You’ve tried every serum and acid on the market, but acne scars, enlarged pores, and fine lines remain stubbornly visible. Many patients hesitate to try deeper skin resurfacing because they fear the harsh, raw look that usually gets associated with aggressive cosmetic treatments or lasers. At Kucumber Skin Lounge, we use microneedling as a biological wake-up call to improve the appearance of your skin. It is a controlled way to convince your skin to act younger by repairing itself.

Microneedling uses a medical device to create microscopic punctures in the deeper layers of the skin. This collagen induction therapy triggers the body’s natural healing process, rapidly increasing collagen production to repair scars and wrinkles from within. Unlike a manual dermal roller, our professional devices use fine needles to create clean, tiny holes that stimulate collagen production for an overall improvement in texture and tone.

Microneedling therapy offers clinical-grade results with a significantly lower risk profile than deep chemical peels.
Treating fine lines is one of the most common goals for this anti-aging treatment. By creating microscopic punctures, the microneedling treatment forces the skin to generate new proteins that fill in fine lines and wrinkles.
To effectively treat acne scars and surgical scars, the thin needles must break up the fibrous tissue of deep scars. This helps level out the skin's surface and improve skin texture.
Microneedling stimulates the structural proteins that keep the skin tight, which naturally shrinks the look of enlarged pores.
When these tiny needles hit the skin, they trigger a healing process that sheds damaged cells. This fades dark spots and fixes sun damage without the intense recovery that you would need for heavy skin resurfacing.
The face is the main area we treat. We use a device specifically designed for precision in these delicate zones.
We use microneedling on the neck and chest to tighten sagging skin and soften lines. These areas are often more sensitive than the face, but the minimally invasive treatment is usually well-tolerated.
The hands often show age through dark spots and thin skin, which microneedling can effectively refresh. We also treat surgical scars and stretch marks on the abdomen or thighs by using longer needles when necessary to reach the target tissue.
Microneedling is becoming a frequent choice for those experiencing hair loss. The tiny needles can help stimulate collagen production and improve the environment of the scalp to support follicle health.
This treatment is minimally invasive and generally well tolerated; however, you should avoid microneedling if you have active skin infections, open wounds, or cold sores. I will turn away patients with a weakened immune system or those with a history of keloid scars. While microneedling outcomes are generally excellent, clinical studies suggest that those with certain skin conditions may require other treatments instead.
You will feel a light scratching or vibrating sensation as the fine needles move across the skin. We apply a high-strength numbing cream for 30 minutes before the treatment to minimize any "ouch" factor. After the device creates the channels, we apply a calming serum or growth factors—like platelet rich plasma—to aid the healing process and achieve optimal results.
You will look and feel like you have a mild sunburn for a few hours or up to two days. During this time, the area may show mild redness and some light flaking. It is important to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours while the tiny holes in your skin close up. For enhanced results, we recommend using Viktor Michael skincare products, which are formulated to protect the skin during this sensitive window.
One session usually isn't enough to see the overall improvement most people are looking for. While your skin might feel tighter and smoother in a matter of days, the internal collagen induction is a slower process.
Pricing will reflect the surface area addressed and the complexity of the correction required. Treating localized acne scars requires a different approach than a full face and neck session. Because we use professional devices rather than a simple dermal roller, the investment covers medical-grade safety and the expertise of our specialists.
A machine is only as good as the person holding it. While you can get microneedling at almost any dermatologist's office or spa, Kucumber is the only PNW med spa with a dedicated internal training academy. Founders Nadya Kozlova and Shay Sim have spent over two decades setting the standard for non-surgical medical aesthetics. Our mission statement is you, focusing on your vision and safety through curated, personalized treatment plans. We hand-select every service through a rigorous vetting process to deliver safety and efficacy that resets the bar for patient-centric care.

Yes. Because it is doesn't use heat, it is one of the safest cosmetic treatments for darker skin types.
You might see a glow after a few weeks, but the deep collagen remodeling for scars and wrinkles takes about six to eight weeks.
With our numbing cream, most people just feel a vibration or light scratching. It is much more comfortable than chemical peels or intense lasers.
A dermal roller can tear the skin as the needles enter at an angle. Our medical device uses vertical fine needles to create precise microscopic punctures.
Absolutely. We often use it alongside growth factors or platelet rich plasma for enhanced results and a faster healing process.
