INSIDE OUT SKIN REBUILDING
Microneedling doesn't
resurface your skin.
It rebuilds it from within.
Most skin treatments work from the outside in — topical products, peels, and lasers address the surface layers of the skin. Microneedling works differently. By creating thousands of precise micro-channels in the dermis, it triggers your body's own wound-healing response — stimulating collagen and elastin production deep in the tissue where lasting skin improvement actually happens.
The result is skin improvement that looks and feels completely natural, because it is: your own collagen, stimulated and guided to regenerate. At JS Wellness in Eudora, KS, we use the Exceed microneedling system by Candela — a medical-grade device chosen for its precision, consistency, and proven safety profile across a wide range of skin types and concerns.
Microneedling pairs exceptionally well with professional facials and laser rejuvenation — together addressing skin aging from the inside and outside simultaneously.
"Microneedling is one of those treatments where the results genuinely surprise people — because they don't look like they've had a treatment, they just look like they have great skin."
— TRISTAN ABEL, LE · Esthetician, JS Wellness
Stimulates your own collagen — not a filler
Microneedling doesn't inject anything. It triggers your body's natural healing response to produce new collagen and elastin — improvement that looks authentic because it genuinely is your own tissue rebuilding.
FDA-cleared medical device — not a spa roller
The Exceed by Candela is FDA-cleared for multiple skin indications. This is not the same as a dermaroller or entry-level spa device. The depth precision, sterile single-use cartridges, and clinical-grade motor make all the difference in results and safety.
Safe for all skin types including darker tones
Microneedling is safe across all Fitzpatrick skin types — including darker skin tones that many laser treatments cannot safely address. No risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation when performed correctly.
Minimal downtime — back to life in 24 hours
Most patients experience mild redness for 24–48 hours after treatment — similar to a mild sunburn. No peeling, no weeks of recovery. Most patients return to normal activities the following day.
WHY THE DEVICE MATTERS
The Exceed by Candela — why we chose it
Not all microneedling devices are created equal. The quality, precision, and
consistency of the device directly determines the quality of your results — and
your safety. Here's why we chose Exceed.
FDA CLEARED MEDICAL DEVICE
Exceed Microneedling by Candela
Candela is one of the most respected names in medical aesthetics — known for engineering-grade precision and clinical outcome data. The Exceed system was designed specifically for clinical efficacy and patient safety, with a motor and needle mechanism that delivers consistent depth, speed, and spacing across every pass — eliminating the variability that affects results with lesser devices.
Every treatment uses single-use, sterile cartridges — eliminating any risk of cross-contamination. The dual-mode capability allows us to adjust needle depth and speed precisely for different areas of the face and body, different skin types, and different treatment goals.
FDA CLEARANCE
Acne scars, fine lines, skin texture, stretch marks
🎯
Consistent depth — zero variability
The Exceed's precision motor maintains exact needle depth across every pass — unlike manual rollers or lesser devices where pressure variation causes inconsistent penetration depth and uneven results.
🛡️
Sterile single-use cartridges
Every cartridge is opened fresh from sterile packaging for your treatment and discarded immediately after. No shared tips, no reuse — ever. This is the clinical standard that matters for your safety.
⚙️
Dual-mode depth control
Different areas of the face and body require different needle depths. The forehead and under-eyes need shallower penetration than cheeks or acne scars. Exceed allows precise adjustment — critical for both safety and results.
📊
Clinical outcome data behind it
Candela's Exceed has published clinical data supporting its efficacy for acne scarring and skin texture improvement. We chose it because the evidence base backs it — not just because it's available.
🌍
Safe for all skin types
FDA-cleared across all Fitzpatrick skin types I–VI. Patients with darker skin tones who cannot safely receive certain laser treatments can receive Exceed microneedling with confidence.

WHAT MICRONEEDLING ADDRESSES
One treatment. A wide range of concerns.
Microneedling's collagen-stimulating mechanism addresses a broad range of skin concerns — all through the same fundamental process of controlled skin renewal.
🕳️
Acne Scars
One of the most effective non-surgical treatments for atrophic (pitted) acne scars — breaks down scar tissue and rebuilds with new collagen
〰️
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Stimulates collagen production in the dermis to plump and smooth fine lines — particularly effective around the eyes, mouth, and forehead
🍊
Skin Texture & Pore Size
Improves overall skin texture, reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, and creates a smoother, more refined surface over a series of treatments
🌗
Hyperpigmentation
Accelerated skin renewal from microneedling helps fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone over time
📏
Stretch Marks
FDA-cleared for stretch mark improvement — microneedling stimulates collagen in the dermis beneath stretch marks, gradually improving appearance and texture
💧
Skin Laxity
New collagen and elastin production improves skin firmness and tightness — subtle but meaningful improvement in skin quality and resilience
☀️
Sun Damage & Dullness
Stimulated skin renewal removes damaged surface cells and replaces them with fresh, healthy skin — restoring radiance and evening overall tone
🧴
Enhanced Product Absorption
Micro-channels created during treatment dramatically increase the penetration of topical serums — post-treatment application of Plated or ZO serums is significantly more effective
🔄
Surgical Scar Improvement
Microneedling can improve the appearance of surgical scars by breaking down fibrous tissue and encouraging more normal collagen remodeling
THE SCIENCE
How microneedling rebuilds your skin
Microneedling works by initiating a precise, controlled wound-healing
cascade in the dermis. Here's what's happening step by step.
