Microneedling vs Microcoring: What's the Difference
People ask me about microneedling vs microcoring in the same breath, as if they are two names for the same thing. They are not. Both involve tiny controlled injuries to…
I do microneedling, dermopigmentazione, and the skin work that sits alongside them, treatments aimed at texture, tone, scarring, and the small things that add up over time. Before we start, I tell you exactly what I'm doing, how deep I'm going, and why. No vague promises. If a treatment isn't right for your skin or your timeline, I'll say so.

Downtime is real and I won't downplay it. Microneedling usually means a day or two of redness, sometimes a little longer depending on depth. Dermopigmentazione settles over roughly a week, with the color softening noticeably after the first few days. Actual results, the smoother texture, the more even tone, show up over weeks, not overnight. I'd rather you plan around that honestly than be surprised the morning of a wedding or a flight.
| Visible downtime | When results show | |
|---|---|---|
| Microneedling | A day or two of redness, sometimes a little longer | Over weeks, not overnight |
| Dermopigmentazione | Settles over roughly a week | Colour softens after the first few days, then holds |
Every appointment is with me. I trained at TEOREMA CENTRO STUDI - CINQUESSE in Tuscany, and I've been doing this work for three years between Beverly Hills and Forte dei Marmi. You won't be handed to an assistant or a junior tech after you book. You book with Teresa, Teresa does the work, from the first needle to the follow-up.

It's always Teresa, never a rotating technician.
Trained at TEOREMA CENTRO STUDI - CINQUESSE, Tuscany.
Based in Beverly Hills year-round, and Forte dei Marmi June through September.
International bookings for weddings and photoshoots, by inquiry.
You reach out directly. I answer. Every booking is with me, Teresa, never an assistant, never a rotating technician.
I look at your skin under proper light, ask about your routine, medications, and what's been bothering you. No rushed intake form.
I tell you what I'd actually do, what it will look like after, and how much downtime to expect around work or events.
You get the number upfront. No pressure, no upsell. If it's not right for you, I'll say so.
I do the work myself, using techniques I trained in at Teorema Centro Studi - Cinquesse in Tuscany. Same hands, start to finish.
I explain what to use, what to avoid, and what's normal in the days after. You can message me directly with questions.
We check in on how your skin responded and decide together whether to repeat, adjust, or space things out.

Most people who message me asking "what is dermopigmentazione" have already fallen down a Google hole and come out more confused than when they started. Some of my clients are…
A facial with me is a hands-on treatment tailored to what your skin actually needs that day, cleansing, exfoliation, extractions if needed, targeted serums, massage, and a mask. You'll leave looking fresh and lit-up, not red or raw, and there's no real downtime, you can go back to work or dinner the same day. Every appointment is with me, start to finish, never handed off to an assistant.
Pricing depends on what your skin actually needs, a straightforward facial isn't the same appointment as microneedling or a peel, so I quote after we talk. Reach out with a bit about your skin and what you're hoping to change, and I'll send you real numbers before you commit to anything. You'll be booking directly with me, and I'm the one doing the treatment.
Most of my facials run 60 to 90 minutes, depending on what your skin needs that day. You'll be with me the whole time, I don't hand off to an assistant, so the pace stays consistent from consult to finish.
