Microneedling
Microneedling in Meridian at the Leyngold Institute for Plastic Surgery offers patients a unique nonsurgical experience that brings out the best in their skin. As one of the top ways to boost collagen production, microneedling can deliver on multiple fronts, tightening and improving your skin’s appearance with stunning results.
What Is Microneedling?
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
- Improved appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines
- Skin texture improvements (smoother, more even)
- Reduced hyperpigmentation (from age spots or sun damage)
- Scar reduction (for acne scars and other mild scarring)
- Shrinking enlarged pores and clearing clogged pores
- Improved skin laxity
Is a Microneedling Treatment Right for Me?
Treatment Overview
- Preparation: We carefully clean the treatment area to reduce any risk of inflammation or infection. We also usually apply a topical numbing cream to foster a more comfortable experience.
- Treatment: We utilize the Skin Pen precision device, which is the gold standard for microneedling. The device is run over the area to be treated. The pattern of application and depth of penetration are adjusted based on your procedure plan. On request, we will add additional growth factors to your treatment, which further enhance your results.
- Serum will be applied to your skin post-treatment to keep it moist and aid in recovery.
What Is the Recovery Like for Microneedling?
- It takes about 1 week for your skin to heal. During this time, some redness and swelling are normal. Some skin flaking toward the end of the week is also normal as your skin remodels itself.
- Avoid strenuous exercise, excess sun exposure, and saunas until your skin has healed. Particularly, be careful while your skin is still red after treatment, avoiding anything that could cause irritation.
- Stay hydrated and keep your skin clean with a gentle cleanser. Together, these can help your skin heal more quickly and promote better results.
When Can I See the Results?
Most patients begin seeing visible improvements about 2 weeks after a microneedling treatment. By this point, your skin will have healed. Skin remodeling and collagen production will be well underway. You can expect to see continued improvements for several weeks as your body continues its response to the treatment.
A single microneedling treatment can deliver clear improvements to your skin. However, you may need a few separate visits to fully reach your goals, especially for more notable concerns. Typically, patients only need 3 to 5 sessions to achieve the results they set out to see.
