Cirine® Hair Removal & Skin Care is where cutting-edge skincare meets exceptional service.
With our personalized approach, you can trust that your treatment will match your unique skincare needs, leading to a smoother and more radiant complexion.
Exceed™ medical microneedling is a minimally invasive skin-perfecting treatment. Very fine, sterile micro needles create tiny punctures in the skin, promoting a natural collagen healing process to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and acne scars.
Microneedling creates safe micro tears in your skin which then trigger increased cell activity and collagen production. Collagen is what gives your skin elasticity and a plump and healthy look.
The small pricks caused by the needle enhance the skin’s ability to create new tissues in the face. If you would like to reduce forehead wrinkles and tighten loose skin without Botox® cosmetic treatments, consider microneedling.
Fade acne scars or dark spots with the help of our professional microneedling treatment. It helps repair damaged skin tissue and promotes healing by stimulating the production of collagen.

$375/session
Includes sterile protocol and growth factors for superior results.

You may begin to notice results within a few weeks, but you’ll see full results within approximately three months as your collagen builds and plumps the skin. For maximum benefit, we recommend four to six treatments spaced four weeks apart.
Following the treatment series recommendation and provided post-care protocol will help you to receive the best results. Patients report experiencing brighter, more radiant complexions, and smoother skin texture, along with minimized wrinkles and scarring.
We apply topical numbing cream before the treatment, so most patients find Exceed™ microneedling to be painless and enjoyable.
A typical Exceed™ microneedling treatment will take approximately one hour, including time for numbing.
Most patients experience minimal downtime after an Exceed™ treatment. You can expect effects similar to a sunburn for one to three days, with after-effects continuing to diminish thereafter. Following the recommended post-care protocol can help reduce downtime and improve treatment results. Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds for at least 72 hours after your microneedling treatment. It’s best to apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 to the treated area the day after your treatment.
The number of microneedling treatments you’ll need depends on your individual aesthetic goals and the specific concerns you wish to address. Generally, most clients see noticeable improvements after three to six treatments. If your goals are more moderate, such as improving overall skin texture and tone, three to four sessions might be sufficient.
Space your treatments 4-6 weeks apart to achieve your desired result.
Microneedling is generally a well-tolerated procedure, but like any cosmetic treatment, it does carry some potential side effects. Most commonly, you may experience mild redness, swelling and irritation in the treated area immediately after the procedure. These side effects typically go away in a several days but may last up to two weeks. If you have any concerns or experience any prolonged symptoms, our team is here to support you and address any issues that may arise.
We recommend using a gentle cleanser to wash your face after treatment. Avoid retinol and any other topical prescriptions for five days after your treatment.
Professional microneedling devices use needles around 0.75 millimeters to 2 millimeters in length, while at-home microneedling tools are less than 0.5 millimeters in length. We do not recommend any at-home microneedling devices. Using such devices increases the risk of track-mark lines, excessive bruising, micro-tears in the skin and possible infection and scarring. You may be causing more harm than good.
Our experienced and trained providers at Cirine® understand medical microneedling and use the industry-leading FDA-cleared Candela Exceed™ device along with medical-grade, sterile and disposable needle cartridges. Another benefit of in-office medical microneedling in Chicago is our specially designed post-care protocol and access to our expertise while healing.
