Discover the Precision and Artistry of BelleSante Microneedling

At BelleSante by Kristine Romine, MD, we've refined the science of microneedling into a sophisticated art form through our signature techniques and customized protocols. Unlike standard approaches, our expert-designed treatments work strategically to activate your skin's natural regenerative abilities, stimulating collagen production to strengthen your skin's foundation while enhancing its surface appearance.

Whether you're addressing textural concerns, the early signs of aging or simply want to restore a youthful smoothness, our microneedling treatments offer advanced solutions for revealing your skin's natural radiance. With minimal downtime and progressive improvement, microneedling can help you achieve and maintain “A Lifetime of Healthy, Beautiful Skin™.”

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a rejuvenating treatment that uses ultra-fine, sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body's natural healing response while simultaneously allowing for deep delivery of therapeutic ingredients. These controlled injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production to treat a wide range of concerns from enlarged pores and acne scars to fine lines, crepiness and tone variations that impact your skin’s overall radiance.

At BelleSante, our microneedling treatments are meticulously calibrated to your skin's unique architecture and concerns. Our experts adjust needle depth and treatment pattern based on your skin’s needs, and apply specialized glide solutions for optimal results, including:

Hyaluronic Acid Glide: Delivers intensive hydration deep within the skin, instantly plumping fine lines while supporting long-term moisture balance. This specialized solution enhances your skin's natural volume and suppleness for both immediate and ongoing improvement.
Growth Factor Glide: Accelerates cellular renewal and tissue regeneration by delivering concentrated growth factors precisely where they're needed most. This advanced formulation supports comprehensive skin healing while enhancing collagen and elastin production for improved texture and elasticity.
Sculptra Glide: Provides optimal collagen and elastin stimulation as part of our exclusive BelleSante Radiant Refresh XO treatment. This specialized biostimulator works progressively to strengthen your skin's structural matrix from within, creating natural-looking improvement that develops over time.

For enhanced healing and superior aesthetic outcomes, we incorporate advanced regenerative elements like exosomes from day-zero stem cells, growth factors, peptides and “personalized secretome” during treatment and in your post-care regimen. These cutting-edge additions further boost skin recovery and optimization, taking your results to the next level.

The Benefits of BelleSante Microneedling

Patients who experience our optimized microneedling treatments enjoy transformative benefits that continue to develop long after they leave our office. These specialized treatments deliver:

Significant improvement in skin texture and smoothness
Enhanced collagen and elastin production for natural firmness
Reduced appearance of fine lines, crepiness and the early signs of aging
Diminished appearance of acne scarring and other textural irregularities
Improved skin tone uniformity
Enhanced penetration and effectiveness of your personalized KRMD Advanced Medical Skin Care regimen
Strengthened skin barrier function
Overall skin rejuvenation and resilience

The progressive nature of microneedling means your results continue to improve as new collagen and elastin develop over the weeks and months following treatment. While visible enhancements appear after a single session, optimal transformation typically involves a carefully planned series of treatments, with each session building upon the previous ones.

Your Treatment Experience at BelleSante

At BelleSante, your microneedling journey begins with a comprehensive consultation with Kristine Romine, MD or Sara Romine, DNP, FNP-C. During this initial assessment, we'll carefully evaluate your concerns, discuss your aesthetic goals and develop a customized treatment approach designed specifically for your skin's unique needs.

On the day of your treatment, we begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin and applying a professional-grade numbing cream to ensure a comfortable experience. While the numbing takes effect, we'll review your treatment plan and answer any questions you may have.

Once you're comfortable, our experts will precisely guide the microneedling device across the skin with deliberate, artful movements, varying treatment depth as appropriate for different areas. This customized approach allows us to address specific concerns while respecting your skin's natural structure. Throughout the procedure, we'll apply your selected therapeutic glide solution, allowing it to penetrate deeply through the microchannels created during treatment.

Most patients describe the sensation of microneedling as a mild prickling that is well-tolerated with our topical numbing protocol. The entire procedure typically takes 45-60 minutes to complete, depending on the treatment areas and specific concerns being addressed.

Recovery & Results

Following your BelleSante microneedling treatment, you may experience mild redness and sensitivity similar to a sunburn, typically resolving within 24-48 hours. Your skin may feel slightly rough or dry during the initial healing phase as cellular renewal processes accelerate.

Our experts will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and personalized KRMD Advanced Medical Skin Care products designed to complement your treatment and enhance your results. These carefully formulated solutions support optimal healing while maximizing the regenerative benefits of your procedure.

Most patients notice an immediate improvement in skin texture and radiance, with results that continue to develop as collagen and elastin production increase over the following weeks. Though visible changes appear after a single treatment, we typically recommend a series of three to six “Getting Fit” sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, followed by yearly “Maintenance of Fitness” sessions to maintain the smooth, refreshed-looking skin you desire.

Elevate Your Results With Our BelleSante Radiant Refresh XO

Experience the pinnacle of skin rejuvenation with our exclusive BelleSante Radiant Refresh XO treatment. Our signature protocol combines the benefits of our advanced microneedling techniques with bio-stimulating Sculptra and exosomes derived from day-zero stem cells. Unlike standard microneedling, our Radiant Refresh XO works on multiple levels, simultaneously strengthening your skin's structural matrix while enhancing surface texture and tone. Dr. Romine has meticulously developed this innovative approach after years of clinical expertise, creating a treatment that delivers both immediate refreshment and progressive improvement that continues to develop over months. Many patients describe this as their "secret weapon" for maintaining youthful, resilient and radiant skin.

The BelleSante Difference

At BelleSante, we understand that meaningful skin transformation requires more than one-size-fits-all procedures. That’s why our approach to microneedling creatively combines personalized techniques developed through years of clinical expertise with advanced glide solutions, biostimulators, exosomes and growth factors designed to stimulate your skin’s innate regenerative capabilities.

Rather than following standard microneedling protocols, Kristine Romine, MD, and Sara Romine, DNP, FNP-C, thoughtfully customize each procedure based on your needs, concerns and goals. Our artistic approach considers how different areas of the face respond to treatment, stimulating collagen production where it’s needed most to help you achieve optimal results.

The BelleSante Difference

Many providers take an overly simplistic approach to neuromodulator treatments, focusing on individual lines without considering the whole picture. This can lead to results that are unnatural or unflattering for a patient’s specific features.

At BelleSante by Kristine Romine, MD, we consider how each facial feature and muscle group works together to create your unique expressions. Dr. Romine and Sara Romine, DNP, FNP-C, carefully observe your natural facial movements and create an injection map specific to your anatomy. We often integrate neuromodulators into our Exclusive Treatments, like The BelleSante Skin Gym, to deliver comprehensive rejuvenation that maximizes the health and beauty of your skin.

Balance and proportion guide our injection philosophy. Instead of over-treating certain areas, we distribute neuromodulators thoughtfully to create symmetry and harmony throughout your face, neck and even beyond. Dr. Romine’s signature micro-droplet technique delivers exceptionally natural results, so you'll leave BelleSante looking like you, only better.

Your Transformation Awaits

Experience the perfect balance of science and artistry at BelleSante. Our experts deliver precisely calibrated microneedling treatments that stimulate your skin's natural regenerative abilities, revealing smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin with each session.
