01What it is

In plain language.

Microneedling creates thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. Those micro-injuries trigger your body's natural healing response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin.

Every treatment includes the face, neck, and décolleté, and a Pure PDGF regenerative add-on is available for clients who want additional growth-factor support.

Results are gradual and cumulative, which is exactly the point — this is collagen you build, not a filler you add.

02Philosophy

Collagen you build, not volume you add.

Microneedling rewards patience. We treat in a spaced series so your skin has time to lay down new collagen between sessions, and we include the neck and décolleté because results shouldn't stop at the jawline. In this climate, sun discipline between treatments matters as much as the treatment itself.

03Expertise

Controlled precision in a calm setting

Microneedling is performed in a quiet, private treatment room with careful attention to depth, area, and comfort. We plan a spaced series so your skin has time to build collagen between visits, and we include the face, neck, and décolleté every time because results shouldn't stop at the jawline.

04What we treat

Concerns this addresses.

01

Fine lines and crepey texture

02

Acne scarring

03

Enlarged-looking pores

04

Uneven tone and texture

05

Loss of firmness

06

Neck and décolleté crepiness

05Benefits

What you'll notice.

01
Your own collagen

Improvement comes from your body's healing response rather than anything added to the skin.

02
Texture and tone together

Smoother texture and more even tone develop over the same series.

03
Scar softening

Acne scarring responds well to a spaced series of treatments.

04
Full treatment area

Face, neck, and décolleté are included so results don't stop at the jawline.

05
Regenerative option

A Pure PDGF add-on is available when you want extra support for healing and results.

06How it works

What to expect, step by step.

01
Consultation

We evaluate your skin and discuss your goals.

02
Preparation

Your skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.

03
Treatment

A medical microneedling device creates precise micro-channels across the treatment area.

04
Recovery

Your skin may appear pink, similar to a mild sunburn, for one to three days as collagen production begins.

07Our approach

How we use microneedling.

01
A series, not a single visit

Most clients plan three treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.

02
Face, neck, and décolleté

Included every time, because texture rarely stops at the chin.

03
Depth matched to the area

Settings change between forehead, cheeks, and neck for safety and comfort.

04
Planned around sun exposure

We schedule around your beach days, not the other way around.

08Products we use

Microneedling at Nō Ka ʻOi.

We recommend a specific product or protocol only after seeing your skin, history, and goals in person.

01
SkinPen-style microneedling

Controlled-depth micro-channels adjusted by area and concern.

02
Pure PDGF add-on

A regenerative growth-factor option to support healing and results.

03
Plated

04
Mineral SPF 30+

Non-negotiable after treatment — we'll make sure you leave with the right one.

09Who it's right for

Are you a candidate?

Results develop gradually as your body produces new collagen. Most clients notice smoother texture, improved radiance, and healthier-looking skin over the weeks following treatment, with continued improvement after a series of sessions.

01

You want healthier, firmer skin

02

You have fine lines or uneven texture

03

You want to improve acne scars

04

You're looking for natural collagen stimulation

05

You prefer gradual, natural-looking improvement

On a Maui vacation

Better after you return home

Generally better after returning home — skin needs several days out of direct sun and ocean water.

  • Expect redness for 24–48 hours and flaking for a few days afterward.
  • Direct sun, ocean water, pools, and hot tubs should be avoided for several days.
  • If you are set on treating while here, book early in your stay and plan shaded days.
  • Best results come from a series, so many guests start at home or on a return visit.
10Investment

Clear, honest pricing.

A single microneedling treatment with Pure PDGF starts at $600. Because collagen builds over a series, most clients choose the package of three, starting at $1,700 — the option we recommend.

Every price shown is a starting price. Your provider confirms your total before treatment.

11Aftercare

Caring for your results.

Immediately after
  • Expect warmth and redness similar to a mild sunburn.
  • Use only the products your provider gives or approves.
First 24 hours
  • No makeup, no exercise, no sweating.
  • Cleanse gently with lukewarm water.
Days 3–14
  • Light flaking is normal — don't pick.
  • Reintroduce actives once your skin is calm, usually around day five.
Maui-specific notes
  • Strict sun avoidance for at least a week — this is non-negotiable in Maui sun.
  • No ocean, pool, or hot tub for 48–72 hours.
  • Mineral SPF 30+ daily, reapplied through the day.
12Before your visit

How to prepare.

