What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that involves your practitioner using a device with fine, sterile needles to create tiny punctures in your skin. These micro-injuries activate your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production — essential proteins that keep your skin smooth, firm, and youthful-looking.

Microneedling is typically performed on the face but can also work on other areas like your hands, neck, or chest.

What issues does microneedling address?

Microneedling is a gentle, minimally invasive treatment that encourages your skin to heal and renew naturally. It works by stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving the look and feel of your skin over time. Here’s what microneedling can do for you:

• Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles
• Fade acne scars and stretch marks
• Improve skin texture and tone
• Minimize the appearance of pores
• Enhance overall skin radiance with minimal downtime

If you're looking for a safe and effective way to achieve a fresh, rejuvenated glow, microneedling may be the right choice.

How does microneedling work? 

To perform the procedure, your Dermatology of Miami practitioner glides a microneedling device across your skin’s surface. As the tiny needles penetrate the top layer of skin, they create controlled micro-injuries. These stimulate your skin’s repair process for increased collagen and elastin production. 

Over time, your skin becomes thicker, smoother, and more youthful-looking. Some treatments may combine microneedling with serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) to enhance results, as the microchannels created allow for deeper absorption of nutrients.

How long will my microneedling results last?

Microneedling results typically appear a few weeks after treatment, as collagen production increases and skin starts to renew. The results aren’t permanent, but they can last several months with proper skin care and sun protection. 

For best results, most people benefit from 3-6 treatments, 4-6 weeks apart. After that, maintenance sessions every 4-6 months can help sustain the improvements. Individual factors like age, skin condition, lifestyle, and the type of device used can influence how long your results last.
