Microneedling: What Is It & How Does It Work?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process by creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. This treatment promotes collagen and elastin production, helping to smooth fine lines, improve texture, and reduce the appearance of scars.
With FDA-approved technology, microneedling offers an effective, non-surgical way to rejuvenate your skin. Loved for its versatility, microneedling is safe for most skin types and can address multiple concerns in one treatment, making it a popular solution for more radiant, youthful-looking skin.

All About Microneedling: FAQs
Microneedling is generally well-tolerated and causes minimal discomfort, often described as a mild scratching sensation. To enhance comfort, we may apply a numbing cream before treatment. Sensitivity can vary depending on the area treated, needle depth, and individual tolerance, but most patients find the procedure manageable.
Many patients notice an immediate glow, with visible improvements developing over the next few days and weeks. Results can continue to enhance for up to six months as your body’s natural collagen production increases.
Downtime after microneedling is minimal. You can expect redness similar to a sunburn for 12-48 hours. Most patients return to normal activities immediately, though some prefer to schedule treatments around weekends.
Microneedling is typically recommended every 4-6 weeks, which allows your skin time to heal and regenerate collagen. A series of 3-6 treatments is often needed for the best results but that will also depend on your specific skin concern.
