Microneedling
(Candela Exceed, Pixel8)
What It Is
Microneedling is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production to repair and renew your skin from within.
At Introspect Wellness in Keene, NH, we offer two advanced microneedling treatments tailored to your unique skin needs: Candela Exceed™ for precise, traditional microneedling that renews and revitalizes, and Pixel8 RF – a next-generation treatment combining microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy for enhanced tightening and rejuvenation.
what it treats
Candela Exceed™
- Fine lines and wrinkles.
- Acne scars and other types of scarring.
- Uneven skin texture or tone.
- Enlarged pores.
Pixel8 RF
- Skin laxity on the face, neck, and body.
- Deep wrinkles and creases.
- Sagging skin along the jawline.
- Stretch marks and other textural concerns.
How it works
Candela Exceed™ Microneedling
This traditional microneedling device uses precise, ultra-fine needles to create tiny channels on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
Pixel8 RF Microneedling
The Pixel8 RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, delivering heat to the deeper layers of the skin for enhanced tightening and lifting. The RF energy stimulates even greater collagen production, making it ideal for more advanced skin concerns like laxity and deeper wrinkles.
Both treatments are minimally invasive, performed in-office, and customizable to your unique skin type and goals.

What to expect
Your Consultation
Every journey begins with a personalized consultation. We’ll assess your skin concerns and recommend the microneedling treatment—Candela Exceed™ or Pixel8 RF—that best matches your goals.
The Procedure
Microneedling treatments typically take 30-60 minutes, depending on the area treated. A numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure your comfort. During the procedure, you may feel light pressure or a warming sensation (with Pixel8 RF), but most clients find it very tolerable.
Recovery and Results
After the treatment, you may experience mild redness and swelling, similar to a light sunburn, which resolves within 24-48 hours. Over the following weeks, your skin will continue to improve as collagen and elastin production increases, revealing smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.
