What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is an advanced cosmetic treatment that helps to rejuvenate and revitalize the skin for a more radiant and youthful-looking complexion.

Also referred to as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a popular, minimally-invasive treatment that uses a small pen-like device inlaid with several micro-fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body’s inflammatory response and stimulates the development of new collagen and elastic fibers.

Over time, as the skin heals from the microneedling treatment and the body encourages this natural healing process, you’ll notice a significant improvement in the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, skin discoloration (like dark spots, sunspots, and age spots), acne scars, and uneven skin texture.

Microneedling FAQs

Get a better understanding of microneedling by reading our FAQs section. Our board-certified dermatologists answer common questions, such as how microneedling benefits the skin, what you can expect during a session, and the type of skin conditions we treat with microneedling in Mansfield, Ohio.

What should I expect when microneedling?

Before your microneedling treatment, your provider will first clean your skin and remove any excess makeup or oil. Then, they will apply a topical numbing cream to minimize any discomfort during the procedure.

After the numbing cream has taken effect, your provider will administer the microneedling pen, gently drawing it across your face in long, smooth motions. Depending on where your provider administers the microneedling pen on your face or body, they might change the depth of penetration to optimize treatment results.

Does microneedling have any downtime?

Following the microneedling treatment, there is very little downtime. However, you can expect your skin to be very red immediately after the treatment, and slightly red and swollen for up to a week afterwards. Although, this shouldn’t impact your daily activities, including your work schedule.

During your microneedling recovery period, it’s best to avoid harsh sunlight, rigorous exercise, harsh skin care products, and extremely hot water, all of which may inflame or irritate your skin.

Is microneedling painful?

Our microneedling treatments are generally not painful. While you may experience some mild discomfort, your provider will administer a numbing cream before the procedure, which alleviates any unpleasantness.

What are the benefits of microneedling?

Microneedling is an effective cosmetic treatment with several skin benefits. These benefits include:

Smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines
Improving the appearance of acne scars
Addressing skin discoloration, like dark spots, sunspots, and age spots
Minimizing enlarged pores
Reducing the visibility of scars and stretch marks
Improving skin laxity
Brightening dull, lackluster skin

Can microneedling tighten skin?

One of the ideal benefits of microneedling is that it can address and improve skin laxity for tighter, firmer skin. Microneedling works by increasing the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which can significantly improve the skin’s overall texture and tone.

If you have skin laxity issues, contact us to learn more about how microneedling can tighten your skin and benefit your complexion.

How often should I get microneedling?

The frequency of treatment depends on your specific cosmetic and aesthetic goals. In many cases, your provider may recommend several microneedling sessions spaced out over a period of time to achieve optimal results.

During a microneedling consultation in Mansfield, Ohio, one of our experienced providers will discuss how many microneedling sessions are recommended for you to achieve your desired results.
