Our Microneedling Treatments
At Chance + Co, we offer two innovative microneedling solutions, each carefully selected for its results-driven capabilities and compatibility with our natural aesthetic philosophy.
VirtueRF Microneedling
VirtueRF combines the precision of microneedling with the tightening power of radiofrequency energy, stimulating collagen production at multiple skin depths. This advanced device offers enhanced results for skin laxity, tone, and texture with minimal downtime. VirtueRF is ideal for those seeking non-surgical skin tightening with subtle, graceful refinement.
SkinPen Microneedling with PRF
SkinPen microneedling is paired with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to enhance healing and rejuvenation using your body’s own regenerative power. This treatment is perfect for targeting acne scars, fine lines, and dullness with an added infusion of growth factors from your own blood. SkinPen with PRF is a gentle yet effective option for patients who prioritize natural enhancement.

How should I prepare for my microneedling appointment?
Avoid retinoids, chemical exfoliants, and sun exposure for 5–7 days before treatment. Let our team know if you have any recent breakouts or active skin infections, as these may require rescheduling.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, microneedling can be safely combined with treatments like HydraFacial, laser therapy, or injectables. During your consultation, we will customize a treatment plan based on your needs.
Are there any risks or side effects with microneedling?
Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and sensitivity. Rare risks include infection, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or prolonged irritation if aftercare is not followed properly.
Is microneedling safe for melanin-rich skin?
Yes, microneedling is considered safe for darker skin tones and carries a much lower risk of pigmentation issues compared to lasers. We tailor depth and frequency to your skin type to ensure safe results.
How often should I get microneedling treatments?
For most patients, 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart yield optimal results. Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months help sustain your improvements.
Can microneedling help with stretch marks or body scarring?
Yes, microneedling can be used on areas like the abdomen, thighs, or arms to reduce the appearance of stretch marks or surgical scars. Treatment may require more sessions than facial rejuvenation.
What is the difference between PRP and PRF in microneedling?
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) contains more regenerative components and releases growth factors more gradually than PRP, offering longer-lasting healing benefits when paired with microneedling.
Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to reduce the risk of irritation or infection. We will advise you on when and how to reintroduce makeup safely.
Is microneedling effective for enlarged pores?
Yes, microneedling improves skin texture and tightens pores by stimulating collagen around the follicle walls. Pore size reduction is gradual and becomes more noticeable with repeated treatments.
Does microneedling require any downtime?
Most patients experience only mild redness and resume daily activities within a day. You may choose to plan around social events due to temporary skin sensitivity and visible redness.
