannot confirm all four — do not proceed to Level 4. Complete additional Level 2 or Level 3 sessions first. There is no shortcut through healing.

💧 Glide Requirement (All Levels):
Always use a hydrating slip serum to minimize friction and protect the skin barrier during microneedling. Hyaluronic acid-based formulas are ideal—options like Stayve Medisco Hyaluronic Acid and Hyaron provide excellent glide and hydration support.
🚫 Avoid during microneedling:
-
Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)
-
Retinoids
-
Acids (AHA/BHA/PHA)
-
Fragrance
-
Essential oils
