What is Microneedling?

Discover the transformative benefits of microneedling in Tuckahoe! Our expertly trained team at Kerin MedSpa & Laser Center uses state-of-the-art technology and techniques to rejuvenate your skin and unveil a radiant, youthful complexion.

Microneedling, also known as Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that involves fine, sterile needles to create tiny, unnoticeable punctures in the skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, improving texture, tone, and overall appearance. 

Microneedling is a safe and effective alternative to fractional laser, IPL, or chemical peels. It offers remarkable results without the pain, downtime, expense, or thermal damage associated with other treatments.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling triggers the body’s natural healing response, forming new tissue layers rich in collagen and elastin fibers. This process tightens and rejuvenates the skin while improving blood circulation and promoting a youthful glow. Additionally, microneedling can enhance the absorption of topical drugs and nutrients, maximizing their effectiveness and delivering undeniable results.

Ideal Candidates for Microneedling

Microneedling is excellent for individuals who want to improve various skin concerns without surgical methods. Candidates include:

  • Individuals with mild to moderate skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, mild acne scars, and enlarged pores.
  • People with good general skin health–free of active infections (eczema, psoriasis, or severe acne), significant skin disorders, or open wounds in the treatment area.
  • Those seeking enhanced skin texture, tone, and firmness.

Microneedling is generally not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.

What to Expect During a Microneedling Treatment:

During a microneedling procedure, Dr. Kerin cleans the skin and applies a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort. He then uses a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen production. The treatment usually lasts 15 to 30 minutes, with patients feeling mild tingling or pinpricks.

What Happens After the Treatment

After the procedure, the skin typically appears red and slightly swollen, similar to a sunburn, but this subsides within a couple of days. Patients should follow post-care instructions, avoid direct sunlight, and apply soothing serums, with normal activities resuming within a day.

Is microneedling painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during microneedling treatment, which can be mitigated with a topical numbing cream applied before the procedure.

The number of sessions needed varies depending on individual skin concerns and goals. Generally, a series of treatments several weeks apart is recommended for optimal results.
