Why We Love It
Customized Treatments
Adjustable needle depth makes it versatile, allowing it to be used on many parts of the body.
Induces Healing
Microneedling minimizes pore size, reduces acne scars, fades hyperpigmentation, and helps reverse sun damage.
Collagen Production and Repair
Rejuvapen NXT stimulates collagen production to lift & tighten skin, lighten stretch marks, and smooth irregular textures.
For the Science Babes
This controlled process stimulates collagen and elastin production and promotes the formation of new skin cells to make a more youthful and vibrant appearance. Microneedling is based on the skin’s natural ability to repair itself when injured. After an injury (such as with any resurfacing treatment), our skin begins the process of dissolving damaged tissue and replacing it with new cells—even when the “injuries” are too tiny to cause any scars or lasting damage.
The Play-by-Play
The Microneedling Process
Step 1
Consultation
At your remote or in-person consultation, we talk to you about your health history, skin type, and goals for treatment. A member of Shot Bar’s medically trained staff will examine your areas of concern. Then, we will develop a customized plan to address your skin goals and get your first treatment scheduled.
Step 2
Treatment
A numbing agent can be applied 30 to 45 minutes before your treatment. Microneedling in Lincoln Park utilizes a device equipped with tiny needles to create a rapid succession of micro-punctures in the skin. For boosting collagen and elastin, we usually recommend a series of 3 treatments scheduled every 4 to 6 weeks.
Step 3
Aftercare
For best results, follow your provider’s aftercare instructions. Using a gentle cleanser in the morning and at night is recommended. Talk to us about which sunscreen and skincare products are safe to use following treatment. A series of treatments is recommended followed by yearly maintenance for best results.

Questions? We've Got The Answers
This treatment is known to be somewhat painful. However, numbing agents are applied prior to your microneedling treatment at Shot Bar. It takes 30 to 45 minutes for these numbing agents to take effect.
You may experience some mild redness and swelling after your microneedling treatment. This is normal, and it will subside within a few days. During this time, we’ll recommend that you refrain from intense exercise and harsh products, as your skin will be especially vulnerable. Some patients also prefer to do a few days of “social downtime” to let their skin heal. We’ll provide you with the full scoop on aftercare at your consultation!
