Microneedling is a minimally invasive facial treatment that encourages the natural rejuvenation and anti-aging processes of your skin while injecting serum to encourage collagen and elastin growth.
The advanced surgical device used ensures precise punctures with the necessary depth and speed needed to target collagen growth in specific areas of the face.
Microneedling is used to treat the appearance of:
- Acne scars
- Age spots
- Large pores
- Minor scars
- Stretch marks
- Burns
- Freckles
Microneedling is best used on those with healthy skin and no current acne. The tiny, sterile needles puncture the skin repeatedly, triggering a healing response. Patients may return to activities the next day. Redness is the most common side effect. Dryness, stinging, and tingling are also reported.
Results peak around 4-6 months, with the newly built collagen lasting for years. Most patients come back every few months for microneedling sessions.

FAQs
What is microneedling?
Microneedling involves the use of a skin needling device that creates microchannels in the skin. During microneedling, old scar tissue is broken down, and skin cells regenerate.
Who is a good candidate for microneedling?
Microneedling is safe for all types and colors of skin.
What results can I expect after microneedling?
After a microneedling treatment, most patients notice that their skin has improved. The skin undergoes several visible changes over several days and weeks. Due to the continued production of collagen, results can improve for up to six months following a microneedling treatment.
How many microneedling treatments will I need?
A single treatment may be enough for some patients to achieve optimal results. Patients require three or four treatments separated by four to six weeks in most cases. Patients with deep wrinkles, photoaging, stretch marks, or acne scars should receive six to eight sessions.
