Microneedling for texture, tone and scarring.

• Uneven texture and enlarged pores
• Acne scarring, particularly shallow rolling scars
• Fine lines and early laxity
• Overall skin quality and tone
• Hair loss, when combined with platelet-rich plasma or exosomes on the scalp

We treat with SkinPen, a motorized pen device that uses a single-use sterile cartridge.

Very fine needles create thousands of microscopic channels at a controlled depth, which initiates a healing cascade that lays down new collagen and elastin.

Depth is adjusted by area and concern, and treatment is often paired with topical serums, platelet-rich plasma or exosomes.

Because it does not rely on light energy, microneedling is generally safe across the full range of skin tones.

• Topical numbing cream is applied for about 30 minutes before treatment.
• The device is passed over the area in a systematic pattern; treatment takes about 30 minutes.
• A series of three or more sessions, four to six weeks apart, is typical.

• Redness resembling a moderate sunburn for one to three days
• Mild swelling and tightness
• Occasional pinpoint bleeding during the treatment
• Makeup is generally avoided for 24 hours

Microneedling gives incremental improvement, which is exactly why it works well in a series. Deep or tethered scars usually need subcision, laser resurfacing or a combination approach; microneedling alone will underdeliver for those.
