Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive dermatological procedure that uses fine needles to create tiny holes in the skin. The small wounds trigger the body’s healing response, which releases growth factors and collagen. This process helps the skin produce more elastin, which keeps it firm and smooth.

What Does Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling is used to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including:
- Acne scars
- Wrinkles
- Stretch marks
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines
- Loose or crepey skin
- Skin discoloration or uneven skin tone
How Fast Does Microneedling Work?
Expect optimal results after about 4-6 weeks. That's roughly the amount of time that it takes for collagen to develop fully. It also takes about a month for the skin cells to turn over entirely, from start to finish. While you may be looking for immediate results, microneedling results are well worth the wait.
How Often Should You Microneedle?
Microneedling treatments are generally scheduled every 4–6 weeks, or about once a month. This frequency works well for most people and skin types.
What is the Aftercare for Microneedling?
Avoid Makeup Products
Avoid makeup or touching your skin for 24 hours.
Use Hydrating Products
Apply moisturizers and serums to help retain skin moisture.
Avoid Sun Exposure
Use a high SPF and stay out of direct sunlight for several days. Your skin may be more sensitive to a burn.
