Microneedling is a great treatment option for individuals looking to improve the texture and appearance of their skin without a prolonged recovery.\u00a0 Microneedling stimulates new collagen formation; makes the skin look smoother and more vibrant; and improves the appearance of acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, surgical scars, sun damage, and fine lines and wrinkles.\u00a0 Our expert medical aesthetician<\/a> Alla uses microneedling as part of a skin rejuvenation program, and to stimulate collagen production as part of aging prevention.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a skin resurfacing treatment which is on the less invasive end of the resurfacing treatment spectrum.\u00a0 Microneedling uses tiny pin-point needles to create small punctures in the upper layer of the skin.\u00a0 The body’s healing responses closes these punctures by generating new collagen and elastin in the skin.\u00a0 After microneedling, the skin looks smoother, more plump, and more youthful.\u00a0 Furthermore, microneedling improves the texture and appearance of acne scars and surgical scars; shrinks pore size; and helps skincare products penetrate the skin more deeply and effectively.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Microneedling improves the skin’s texture and overall appearance and health, and both Dr. Fishman and our staff recommend it frequently for skin rejuvenation.\u00a0 Our medical aesthetician, Alla, also enjoys doing microneedling for acne scars, surgical scars, and acne.\u00a0 “By stimulating new collagen formation and creating a controlled amount of injury in the skin, I’m asking the skin to heal itself–and get the bonus of a little extra collagen and plumpness along the way,” says Alla.\u00a0 Alla recommends microneedling treatments for their anti-aging properties; “much like exfoliation, microneedling should be a regular, maintenance treatment,” she says, relating her most common treatment areas are the face, neck, and chest.\u00a0 She commonly recommends a series of microneedling treatments for surgical scars, saying it is important to start treatments within a few weeks of removing sutures for best scar healing results.\u00a0 Likewise, acne scars get improvement from microneedling, says Alla, explaining that the smoothing effect of new collagen helps acne scars appears less deep and more blended into the surrounding skin.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

After a thorough analysis of treatment benefits and risks, our staff prepares the patient for microneedling treatments by taking clinical photographs and applying topical numbing or freezing cream to ensure comfort.\u00a0 Some areas may require small injections of numbing medications for a more thorough and comfortable treatment. Once the skin is numbed and cleaned, our aesthetician precisely uses the 12-pin microneedling pen over the face or neck to clear up the skin and promote tightness via collagen and elastin production. The process takes about 45 minutes once the microneedling begins and about an hour in total.\u00a0<\/p>

We commonly combine microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP)<\/a><\/span> to help patients recover more quickly and to boost the collagen-stimulating benefits of microneedling. PRP injections uses the growth factor-rich platelets from your own blood to boost healing in treated areas. Our staff also recommends using the Celluma LED light therapy after microneedling treatments to help reduce redness and decrease treatment downtime.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In short, no.\u00a0 Microneedling is an essentially painless treatment.\u00a0 Before the treatment, we apply a topical lidocaine numbing cream to the skin for 20-30 minutes, and once this takes full effect, microneedling feels like a mild buzzing or light pressure sensation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Our staff employs their expertise to make microneedling treatments painless, safe, and thoroughly effective.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Downtime for microneedling is minimal, and consists of skin redness, mild and short-lived swelling, and occasional light flaking.\u00a0 Mild redness and swelling usually persist for 1-2 days, and the treated skin can tolerate makeup 24 hours after the microneedling treatment.\u00a0 Some patients experience light peeling or flaking 3-5 days after treatment.\u00a0 Patients occasionally report intermittent itching and no pain during microneedling recovery.\u00a0 Recovery tends to become shorter with subsequent microneedling treatments.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

After the first treatment, the skin undergoes lots of healing to recover from the microneedling. Once the redness diminishes, the new skin that forms is visibly tighter and brighter. Acne subsides more effectively after the first treatment as the microneedling limits oil production in the face, meaning less white and blackheads!<\/p>

The full effects are seen at about 4 weeks, so we recommend treatments every 4-6 weeks to keep your skin looking young and fresh.\u00a0After several treatments, the skin holds its new elasticity and tightness for longer periods of time so you can take more time in-between sessions.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The main risks are swelling and bruising, however, microneedling is fairly noninvasive. Beyond the temporary irritation, there is a small risk of bleeding from the injections immediately after the treatment. As with any medical procedure involving breaking the skin, there is a slight risk of infection, but our staff uses sterile equipment and takes every measure to clean the skin to prevent infection.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The number of sesssions is always up to the individual and our provider’s skin initial skin analysis. After seeing your provider for the first treatment, we will typically recommend 2 additional treatments spaced out by 4-6 weeks to see the largest benefit. We also offer packages of PRP injections alongside the microneedling on the same timeline. Beyond the first three treatments, many patients continue their upkeep with sessions every 3-4 months or as needed. For improvements to active acne, multiple packages may be required to help keep the complexion clear.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
