Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. Using a specialized device with fine sterile needles, thousands of controlled microchannels are created in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural healing response, resulting in smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin over time.

Microneedling has become one of the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments because it effectively improves texture, scars, fine lines, and overall skin quality with minimal downtime.

The treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and other areas of the body where skin rejuvenation is desired.

Microneedling can improve a variety of common skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Surgical scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Mild skin laxity
  • Sun damage
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Stretch marks
  • Dull or aging skin

Because microneedling stimulates collagen production, improvements continue to develop for weeks and months after treatment.

Microneedling is appropriate for most healthy adults seeking improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall skin quality.

It is particularly beneficial for patients who want meaningful skin rejuvenation without the downtime associated with more aggressive resurfacing procedures.

Patients with active infections, certain inflammatory skin conditions, or specific medical concerns may need to postpone treatment until their skin has healed.

Your provider will determine whether microneedling is appropriate for your skin during your consultation.

Your skin will first be cleansed and prepared. A topical numbing cream is typically applied to maximize comfort.

Once the skin is numb, the microneedling device is passed across the treatment area, creating controlled microchannels within the skin. The depth of treatment can be adjusted depending on the area being treated and your specific concerns.

Most patients describe the treatment as very tolerable, with only mild pressure or vibration sensations.

Following treatment, your skin may appear pink or red, similar to a mild sunburn.

Most redness resolves within 24 to 72 hours, although some patients experience mild dryness or flaking for several days.

During the healing process, collagen production increases and the skin begins to remodel itself from within. Improvements develop gradually over the following weeks.

Patients often notice:

• Smoother skin texture
  • Improved skin tone
  • Smaller-appearing pores
  • Softer acne scars
  • Brighter, healthier-looking skin

While many patients notice improvement after a single treatment, a series of three to six sessions is typically recommended for optimal results.

Treatments are usually performed four to six weeks apart to allow adequate collagen remodeling between sessions.

Patients with acne scarring, stretch marks, or more significant skin concerns often benefit from additional treatments.

Yes. Microneedling works exceptionally well when combined with other skin rejuvenation treatments.

One of our favorite combinations is microneedling followed by PRX Derm Perfexion. The microchannels created during microneedling can enhance product absorption while PRX further stimulates collagen production and skin renewal.

Your provider may recommend combining treatments to achieve your specific goals more efficiently.
