Microneedling creates microscopic openings in the surface of the skin. It causes the tissue to develop new collagen and elastin, resulting in smoother, firmer skin. Needling is an amazing treatment that not only treats fine lines, wrinkles, laxity, pores, and pigment but also helps in the fight against aging by stimulating collagen to improve skin laxity. The treatment is completely non-surgical and requires little downtime. Needling is best done in a series and spaced 30 days apart. Once your desired results are achieved, patients can move to a “preventative maintenance routine” annually in which the skin will continually improve as time goes on.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a rejuvenating skin treatment that addresses:

  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage
  • Mild inelasticity
  • Acne scars
  • Large pores
  • Rough skin
  • Dull skin

You may hear microneedling referred to as percutaneous collagen induction, because the treatment increases collagen in your skin. Collagen is the supportive scaffolding of youthful, smooth skin. It naturally declines with age. By inducing the creation of collagen (as well as elastin), microneedling leads to smoother, plumper, firmer skin.

The Microneedling Process

Modern treatments use an automated pen-like device. It’s handheld. The head of the device contains a circular arrangement of tiny needles. The device is set to penetrate the skin at a certain depth, making the treatment highly customizable.

As the provider passes the head of rotating needles across the skin, the needles make tiny openings in the epidermis. These minuscule punctures prompt a healing response in the skin without damaging tissue.

Opening the skin’s pores for nourishing topicals:  Another benefit of microneedling is that the skin is essentially opened up via the tiny channels made, and can thereby better absorb any variety of rejuvenating topical ointments, creams and other skin products chosen by you and the provider.

How Long Does it Take to Heal from Microneedling?

Microneedling is minimally invasive, but your face will be flushed and red for about 24-48 hours after the treatment. Patients can resume most activities after 24 hours including exercise and mineral makeup and physical sunscreen.

48 hours after the treatment, it is normal to experience very light peeling or superficial dryness which lasts a short time.

Follow our post care instructions for which cleansers, moisturizers and sunscreens are best to use during the healing process. Your skin will start looking radiant and fresh after a few days, and results will continue to improve over the next couple of months as new collagen and elastin forms.
