At Skincare Sommelier Beauty Lab & Med Spa, we focus on treatments that respect and enhance the skin’s natural physiology. Located in Forest Hills, our clinic offers microneedling — a medical-grade remodeling that rivals the results of invasive procedures without the recovery time your NYC lifestyle can’t afford.
Utilizing the FDA-cleared SkinPen device, we provide a safe, effective, and evidence-based approach to skin health tailored to the high expectations of our New York City clientele.
Revitalize your complexion with Microneedling. Our personalized collagen induction therapy activates your body’s healing powers.
By creating thousands of precise micro-channels, the SkinPen doesn’t just treat the surface — it forces your skin to initiate a deep, structural healing response known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). This resurfacing process triggers a controlled remodeling of the dermis from the inside out.
Professional microneedling is different from standard cosmetic treatments. It encourages the remodeling of existing tissue. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, this technique starts a cascade of growth factors. These growth factors stimulate the formation of new collagen and elastin fibers, which are the essential components of firm, resilient skin. Unlike other treatments, microneedling has been shown to boost collagen production by up to 400% within 4 weeks in controlled clinical settings, providing a dramatic, visible improvement in skin texture and appearance. Clinical studies from the National Institutes of Health (NCBI) confirm that microneedling is very effective for the long-term treatment of scars and fine lines.
At our Forest Hills Skincare Sommelier, microneedling ensures clinical precision. We reach the precise dermal depth needed for significant structural improvement.
The efficacy of microneedling treatment lies in the body’s internal repair system. As the SkinPen moves across the treatment area, the microscopic injuries prompt the replacement of damaged tissue with organized, healthy cells. These micro-channels also facilitate the delivery of active topicals — such as PRF or specialized serums — deeper into the skin layers. This synergism significantly accelerates skin renewal, resulting in a smoother and more refined complexion. Microneedling refines skin texture. It restores a natural, healthy glow.
Sommelier Team, says,
Microneedling is an investment in your skin’s future — the more we support its natural collagen production today, the more resilient it remains tomorrow.
Microneedling benefits the skin by targeting structural damage at its source. At our Forest Hills facility, we develop targeted protocols for a variety of dermatological needs.
For many of our clients in Queens, microneedling for acne scars is a primary treatment for skin clarity. The microneedling process breaks up fibrous, depressed scar tissue and stimulates the formation of new, smooth tissue. The microneedling procedure markedly reduces the depth of atrophic scars while creating a more even skin surface.
Additionally, by strengthening the structural walls around the pores, it noticeably decreases their appearance, resulting in a more refined look.
As dermal density decreases over time, fine lines become more prominent. Microneedling for wrinkles approaches this by thickening the dermal layer through natural remodeling. Natural remodeling through microneedling softens age-related lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead, providing a refreshed appearance while preserving your natural facial expressions.
The regenerative power of the SkinPen extends to body treatments. Our protocols for stretch marks focus on improving the texture and pigment of striations, helping them blend more naturally with the surrounding skin.
Technology choice is paramount in medical aesthetics. We exclusively use SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics, the first microneedling device to be cleared by the FDA.
The Skin Pen offers a level of safety that generic devices cannot match. Its patented, single-use needle cartridge and precise depth control prevent the micro-tearing of the epidermis often seen with at-home rollers or non-medical pens. For our NYC patients, this provides a microneedling experience with minimal risk and maximum clinical efficacy.
Microneedling is one of the most inclusive treatments available in modern aesthetics. Because it is a mechanical rather than a thermal (heat-based) treatment, it is exceptionally safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types (I-VI).
Ideal Candidates: Individuals seeking to improve acne scars, wrinkles, or large pores.
Contraindications: We do not recommend this collagen-stimulating procedure for individuals with active skin infections, open wounds, or those who have used Accutane within the last six months. A complete clinical screening is part of every consultation at Skincare Sommelier Beauty Lab & Med Spa in Forest Hills, NYC.
Consultation & Assessment: We begin with an in-depth skin analysis at our Forest Hills location to determine if microneedling is the right fit for your goals.
Numbing & Preparation: A high-potency topical numbing cream is applied to ensure the microneedling face treatment is virtually painless.
The Microneedling Treatment: Our licensed professionals perform the collagen induction therapy, adjusting needle depth based on the specific area and concern (e.g., deeper for acne scars, shallower for fine lines).
Soothing & Hydration: We finish by applying a soothing peptide complex or hyaluronic acid to calm the skin and lock in moisture.
Most of the time, recovery is pretty quick, but it is important to follow the aftercare instructions for the best results. For the first couple of days, you will experience some redness, almost as if you have a sunburn.
Follow Professional Instructions: Follow the aftercare and product use to maintain your clinician’s process.
What can you expect? Most clients experience visible improvement in skin “bounce” and radiance after a single microneedling treatment. However, for bigger structural changes:
– Microneedling for acne scars typically requires 3–6 sessions.
– Microneedling results for general anti-aging are best maintained with quarterly visits.

The Sommelier Team
Our clients love their experiences at Skincare Sommelier Beauty Lab & Med Spa. Here’s what they have to say:
Join our growing family of satisfied clients and let us help you achieve your beauty and wellness goals.
The microneedling cost varies based on the treatment area and the inclusion of regenerative boosters like PRF or Exosomes. During your clinical consultation in Forest Hills, we provide a detailed quote designed for your personalized treatment plan.
Our emphasis is on patient comfort. With our medical-grade numbing protocols, most clients describe it as a light, vibrating sensation across the microneedling area of the face.
We typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 microneedling sessions to achieve the desired level of dermal remodeling and significant texture improvement.
While you will notice a “glow” shortly after a treatment, the structural microneedling results develop over 3 to 6 months. Many clients schedule maintenance sessions every quarter to preserve their microneedling benefits.
Most clients have mild redness and slight swelling for 24 to 48 hours, as if they have a slight sunburn. Following microneedling aftercare instructions is essential to support the skin’s barrier function, promote efficient recovery, and help you return to your routine quickly.
While the initial inflammatory response subsides quickly, the internal remodeling continues for several weeks, resulting in progressive improvements in texture and tone.
Yes, as long as you adhere to strict UV protection. Since microneedling increases photosensitivity, people in Queens must use medical-grade SPF 50+ and avoid direct sun for at least 1 week after the treatment. NYC summer sun is intense, so we stress the importance of consistent physical sunblock to help protect the skin while its natural defenses are recovering.
While both promote skin renewal, they work in different ways. Microneedling is a mechanical process that builds structure from the inside out, whereas chemical peels use acids to exfoliate. These treatments are often done in conjunction for a total skin transformation.
We recommend waiting at least 24 hours to apply any makeup. The micro-channels created by the SkinPen need to stay clear to allow the skin to heal properly. After the 24 hour mark, we suggest using clean, mineral-based makeup products while the skin is healing.
Absolutely. Microneedling differs from laser treatments, which can increase the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation for skin types IV-VI (by Fitzpatrick). Microneedling is purely mechanical. It is a heat-free process that uses the skin’s natural regenerative abilities, making it a safe treatment for all skin types in our Queens community.
