Microneedling
Microneedling is a clinical skin-treatment service offered at Touch of Beauty by Kali Tocco,
Registered Practical Nurse (RPN), under appropriate medical direction.
This treatment involves
creating controlled micro-channels in the skin using a sterile, medical-grade device as part of a
personalized skin-care plan.
A comprehensive consultation is required to determine whether microneedling is appropriate
based on your skin characteristics, health history, and individual goals.
​
What This Treatment Involves
Microneedling uses a medical-grade device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create
controlled micro-channels in the skin. This process is performed in a clinical environment using
sterile technique by a trained nurse.
Topical numbing may be offered when indicated to support comfort during the procedure.
Treatment protocols are selected based on professional assessment and your individualized care
plan.
​
Consultation & Assessment
Every microneedling treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation, which includes:
• Review of your medical history and current medications
• Assessment of your skin characteristics and concerns
• Discussion of appropriate treatment options and alternatives
• Explanation of potential risks, expected experiences, and after-care guidance
This process supports informed decision-making and ensures that any treatment offered is
suitable and safe.
​
During the Treatment
If microneedling is included in your care plan, treatment will be performed in a clinical setting
using sterile technique. The procedure typically involves:
1. Preparing and cleansing the treatment area
2. Application of topical numbing when appropriate
3. Performing microneedling according to your individualized plan
Treatment duration may vary depending on the areas assessed and clinical considerations.
​
Aftercare & What to Expect
Following microneedling, you may experience temporary responses such as mild redness,
tenderness, or slight swelling at the treatment site. These responses are common and typically
resolve within a short period.
Your nurse will provide personalized after-care instructions to support comfort, skin recovery,
and safety following your appointment.
Responses to microneedling vary between individuals. Follow-up appointments may berecommended to review how your skin is responding and to determine whether additional sessions are appropriate for your care plan.
​
Safety & Eligibility
Microneedling is not suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions, active skin concerns, medications, pregnancy, or skin sensitivities may affect eligibility.
As with all clinical procedures, microneedling carries potential risks. These considerations will
be reviewed during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
