What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a skincare treatment that uses the principles of collagen induction therapy (CIT). It works by stamping the skin with very small needles and creating tiny, controlled wounds in the skin to jumpstart your body’s natural wound-healing process. During this process, the skin creates healthy new collagen, kickstarts the skin’s healing process, and improves skin elasticity. Increasing collagen production can have excellent benefits for aging skin, as well as skin that has concerns like acne scars, pigmentation, uneven skin tone and skin texture, stretch marks, or sun damage.

Your Customized Microneedling Consultation

Microneedling treatment is widely renowned as the most effective way to stimulate collagen and improve a wide variety of skin concerns. Microneedling is best combined with treatments like dermaplaning or chemical peels, as well as physician-grade skincare products which can be better absorbed into the skin after microneedling. During a consultation with our team, you’ll develop a personalized treatment package based on your unique goals, skin type, and concerns.

The Treatment Process

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that can be performed right in our Pensacola office. To begin, you’ll discuss your goals with our team to determine the right treatment approach and depth and coordinate skincare treatments. Once you’re ready, your skin will be numbed and cleansed. Then, the specialized handpiece will be applied to the skin. The tiny needles will generate microscopic channels. Once the full area has been treated, active ingredients will be applied so they can be absorbed into the deeper layers of the dermis. Once complete, your skin will be soothed and made ready for the rest of your day.

Recovery and Results

It’s extremely important to avoid sun exposure after microneedling. It’s normal to have some redness and sensitivity, so avoid any harsh products or treatment of the skin. Make sure to keep your skin hydrated and use only gentle, unscented products. It can take a few weeks for the effects of microneedling to emerge as the skin generates new collagen, but the result is noticeably brighter and healthier skin. Most patients benefit from an initial package of 3-4 microneedling treatments spaced about one month apart. However, you can return for maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to continually stimulate collagen and prevent aging signs. During a consultation, our team will give you a complete, personalized treatment schedule for the best results with microneedling.

Can I use hyaluronic acid after Microneedling?

Hyaluronic acid is safe and beneficial to use after microneedling. It helps hydrate the skin, supports healing, and enhances your overall results. Always choose a high-quality, fragrance-free formula.

Can Microneedling be done under eyes?

Microneedling can be safely performed under the eyes to improve fine lines, dark circles, and skin texture. A professional will use a shallower needle depth in this delicate area to minimize risk.

Microneedling is effective on the neck to address wrinkles, sagging, and uneven texture. It helps stimulate collagen and improve skin firmness over time.

Can you wear makeup after Microneedling?

You should avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 hours after microneedling to prevent irritation or infection. Once your skin begins to heal, you can return to your usual makeup routine with clean tools and products.

Do you peel after Microneedling?

Some light peeling or flaking is normal a few days after microneedling as your skin renews itself. This is usually mild and temporary, revealing fresher skin beneath.

Do you put serum on before or after Microneedling?

Serums are typically applied after microneedling, while the micro-channels are still open and can absorb active ingredients more effectively. Your provider may also apply a serum during the procedure.

Does Microneedling help enlarged pores?

Microneedling can minimize the appearance of enlarged pores by increasing collagen around each pore. Over time, this helps the skin look smoother and more refined.

Does Microneedling work on older skin?

Microneedling is effective for mature skin and can improve fine lines, texture, and laxity. It’s a great non-surgical option to refresh aging skin by stimulating natural collagen production.
