Skincare
Microneedling treats the quality of your skin rather than the shape of your face. It works on texture, tone, fine lines, and the kind of surface irregularity that no amount of makeup quite covers. AIR Aesthetics uses SkinPen, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device.

Everything below is what Mandy would tell you in person. Nothing is sold to you here, only explained.
Book now →SkinPen creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. Your body responds the way it responds to any small injury, by producing new collagen and elastin. The result is not a coating on top of the skin; it is the skin itself remodelling over the following weeks.
Microneedling works on skin quality rather than on any single line, which is why the change tends to be described as skin looking healthier rather than as a specific thing having been fixed.
SkinPen was the first microneedling device cleared by the FDA, with single-use sterile cartridges. That distinction matters in a category where a lot of what is marketed as microneedling is done with unregulated pens. You are being treated with a medical device by a Registered Nurse.
Expect to look flushed, similar to a sunburn, for roughly one to three days. Some clients experience mild dryness or flaking as the skin turns over. Mandy will send you home knowing exactly what to use and what to avoid, and she checks in personally during healing.
Microneedling can be combined with BioRePeel in a single visit to address collagen stimulation and surface glow at the same time. Whether that combination is right for you depends on your skin and your timeline, which is what the consultation is for.
Microneedling suits people who want a genuine change in skin quality and are willing to do it properly, which usually means a series rather than a single appointment.
Questions
Yes. AIR Aesthetics offers SkinPen microneedling at 1351 Madison Ave Ste 116 in Mankato, MN, serving Mankato, North Mankato, and St. Peter.
Microneedling is usually recommended as a series rather than a single treatment, because collagen builds gradually. Mandy will give you a realistic plan for your skin and goals at your consultation rather than a generic package.
Most clients look flushed for one to three days, similar to a sunburn, and some experience light flaking afterward. It is generally considered social downtime rather than time off.
Numbing cream is applied first and left to work before anything starts. Most clients describe a vibration and some pressure rather than pain. The appointment runs around 60 minutes, most of which is preparation.
Pricing depends on the area treated and whether you are doing a single session or a series, so it is confirmed at your consultation rather than quoted in advance. You will have an exact number before anything begins.
Sun exposure, active skincare ingredients such as retinol and vitamin C, and heavy sweating for the first few days. Mandy gives you the full aftercare at your appointment and checks in while your skin settles.
