Microneedling is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the appearance of your skin. By creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling stimulates your body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen production and improved skin texture. This treatment is ideal for those seeking to reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and uneven skin tone without significant downtime. At Humphrey & Beleznay we customize the topicals and skincare we apply to your skin with microneedling for your specific needs. In addition, platelet-rich-plasma (PRP) is a great add on that can provide further improvement and help reduce healing time. We will discuss this based on your goals and skin needs
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine (micro) needles to create hundreds of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of the skin. This process triggers the skin’s natural healing mechanisms, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin—key components for maintaining youthful, healthy skin. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more even.
The microneedling process involves the use of a device equipped with fine needles that glide over the skin, creating micro-injuries. These controlled injuries kickstart the body’s wound healing response, which results in the production of new collagen and elastin. Over time, this leads to the reduction of scars, wrinkles, and other skin imperfections. The procedure is typically performed with a topical anesthetic to ensure comfort, and the entire treatment can be completed in about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
Before the procedure begins, a topical anesthetic is applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. Once the skin is numbed, the microneedling device is gently moved across the skin to create the micro-injuries. The treatment is relatively quick, typically lasting between 30 to 60 minutes. After the procedure, the skin may appear red, similar to a mild sunburn, and there may be some minor swelling. These side effects usually subside within a few days. We also offer a customized topical delivery, so if you are dealing with pigmentation we may apply a topical to improve pigmentation further We also add PRP to enhance results in certain cases.
The results of microneedling become more apparent as the skin heals and new collagen forms, usually within a few weeks. Patients often notice smoother, more radiant skin with fewer textural changes. For optimal results, a series of treatments may be recommended, spaced about 3-4 weeks apart. Aftercare is straightforward—patients should avoid sun exposure and use a gentle skincare routine to support the healing process.
The number of sessions needed varies based on your skin condition and goals. Typically, a series of 3 to 5 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
Results can be seen after a few weeks as new collagen forms and the skin heals. Improvements continue over time with subsequent treatments.
Microneedling has minimal downtime. You may experience redness and mild swelling for a few days up to a week or so, but most patients can resume normal activities the next day.
