Microneedling is a non-surgical aesthetic treatment designed to reduce skin imperfections by stimulating new collagen and skin cell growth, improving elasticity, reducing scar tissue, and creating a more even complexion. It can be an ideal solution for acne scars and anti-aging care, delivering smoother, younger-looking skin without the side effects, downtime, or expense of more invasive treatments. Suitable for various skin types and concerns, our aesthetic services team may recommend combining microneedling with other treatments—such as BOTOX^{^®} Cosmetic injections or exosome therapy—to help you reach your beauty goals.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a safe, non-chemical procedure that uses a handheld device with tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin. These small punctures stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, firmer skin and improvements in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and stretch marks over time. The overall result is healthier, more youthful looking skin.
While commonly used on the face, microneedling can be applied to other areas like the neck, arms, legs, back, and abdomen. A typical session lasts about 30 minutes, with mild redness afterward that fades within a few days. Collagen production occurs gradually, resulting in long-term skin improvements, not instant results.

What Concerns Can Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling can help address a number of common skin concerns, including:

Scarring, including acne scars
Stretch Marks
Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Enlarged Pores
Uneven skin texture, Complexion and Discoloration
Hair Loss

Addressing Aging Skin With Microneedling

As we age, our skin naturally loses its elasticity and firmness due to a decline in fibroblast cells, which are essential for producing collagen, the protein responsible for keeping our skin strong and supple. This can lead to the development of wrinkles, sagging, and a dull complexion. While we can’t stop the aging process, microneedling offers an effective way to slow it down. Our aim is to help everyone maintain a healthier, more vibrant appearance and feel confident at every age.

How Many Microneedling Treatments Will I Need?

The number of microneedling sessions needed varies based on the desired outcome and the area being treated. Most patients require four to eight treatment sessions to achieve optimal results. Sessions are spaced four to six weeks apart to promote optimal skin health and to maximize collagen induction. Our providers can also recommend specific skin care products to help complement treatment outcomes and promote healing. The risks and downtime associated with microneedling are minimal, with potential side effects like dryness or redness, which generally fade within a week.
