Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that uses dozens of ultra-thin needles to treat and improve conditions like fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, loose skin, skin texture, brown spots, pore size, stretch marks, and pigment issues. Microneedling is also known by a few other names, including percutaneous collagen induction (PCI), and more commonly, collagen induction therapy (CIT).
The procedure is fit for almost everyone, except those who have any active infections, lesions, or any known wound healing problems. The desire for firmer, tighter and younger-looking skin dates as far back as ancient times, and the methods developed for achieving this desire have significantly changed over the years. In modern medicine, there are innumerable skincare treatments, products, and therapies that promise healthier, younger skin, however, many fall short of this and fail to deliver on their promises. One of the most trusted skincare treatments that delivers the results it promises is microneedling. Microneedling is used on the face and may treat wrinkles, scars, and large pores.
Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream may be applied to ensure your comfort. Then, a small handheld device with fine needles is gently glided over the treatment area, creating micro-channels in the skin. This process stimulates collagen production and allows for better absorption of topical serums.
The procedure is convenient: the total time all in is about two hours, and you will need to see an experienced medical professional for the procedure. You also may need to have at least four procedures for best results.
Microneedling has many health benefits for the skin, such as:
One of the biggest benefits of microneedling is that it minimizes wrinkles and fine lines, one of the most associated symptoms of aging.
Microneedling also helps minimize scarring, producing a more even skin tone and texture.
Although the sun can benefit our skin, it can be damaging in large amounts. Thankfully, microneedling can help reverse this damage.
By combatting fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage, microneedling produces anti-aging effects that can be enjoyed by people of all skin types.
Although microneedling creates tiny punctures in the skin, it does not increase pore size; in fact, it actually reduces pore size, which helps to provide a more even skin texture.
Microneedling also reduces the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating the production of collagen.
Lasers and chemical peels can produce great results. However, they often come with longer recovery periods and potential side effects. Microneedling, on the other hand, comes with minimal risk of complications or side effects and does not require downtime to recover.
Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for most skin types. However, it's essential to consult with our medical professionals to determine if microneedling is right for you. Individuals with certain skin conditions, such as active acne or infections, may not be suitable candidates.
Most patients experience minimal downtime after microneedling. You may have some redness and mild swelling for a few days, similar to a sunburn. Our providers will give you detailed post-treatment instructions to ensure a comfortable recovery.
You may notice some initial improvement in your skin's texture and tone within a few days of treatment. However, the full effects of microneedling become more apparent over the following weeks and months as collagen production increases. Results can last for several months, depending on individual factors and lifestyle.
If you take care of your skin, then you should expect to see results last for a longer period of time. Most people enjoy results for up to 12 weeks. If you want to extend your results, follow these tips: drink lots of water; get plenty of vitamins A, C, D, E, and all the B vitamins; don’t smoke, reduce your alcohol intake, and eat a diet that does not include sugar and processed foods. The more hydrated you are and the better you eat, the healthier your skin will be. You may need up to four treatments to get the results you desire. Make sure that you speak to your doctor about microneedling to get all the details, benefits, and aftercare tips. A doctor will walk you through the procedure and inform you of everything you need to know and will answer any questions you may have.

A topical numbing cream may be applied before the procedure to minimize discomfort. You may experience a mild prickling sensation during the treatment, but most patients find it very tolerable.
Typically, treatments are spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow for adequate healing and collagen production.
Yes, microneedling is good for the face and produces many health benefits. It is a safe and effective procedure that can improve the appearance of the skin, including the reduction of wrinkles, diminishment of scarring, and tightening of loose or aging skin.
Although each patient is different and will experience different results, healing from microneedling usually takes 24 hours. However, depending on the extent of the treatment and the severity of the condition being treated, it may take up to two to three days. Immediately after the procedure, patients are free to return to work or school and can wear makeup 24 hours after receiving the treatment.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that treats skin concerns through collagen production. The treatment may also help those looking to reduce the appearance of stretch marks and acne scars. It is also used in certain anti-aging procedures, like sunspots, and eyelid surgery.
There are some small side effects that you can expect following your microneedling treatment. Your skin may be flushed or bright red, almost like you have been out in the sun all day. The redness and swelling will last about 24 hours or maybe a bit longer. Even with careful aftercare, there is not much else you can do to get rid of the redness from microneedling. But it’s all worth it in the end.
Have patience while the redness subsides. After this, you may experience skin peeling within 48 hours, and you might also get breakouts, dry skin, or bumps, but they are par for the course with microneedling. However, not everyone will experience this, so taking care of your skin with moisturizer and gentle cleansers will help reduce side effects.
Microneedling gets to work by encouraging your skin to make more collagen. The pinpricks cause some injury to the skin, but the skin responds back by making new collagen-rich tissue. The targeted areas for this procedure are acne scars, age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, reduced skin elasticity, and uneven skin tone. While it may be used to treat scarring on other body parts, it is primarily used on the face.
Most people need between three and six treatments to see the final results of microneedling, and this all depends on people’s health and goals. Two treatments are good for younger people. Overall, results depend on your body’s cellular turnover rate, age, and how you have treated your skin in the past.
