Microneedling has grown in popularity over the years, with many people praising its skin-rejuvenating effects. Unlike traditional facial treatments such as Botox® and dermal fillers, microneedling is a non-invasive procedure requiring no injections or other medical interventions. But what does microneedling involve, and how exactly does it work? This blog post explores the science behind microneedling, from understanding what happens to our skin during the treatment to looking at all potential benefits.
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure involving tiny needles to puncture the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, promoting skin rejuvenation and reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars. Microneedling treatments are individualized to each person’s needs and can be done on various body parts, including the face, neck, and hands. Overall, microneedling has become an increasingly popular option for those looking to improve the appearance and texture of their skin.
By stimulating regeneration at a cellular level, microneedling can be used as an effective treatment for a wide range of skin issues, such as acne scarring, discoloration, enlarged pores, sun damage, and age spots. Here are the benefits of microneedling in detail to help you understand if this treatment could be right for you:
Microneedling helps stimulate collagen and elastin production, which are essential proteins for maintaining youthful and plump skin. This process can improve the overall texture and tone of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
Enlarged pores can contribute to an uneven skin texture and make the skin appear less smooth. Microneedling can help shrink the size of pores by stimulating collagen production and tightening the skin around the pore openings.
The tiny channels created by the microneedles during the procedure allow for better absorption of topical skincare products. This means that serums, hydrators, and other products applied after microneedling can penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.
Microneedling is considered a minimally invasive procedure with relatively little downtime. While redness may occur immediately after treatment, they typically subside within a couple of days. Compared to more aggressive skin treatments, microneedling generally has a shorter recovery period.
Microneedling can be performed on various body areas, including the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and scalp. This versatility allows for treating specific concerns in different areas, offering a comprehensive approach to skin rejuvenation.
Whether you’re looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles or improve the elasticity and texture of your skin, we offer microneedling services that can help you achieve the smooth and youthful complexion you desire. We are trained in the latest advancements in microneedling technology, ensuring that each client receives a customized treatment plan that meets their unique needs. At our practice, we specialize in both microneedling and microneedling with PRP treatments to help our clients achieve the smooth complexion they desire.
At InjectAbility® Clinic, our clinicians offer microneedling treatments with the SkinPen® Dermal Rejuvenation system, also known as the “MicroPen.” This medical-grade micro-needling device is designed to ensure safe practices and treatment efficacy with a single-use 12-needle tip that penetrates up to 2 mm deep.
The SkinPen effectively treats a variety of skin concerns, including fine to deep wrinkles, acne, acne scars, minor blemishes, stretch marks, and traumatic scars. Moreover, this treatment promotes collagen stimulation and skin elasticity by stimulating fibroblasts in the skin, which release growth factors to rebuild the deeper layers of the skin.
Combining microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is a highly successful and safe method of skin rejuvenation. During the procedure, blood is taken from the patient and spun in a centrifuge, separating it into its components. One of these components is PRP, which is rich in proteins and natural growth factors. When paired with microneedling treatments, collagen production is increased, reducing wrinkles’ appearance. This combination of microneedling services and PRP is an effective way to achieve youthful, radiant skin.
When deciding who is the right fit for a service like microneedling, there are multiple factors to consider. Typically, people interested in microneedling should be in good health overall and have specific skin issues, including wrinkles, scars, hyperpigmentation, or enlarged pores.
Microneedling can benefit individuals of different age groups, regardless of whether they are young or old. However, some medical conditions like active infections, eczema, or keloid scarring may affect eligibility for this treatment. We recommend consulting with us to determine if microneedling is the right option for you. We will assess your skin type, medical history, and lifestyle, discuss potential risks or alternative treatments, and help you make an informed decision.

Every experience the staff has gone above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable with my choice, during my treatment and confident in my results. They are kind and knowledgeable. Leslie is a master with Botox, and Emma is a wizard at skincare recommendations. Front staff is quick to respond and accommodating. Over the past year, I've pursued the Cool Sculpt and Cool Tone treatments, and am so happy with the results.

I got filler for the first time with Dominique. She is such a sweetheart! She listened to all of my concerns and delivered the exact results I wanted! She didn't rush and took her time to achieve the look I was going for, natural youthful lips! She has a gentle hand and made me feel so at ease. I will be returning soon. And the clinic is pristine and all of the staff very welcoming.
