Quick Answer
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling uses sterile micro-needles applied to the face to create controlled micro-injuries, which stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. It triggers collagen production like no other treatment can.
As the needles work, they also deliver adult stem cells, peptides and vitamins into the skin to nourish and heal it. Microneedling is a well-established treatment, performed for over 30 years and clinically proven and tested.
Consultation Required A consultation is needed before any microneedling treatment, so online booking is not available. Please call or text us on (309) 219-1140 to schedule.Pricing
Choose Your Treatment
Our prices are on a sliding scale based on your esthetician's experience with our company. Prices marked with a plus start at that figure.
Microneedling
Small needles puncture the superficial layer of the skin. This disruption stimulates the expression and deposition of collagen and elastin, resulting in brighter, tighter, younger-looking skin. We also infuse a growth factor serum through the needle punctures to further promote collagen production.
Micro-Lift Facial
A face-lifting facial that tightens and tones while giving a natural lift. Begins with a healthy cleanse and your choice of exfoliating microdermabrasion or a face-lifting microcurrent session. Completed with microneedling, where stem cells and peptides are infused deep into the skin to smooth lines, brighten and build collagen. Your skin continues to improve in the days afterwards.

What Microneedling Can Improve
Home Care
What Are You Doing the Other 29 Days?
We have a saying here at Vanilla Sugar. You can come in for a facial once a month, but what are you doing the other 29 days?
After microneedling your skin may be a little dry and flaky, and you have micro-channels open in the skin. This is the ideal moment to use excellent products, because they reach into the dermal layer. It is like your products are on steroids.
Expect to invest around $150 to $250 in your at-home products. If you are not willing to invest in good home care, we cannot guarantee results from your treatment.
Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions

How long does microneedling take to show results?
Results vary depending on individual factors and the concerns being addressed, but many people notice improvement in skin texture and appearance within a few weeks. Optimal results are typically achieved with a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.
Is microneedling painful?
It is generally well tolerated with minimal discomfort. A numbing cream is applied to the treatment area beforehand, and the tiny needles are designed to cause minimal sensation.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually a series of three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Your esthetician will create a personalized plan based on your specific concerns at your consultation.
Are there any side effects?
Microneedling is safe when performed by a trained professional. Some people experience temporary redness, mild swelling or sensitivity in the treated area, which typically settles within a few days.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Yes. It is often performed alongside serums or growth factors to further nourish the skin, and our Micro-Lift and Celebrity Microlift facials combine it with microdermabrasion and microcurrent.
Is there any downtime?
There may be minor redness and sensitivity immediately afterwards, but no significant downtime. Most people resume regular activities straight away, following the skincare precautions we provide.
Why can't I book microneedling online?
A consultation is required before any microneedling treatment so we can assess whether it is right for your skin. Call or text us on (309) 219-1140 to arrange it.
Why do I need to invest in home care?
After treatment you have micro-channels open in the skin, which is the ideal time for products to reach the dermal layer. Expect to invest around $150 to $250. Without good home care we cannot guarantee results.