01

Stop retinoids and exfoliating acids for 5–7 days.

02

Arrive without makeup for numbing.

03

Avoid sun exposure and reschedule if you're sunburned.

04

Plan around events — allow at least two weeks of healing.

05

Tell us about any history of cold sores so we can pre-treat.

14People also ask

Questions people ask about Microneedling.

The questions we hear most before booking Microneedling — answered in full, with links to the treatment details, definitions and guides behind each answer.

Can I go to the beach after treatment?

After a HydraFacial, IV nutrient therapy, wellness injections or Dysport, yes — the same day, with broad-spectrum mineral SPF 30 or higher and a hat during peak hours. Rinse salt water off afterward and keep skin moisturized.

After microneedling, wait. Stay out of direct sun and out of the ocean and pools for at least three to five days, until the skin barrier has fully closed. After a spray tan, wait about eight hours before swimming so the color can finish developing.

Should I schedule before I arrive or after I return home?

Book same-day treatments here and save recovery treatments for home. HydraFacial, IV nutrient therapy, wellness injections and spray tan are ideal during your stay; microneedling and medical weight loss are usually better started at home, where you can stay out of sun and ocean water or keep regular follow-up.

Dysport sits in the middle. It needs about two weeks to fully settle, so treat it before you travel if you have a Maui event, or early in a longer stay.

How long should I wait before swimming?

After a HydraFacial you can swim the same day, though we suggest waiting a few hours and rinsing afterward. After Dysport, wait until the following day. After a spray tan, wait about eight hours so the color finishes developing.

After microneedling, wait three to five days before ocean or pool water. Open micro-channels and untreated water are a poor combination, and chlorine and salt will both sting freshly treated skin.

Which treatments are best before a wedding?

A HydraFacial three to seven days before the wedding is the single best pre-event treatment, with IV nutrient therapy the day before for travel and late-night fatigue, and a spray tan one to two days out if you want warmth without sun.

Anything that builds — a microneedling series, medical-grade skincare, neuromodulators — belongs three or more months ahead, so dosing can be refined and results are fully settled by the day.

What should I avoid immediately before an event?

Avoid anything new, aggressive or unfamiliar in the final two weeks. That means no first-time injectables, no resurfacing or microneedling, no strong new actives such as retinoids or acids, and no waxing on the same day as a facial.

In the last 24 to 48 hours, skip alcohol and high-sodium meals so you are not puffy in photographs, keep sun exposure moderate, and stay hydrated. Familiar treatments you have had before — a HydraFacial, an IV — are the safe choices this close in.

Will I still look like myself?

Yes. Every plan here is built to keep you recognizable — conservative dosing, gradual change, and a review before we add anything. People should notice you, not your treatments.

With neuromodulators specifically, we treat lightly at a first visit and refine at a two-week follow-up rather than starting high. That is slower, and it is the reason our results read as rested rather than done.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling uses a medical device to create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. That controlled injury triggers your own healing response, which builds new collagen and elastin over the following weeks.

It is used for texture, enlarged pores, acne scarring, fine lines and overall firmness. Skin looks pink for one to three days afterward, results build gradually, and a series of three is the recommended course — which is why it is better scheduled at home than mid-vacation.

Who performs treatments at Nō Ka ʻOi Aesthetics?

All injectable and medical treatments are performed by Stefanie Roberts, ARNP, founder and medical director of Nō Ka ʻOi Aesthetics. HydraFacial and skin treatments are performed by our licensed aestheticians, Stephanie Evans and Keala Lono, under the same medical oversight.

This is a medical practice in a boutique setting, not a resort spa menu — one clinician plans your care, and the same team sees you at follow-up.

Should I have microneedling or a HydraFacial?

Choose a HydraFacial for immediate glow, hydration and congestion, with no downtime. Choose microneedling to change the skin structurally — texture, scarring, pore size and firmness — over a series of treatments.

They are not competitors: most long-term plans use both, alternating HydraFacial for maintenance with a microneedling series once or twice a year. If you are on vacation, have the HydraFacial now and plan microneedling for home.
