Microneedling in Tigard & Vancouver

Looking to soften fine lines and wrinkles, smooth rough texture, fade acne scarring, or give your skin an anti-aging boost? Microneedling stimulates your body’s natural healing process to build new collagen and elastin — for firmer, smoother, more radiant skin. At Amélie Med Spa in Tigard, OR and Vancouver, WA, we use the SkinPen®.

Serving Tigard, Tualatin, Lake Oswego, and the greater Portland, OR & Vancouver, WA metro area from two convenient locations.

The basics

What is microneedling?

Microneedling — also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) — uses a sterile, single-use needle cartridge to create tiny micro-channels in the skin. This triggers your body’s natural wound-healing response, producing fresh collagen and elastin.

The result is smoother, firmer, more even skin. In fact, a single treatment can produce as much collagen as you’d naturally lose over an entire year.

How it works

As the tiny channels heal, your skin rebuilds itself — growing new collagen and elastin fibers that improve tone, texture, and firmness, and remodel scar tissue from the inside out.

The technology

We use the SkinPen®

At Amélie, we use SkinPen® — the first FDA-cleared microneedling device approved for both the face and neck, with single-use, sterile cartridges that eliminate any risk of cross-contamination.

And every member of our team is SkinPen certified, so you’re always in expert, qualified hands.

Choose your coverage

Face, neck & chest

Microneedling can treat the face alone, the face and neck together, or the face, neck, and chest for full rejuvenation.

Face

Target fine lines, acne scars, pores, and texture across the whole face.

Recommended

Face & Neck

Our recommended starting point — the neck ages right alongside the face, so we treat them together for balanced, natural results.

Face, Neck & Chest

Full rejuvenation for the most sun-exposed areas — face, neck, and décolletage.

Our recommendation: We always suggest treating at least the face and neck together — the neck ages right alongside your face, and treating both keeps your results seamless and natural.

Microneedling add-ons

Amplify your results by pairing microneedling with one of our favorite boosters.

VAMP (Vampire Facial · PRF)

We draw a small amount of your blood and apply platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) into the freshly created microneedling channels. Packed with your own growth factors, it supercharges collagen production, speeds healing, and amplifies your glow — a 100% natural boost from your own body.

Botox add-on

Micro-dosed Botox worked into the surface of the skin (often called “microtox”) refines the look of large pores, calms oil and shine, and smooths fine surface texture for an airbrushed, poreless finish — without relaxing your expressions like traditional Botox.

Common questions

How many sessions will I need?
Most clients see noticeable improvement after a series of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart, depending on your skin and goals.
Is microneedling painful?
It’s quite comfortable. We numb the skin first — you’ll feel a vibration, and afterward it feels like a mild sunburn or windburn, tender but not painful.
What’s the downtime like?
Plan for about 24 hours of downtime, avoiding heat, sun, and sweating. Your skin may stay pink for up to 5 days, and you’ll use a gentle aftercare kit. You can wear makeup again 24 hours after your treatment.
When will I see results?
Results start around 2 weeks, with full results in about 4 to 6 weeks as new collagen builds. A single session can create as much collagen as you lose over an entire year.
How should I prepare?
Beforehand, avoid exfoliants and harsh skin treatments, waxing, direct sun and tanning beds, dermal fillers, and blood thinners like ibuprofen and aspirin. We’ll give you full pre- and post-care instructions.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes — microneedling pairs beautifully with PRF (our Vampire Facial) and targeted serums. Your provider will tailor a personalized plan.
Who is a good candidate?
Most people wanting to improve texture, scarring, fine lines, and overall radiance. A quick consultation confirms it’s right for you.
