Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create thousands of tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. This process triggers your body’s natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—the essential proteins responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. As your skin repairs itself, it becomes thicker, more even-toned, and visibly improved in texture and appearance. Microneedling effectively treats a wide range of skin concerns including acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and uneven skin tone. The treatment can be performed on the face and body, with minimal downtime and gradual results that continue to improve over several months as new collagen forms. Often combined with serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for enhanced benefits, microneedling offers a natural approach to skin rejuvenation that works with your body’s own healing mechanisms.
SkinPen® Elite microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that helps minimize the signs of aging, improve the appearance of acne scars and rejuvenate aging skin. The SkinPen® Elite microneedling device causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. The micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to remodeling of collagen and elastin.
What is microneedling? Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production for improved skin texture, tone, and appearance.
What skin concerns does microneedling address? Microneedling effectively treats acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, large pores, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, and overall skin texture irregularities.
How long does a microneedling session take? A typical microneedling treatment at Reborn Aesthetics & Wellness takes approximately 60-90 minutes, including consultation, numbing, treatment, and post-care instructions.
Is microneedling painful? We apply a topical numbing cream before treatment to minimize discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate, similar to light sandpaper moving across the skin.
How many treatments will I need? While results vary by individual, most patients see optimal results with 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Our team will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
What should I expect after treatment? Immediately following treatment, your skin may appear red and feel slightly tender, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Peeling and dryness may occur for a few days as your skin begins healing.
When will I see results? Initial improvements may be visible within a few days, but optimal results develop gradually over 4-6 weeks as new collagen forms. Results continue to improve for up to 6 months after your treatment series.
Who is a good candidate for microneedling? Most skin types and tones can benefit from microneedling. However, those with active acne, certain skin conditions, or who are pregnant should avoid treatment. We’ll assess your candidacy during your consultation.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments? Yes! We often combine microneedling with serums, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), or other treatments to enhance results. Our team will recommend the best combination approach for your skin goals.
How do I prepare for my microneedling appointment? Avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and certain skincare products for several days before treatment. We’ll provide detailed pre-care instructions when you schedule your appointment at Reborn Aesthetics & Wellness.
