Smooth, Rejuvenate, and Revitalize Your Skin with SkinPen®
Microneedling has quickly become one of the most sought-after skin rejuvenation treatments—and for good reason. This minimally invasive procedure effectively treats a range of skin concerns, from acne scars and fine lines to sun damage and skin laxity. Microneedling is a powerful anti-aging treatment and collagen induction therapy designed to rejuvenate the face, neck, and chest. By creating controlled microchannels in the skin’s surface, the procedure stimulates the body’s natural healing response, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin. These microchannels also enhance the absorption of topical serums, allowing vital nutrients to penetrate deeply and accelerate visible improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance.
Why Choose Plastic Surgeons for Microneedling?
Not all med spas are created equal. While many microneedling treatments are performed by aesthetic nurses, choosing a practice overseen by board-certified plastic surgeons provides a higher standard of care and safety.
Microneedling uses the precision of the SkinPen® to create thousands of tiny micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These microchannels trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response, stimulating the production of collagen, elastin, and other essential growth factors that renew and tighten the skin.
As the skin heals from the inside out, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Additionally, these microchannels allow for deeper absorption of active serums, boosting the effectiveness of your skincare routine.
What Can Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling is highly versatile and can improve the appearance of various skin concerns. A series of at least three treatments is typically recommended for best results. Conditions treated include:
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Loose or sagging skin
- Hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
- Hair loss (alopecia)
For patients experiencing moderate to severe skin laxity, surgical options such as a facelift may be more appropriate.
Enhance Your Results with Post-Treatment Serums
Microneedling increases the skin’s ability to absorb topical products. Choosing the right serum post-treatment can significantly boost your results:
- Vitamin C Serums: Antioxidant-rich and collagen-boosting, Vitamin C helps reduce wrinkles and improve skin tone.
- Hyaluronic Acid (HA) Serums: Hydrate and plump the skin, shrink the appearance of pores, and improve texture.
- Growth Factor Serums: Accelerate healing and collagen production for faster, more visible results.
We offer a curated selection of medical-grade skincare products to complement your microneedling treatments.
What to Expect After Microneedling
Recovery after microneedling is typically quick and well-tolerated, with minimal downtime. Here’s what you might experience:
- Redness & Sensitivity: Mild redness and tenderness are common and usually subside within 1–3 days.
- Swelling: Some swelling, especially in delicate areas, may occur but typically resolves within a few days.
- Dryness & Flaking: As the skin regenerates, you may notice tightness or flaking that usually resolves within a week.
- Tingling or Itching: Temporary sensations that fade as healing progresses.
Your provider will guide you through a personalized post-treatment care plan to maximize results and comfort.

Microneedling FAQ
Can microneedling cause new dark spots or breakouts?
Some patients may notice temporary dark spots or minor breakouts following treatment due to the skin’s natural healing response. These effects typically fade as the skin regenerates.
How many sessions do I need?
Most patients benefit from 3 to 6 treatments, spaced approximately 4 weeks apart, for optimal results.
Are microneedling results permanent?
Results are long-lasting but not permanent. Regular maintenance treatments—typically every 6 to 12 months—help preserve your results as collagen naturally depletes over time.
When can I wear makeup or get a facial after treatment?
Avoid makeup for 24 to 48 hours post-treatment to allow the skin to heal. Wait at least 2 to 4 weeks before receiving facial treatments.
Does microneedling fade scars?
Yes, microneedling stimulates collagen production, which can significantly reduce the appearance of scars, including acne and surgical scars.
