What to Expect With Microneedling
We carefully assess your skin and discuss your goals, so we can tailor your treatment plan specifically to meet your needs.

The Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of fine lines by boosting your skin’s natural growth properties.
You can enjoy a more refined skin texture with minimized pores, so your skin looks and feels fresh and young.
Microneedling encourages skin renewal and cellular turnover, helping give you a brighter and more even complexion.

I LOVE Intentional Self Aesthetics! Dr. Alessio and her team are kind, helpful, and very knowledgeable with great bedside manners. I received my very first chemical peel from them. Holly and Dr. Teresa listened to my concerns and answered all of my "what if" questions with patience and kindness. The results of my peel were fantastic. I received many compliments on my skin -- people said I was glowing, that I looked great or beautiful, etc. And no, I didn't ask for those compliments -- they were freely given! :D Intentional Self Aesthetics is where I will be receiving all of my medical beauty treatments here on out. Thank you to the wonderful team!
