Microneedling
About Microneedling
If you are looking for an effective, minimally invasive way to address the signs of aging or improve the overall appearance of your skin, microneedling may be the right treatment for you. A concept that has been around for nearly 50 years, microneedling is a proven dermatology treatment that works with your body’s natural healing process to produce tighter, smoother, more radiant skin.
Microneedling uses ultrafine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-wounds in the skin. This triggers the body’s self-healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and hyaluronic acid. The result is skin that looks healthier, firmer, and more youthful. Many microneedling devices also deliver radiofrequency energy into the skin to further support tissue repair and hydration.
You can discuss whether microneedling is right for you with your dermatologist at Dallas Associated Dermatologists.
What is Microneedling Used For?
Because microneedling stimulates both collagen growth and hyaluronic acid production, it is effective for a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Rough or lax skin
- Acne scars and other scarring
- Uneven skin texture and tone
Microneedling is safe and effective for all skin types and colors, and results in improvements that look natural.
What to Expect
Each microneedling session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes. The procedure is non-surgical and virtually painless, with no downtime required. The controlled micro-wounds are not visible to the naked eye, though some patients may appear flushed for a short time following treatment.
Microneedling is suitable for even the most delicate areas of the face, including the cheeks, upper and lower eyelids, the sides of the nose, and the upper lip.
Depending on your aesthetic goals and the extent of your skin concerns, three to five treatment sessions may be recommended for optimal results. Side effects are minimal and may include redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness lasting five to seven days. Regular touch-up treatments can help prolong and maintain results.
