Is microneedling right for you?
Not every skin condition should be treated the same way. Kori evaluates your skin, concerns, and treatment history before recommending microneedling or the Signature Microneedling Trifecta.
Microneedling Is Only as Good as the Coverage and Technique Behind It
Microneedling is not just about passing a device over the skin. Where the skin is treated, how thoroughly it is treated, and how the technique is adjusted for different areas of the face all matter.
Complete Coverage Does Not Mean One-Size-Fits-All Treatment
Professional microneedling techniques are designed to create a consistent treatment pattern across the areas being treated. At Athame Aesthetics, Kori takes a deliberate full-face approach while adjusting her technique for the different areas of your skin.
Delicate areas around the eyes, nose, brow bone, lip line, and other commonly overlooked areas may require a different approach than thicker areas of the face. Full coverage does not mean using the same depth or intensity everywhere. It means carefully treating the appropriate areas while adapting the technique to the skin in front of her.
The goal is a more complete and consistent treatment pattern so the areas you want to improve actually receive the microneedling stimulus that supports the skin’s natural renewal and collagen remodeling process.
The Athame Difference
Full Coverage. Customized Technique. No Rushing Through the Face.
Kori has spent years refining her microneedling approach and teaches the techniques she uses in her own treatment room. Her focus is not simply completing a microneedling appointment. It is understanding where and how the skin should be treated and adapting the treatment to each client’s skin condition, concerns, and tolerance.
- Intentional coverage of the appropriate facial treatment areas
- Technique adjusted for delicate and thicker areas of the skin
- Attention to commonly missed areas when appropriate
- Skin-specific treatment depth and strategy
- Consistent treatment coverage rather than isolated spot treatment
- Customized enhancing booster selected after evaluating your skin
- Healing mask and red light therapy included with treatment
- Professional home-care guidance to support recovery
Why Consistent Treatment Coverage Matters
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and collagen production. As collagen remodeling takes place, treated skin may appear smoother, firmer, plumper, and in some cases subtly lifted. Because this response occurs in the skin that is actually treated, thoughtful and consistent coverage is an important part of Kori’s approach.
Treatment Does Not End When Microneedling Stops
Microneedling temporarily changes the skin barrier and creates microchannels in the treated skin. That is one reason Kori is intentional about the products and aftercare used around your treatment.
Rather than treating only scattered areas, Kori focuses on a complete treatment pattern so your recovery and post-treatment care are supporting the areas that were intentionally treated. Every microneedling service includes a skin-specific enhancing booster, healing mask, red light therapy, and take-home aftercare guidance.
Microneedling vs. Signature Microneedling Trifecta
Both treatments are customized after Kori evaluates your skin. The main difference is that the Signature Microneedling Trifecta adds a skin-specific chemical peel for an additional level of exfoliation and correction.
Advanced Microneedling
A high-quality, customized microneedling treatment designed around your skin’s individual needs and concerns. Kori personally evaluates your skin and selects an enhancing booster based on what your skin needs most.
Your treatment includes:
- Customized microneedling treatment
- Skin-specific enhancing booster selected by Kori
- Soothing healing mask
- Red light therapy
- Take-home aftercare kit
This is a strong option for clients looking to improve the appearance of texture, acne scarring, fine lines, uneven tone, and overall skin quality.
Kori’s Signature Treatment
Signature Microneedling Trifecta
The Trifecta builds on the microneedling treatment by adding a customized chemical peel for a deeper level of exfoliation and a more intensive approach to common skin concerns.
Kori selects the chemical peel based on your skin type, current condition, treatment goals, and what your skin can safely tolerate. The Trifecta is only recommended when she determines that the combination is appropriate for your skin.
Your treatment includes:
- Customized microneedling treatment
- Skin-specific chemical peel
- Soothing healing mask
- Red light therapy
- Skin-specific enhancing booster selected by Kori
- Take-home aftercare kit
The Trifecta may be recommended for clients seeking a more comprehensive treatment for concerns such as uneven texture, acne scarring, pigmentation, visible signs of aging, and overall skin renewal.
Home Care Is Part of the Treatment
Both microneedling services include a small take-home kit with a travel-size cleanser and skin-healing balm to support the first few days after treatment. Because the kit typically lasts about three days, Kori may recommend appropriate full-size home care based on your skin and treatment plan to help support the healing process beyond those first few days.
