Are you tired of seeing acne scars or uneven skin texture whenever you look in the mirror? Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that could provide the smoother, firmer skin you’ve been hoping for.
At Genesis Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, we offer advanced microneedling services under the direction of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jayesh Panchal. With decades of experience and a commitment to personalized care, Dr. Panchal and his team strive to help you feel confident in your skin.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy. It involves a special device equipped with fine needles to create tiny, controlled injuries in the skin.
These injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response. They prompt the production of proteins such as collagen and elastin – which are crucial in plumping, firming, and smoothing the skin.
How Microneedling Helps with Acne Scars and Skin Texture
Microneedling is particularly effective in addressing:
- Acne scars: An increase in collagen production can fill in depressed acne scars.
- Bumps and rough patches: The treatment promotes skin regeneration, resulting in a more even and refined surface.
- Fine lines and wrinkles: Boosting collagen and elastin can soften fine lines and contribute to a more youthful look.
- Enlarged pores: Microneedling can make your pores seem smaller and your skin appear smoother.
What to Expect During and After Your Appointment
Microneedling sessions typically last about 30 to 60 minutes. First, your provider will use a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Then, they will gently glide the device over the treatment area.
Following your appointment, you may experience some redness and sensitivity (most people compare it to a mild sunburn). These effects usually go away within 24 to 48 hours.
You’ll likely see changes in your skin texture and tone within a few weeks. You’ll also continue to notice improvements over the next several months as collagen production increases.