🔢 01
Thousands of micro-channels
The Exceed's fine needles create thousands of tiny, controlled punctures in the dermis — at precisely calibrated depths ranging from 0.5mm to 2.5mm depending on the area and concern being treated. These channels are too small to cause significant trauma but large enough to trigger healing.
🩸 02
Inflammatory Cascade Begins
The micro-injuries trigger the body's natural wound-healing response — platelet activation, growth factor release, and the migration of fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells) to the treatment site. This is the biological signal that drives all subsequent collagen production.
🧬 03
Fibroblast activation
Fibroblasts arrive at the treatment site and begin producing new Type I and Type III collagen — the structural proteins responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, and resilience. This is why microneedling produces results that look natural: it's your body's own tissue being rebuilt.
📈 04
Collagen remodeling builds progressively
New collagen continues forming for 4–6 weeks after each treatment. Results are cumulative — each session builds on the last. Most patients see meaningful improvement after 3 sessions, with optimal results after 4–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart.
💊 05
Topical serum infusion
Immediately after treatment, the micro-channels dramatically increase the penetration depth of topical serums. We apply ZO or Plated Skin Science serum post-treatment — delivering growth factors and skin-supporting actives directly into the dermis at a fraction of the depth of an injection.
🔄 06
Long-term collagen maintenance
The new collagen laid down during your series continues maturing and remodeling for up to 12 months. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months sustain and build on your results — preventing the gradual collagen decline that continues with normal aging.
YOUR APPOINTMENT
What to expect at your microneedling appointment
💬
Complimentary Consultation — New Patients
We assess your skin type and concerns, confirm you're a good candidate for microneedling, discuss realistic expectations and the number of sessions recommended for your specific goals — before any commitment.
❄️
Topical Numbing — 20 Minutes Before
A prescription-strength topical numbing cream is applied 20 minutes before your treatment. By the time we begin, most patients feel minimal discomfort — typically described as mild pressure or warmth rather than pain.
🎯
Precise Treatment with the Exceed System
The Exceed handpiece is moved systematically across your treatment area with consistent, overlapping passes. Your esthetician adjusts depth settings for each zone — shallower around eyes and lips, deeper over thicker skin and scar tissue.
💧
Post-Treatment Serum Application
Immediately after treatment, ZO or Plated Skin Science serum is applied — taking advantage of the open micro-channels to deliver growth factors and regenerative ingredients deep into the dermis where they're most effective.
📋
Written Aftercare Instructions
You'll receive specific aftercare guidance: keep the skin clean and well-moisturized for 24–48 hours, avoid active skincare ingredients (retinol, vitamin C, acids) for 3–5 days, wear SPF 30+ daily without exception. We're available by phone if you have any concerns after your appointment.
Complimentary consultations for new patients.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
Honest answers about microneedling, the Exceed system, and what
to realistically expect.
How is the Exceed different from a regular microneedling device or dermaroller? The Exceed is a medical-grade, FDA-cleared device — not a consumer dermaroller or entry-level spa device. The differences are meaningful: the Exceed's precision motor maintains consistent needle depth across every pass (dermarollers vary with hand pressure), uses single-use sterile cartridges (eliminating infection risk), and allows precise depth adjustment for different areas of the face. The clinical outcome data behind Candela's Exceed system is published — not just marketed. The device you're treated with directly determines both your safety and your results.
How many sessions will I need? It depends on your specific concern. Fine lines and general skin quality improvement typically respond well in 3 sessions. Acne scarring generally requires 4–6 sessions for meaningful improvement. Stretch marks may require 6 or more. We'll give you a specific recommendation at your consultation based on your skin and goals. Sessions are typically spaced 4 weeks apart to allow collagen remodeling between treatments.
Is microneedling safe for acne-prone skin? Microneedling is safe for acne-prone skin when there are no active breakouts in the treatment area — and it's one of the most effective treatments available for the scarring that acne leaves behind. We do not treat over active pimples, cysts, or inflamed lesions. If you have active acne alongside acne scarring, we'll discuss a plan that addresses both — often in coordination with a medical-grade skincare regimen to control breakouts before and during your microneedling series.
Does microneedling hurt? With the topical numbing cream we apply 20 minutes before treatment, most patients describe microneedling as mild pressure or warmth — not pain. The forehead and bony areas like the nose may be slightly more sensitive. The boney parts of the face (forehead, nose bridge) are a bit more sensitive than the cheeks. Most patients are surprised by how tolerable the experience is compared to what they expected.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments? Yes — and the results are often better when combined strategically. Microneedling and laser rejuvenation are an excellent pairing — laser works from the outside in while microneedling works from the inside out, addressing skin at different depths and through different mechanisms. Professional facials and medical-grade home care (ZO, Plated) maintain skin health between microneedling sessions and extend your results. We'll help you sequence treatments correctly so they work together rather than against each other.
Do you serve patients from Lawrence, KS? Absolutely. We regularly see patients from Lawrence, Tonganoxie, De Soto, Linwood, Basehor, Baldwin City, and across the Kansas City metro. Our clinic at 715 Main St, Eudora is approximately 10 minutes from Lawrence with easy street parking. Complimentary consultations available for all new patients.
