Microneedling With Laser Skin Tightening in Tigard & Portland Metro

Microneedling With Laser Skin Tightening is a two-step, medical-grade rejuvenation treatment that improves your skin’s texture and firmness at the same time.

At Full Potential HRT Clinic, this treatment pairs:

• Microneedling — creating controlled micro-channels that stimulate collagen and elastin

• ND:YAG Laser Skin Tightening — gently heating the deeper dermal layers to contract and remodel collagen

Microneedling refines texture, improves tone, smooths pores, and increases collagen at the surface.
Laser tightening firms the deeper layers, enhances elasticity, and subtly lifts the jawline and neck.

Together, they deliver smoother, firmer, more radiant, more youthful-looking skin — with little to no downtime.

For many patients, absolutely yes. When paired together, microneedling and laser tightening provide synergistic results that neither treatment can fully achieve alone.

The combination can:

• improve mild to moderate laxity

• refine texture and minimize pores

• soften fine lines and early wrinkles

• brighten dull or uneven skin

• enhance jawline definition

• accelerate collagen remodeling

• reduce the total number of sessions needed

Microneedling prepares the skin and triggers collagen at the surface.
Laser tightening works deeper in the dermis to improve firmness and elasticity.

This “double-layer” collagen activation produces noticeably stronger, longer-lasting results.

The GentleMax Pro ND:YAG laser delivers a 1064 nm wavelength — a deep-penetrating form of energy that heats collagen-rich tissue while keeping the skin’s surface safely cooled.

In the combination treatment, ND:YAG laser:

• targets deeper collagen networks

• contracts existing collagen fibers

• stimulates long-term collagen and elastin production

• improves circulation and tissue metabolism

Microneedling increases the upper-layer collagen response, while the laser strengthens the deeper foundation — creating a layered, comprehensive tightening and smoothing effect.

Microneedling enhances laser tightening in several key ways:

• stimulates collagen and elastin in the upper dermis

• improves texture, tone, and pore visibility

• increases cellular turnover

• supports better circulation

• primes the skin for deeper rejuvenation

• smooths the surface while the laser tightens deeper layers

Laser tightening alone cannot achieve microneedling’s textural smoothing, and microneedling alone cannot match laser tightening’s deeper firming.

That’s why the combination is stronger than either treatment by itself.

Most patients experience:

• mild redness for 24–48 hours

• slight warmth or tightness

• temporary dryness or flakiness

• minimal to no swelling

Makeup can typically be worn the next day.
Microneedling adds a bit more initial redness; the laser adds minimal downtime.

Most people return to work the same day or the next morning.

We provide clear aftercare instructions to support smooth healing and protect your results.

Yes — when performed with an ND:YAG laser, this combination is safe for a wide range of skin tones and types.

The ND:YAG wavelength:

• penetrates deeper than pigment

• carries lower risk of pigment changes than many lasers

• is considered one of the safest technologies for diverse skin tones

Microneedling is also safe for most skin types when performed correctly.
Your settings, needle depth, and laser parameters will be personalized for your skin tone and goals.

Often, yes — especially because laser skin tightening is non-invasive and does not break the skin.

When microneedling is added, we evaluate:

• how well-controlled your blood sugar is

• your wound-healing history

• medications that affect immunity or clotting

Controlled diabetes usually does not prevent treatment.
We review your medical history and coordinate with your provider if needed to ensure this combination is safe for you.

Most patients see meaningful improvement with 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Microneedling jumpstarts collagen at the surface.
Laser tightening stimulates deeper collagen.

With each treatment, collagen continues to rebuild and strengthen, producing progressive and long-lasting improvement.

During your consultation, we’ll recommend the ideal plan based on your:

• age

• degree of laxity

• skincare habits

• desired results

• timeline

Results develop gradually over several weeks as collagen rebuilds — and continue improving for up to 12 weeks after each session.

With a full series and consistent skincare/sun protection:

• surface smoothing from microneedling

• and deeper tightening from laser

…often last many months, and sometimes a year or more.

Many patients choose maintenance treatments every 6–12 months to keep collagen levels strong and slow visible aging.

Yes — Tina, our Aesthetics Concierge, is your first point of contact.

She will:

• learn your goals

• answer questions

• help you decide whether microneedling, laser tightening, PRP, or a combination is best

Then she’ll schedule a treatment or a more detailed consultation with Jen, our Certified Advanced Esthetician.

Microneedling with Laser Skin Tightening helps:

• smooth fine lines

• refine pores

• improve texture and tone

• brighten dull or uneven skin

• firm mildly lax or crepey areas

• enhance jawline definition

• soften early wrinkles

• support healthy collagen long-term

Microneedling works at the surface; the laser works deeper — giving your skin a multi-layered rejuvenation from within.

Yes — this combination is especially effective for:

• early jowls

• lower-face softening

• jawline definition

• crepey neck skin

• texture issues on the cheeks

• uneven tone

• enlarged pores

• fine lines

It provides subtle lifting, firmness, and smoother texture — without injectables or surgery.

This treatment is generally very safe.
Temporary effects may include:

• redness (24–48 hours)

• mild warmth or tightness

• slight dryness or flaking as the skin renews

Serious side effects are rare when performed with proper technique and medical-grade equipment.

At our clinic, we use controlled settings, gentle protocols, and clear aftercare to minimize risk and support a smooth, predictable recovery.

Most patients start in their:

• late 20s to early 30s for prevention and early correction

• 30s to 50s for visible texture changes and mild to moderate laxity

• 60s and 70s for firmer, smoother, fresher-looking skin

Collagen can be stimulated at almost any age.
The right time to start is when you want smoother, firmer, healthier skin — naturally.

Microneedling With Laser Skin Tightening can be performed year-round.

Many patients prefer fall or winter because:

• UV exposure is lower

• redness is easier to manage indoors

But with good sun protection (SPF, hats, avoiding midday sun), this combination is safe and effective in every season — including spring and summer.

Yes — this combination is excellent for mature skin because microneedling improves surface texture while the laser tightens deeper structures.

Patients with:

• thinning or crepey skin

• jawline softening

• age-related dullness

• enlarged pores

• etched-in fine lines

…often see meaningful improvement with a treatment series.

It’s a natural, gentle way to support smoother, firmer, more radiant skin at nearly any age.

Most patients find the treatment very tolerable.

You may feel:

• vibration or prickling during microneedling

• warmth or pulsing during laser tightening

With numbing cream, cooling, and gentle technique, patients routinely tell us the treatment was far more comfortable than they expected.

Any warmth or redness afterward typically fades within a few hours.
