Tiny Needles, Big Impact
If you’re searching for a way to improve the appearance of scars, encourage hair growth, boost collagen, or treat fine lines, sun damage, and stretch marks, microneedling may be the treatment for you. This minimally invasive treatment does it all and is offered by a diverse, experienced team of experts at Rochester Regional Health.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that occurs when your provider pricks your skin with tiny, sterilized needles. It rejuvenates the skin because when your body feels these pinpricks, it rushes to heal them, leaving behind a plump and more youthful appearance.
Short-term, microneedling offers plump and radiant skin that will continue to grow in luminosity for several weeks. For some, you may need several sessions before you see intense results. In a 2008 study, those treated with four microneedling sessions spaced one month apart saw a 400% increase in elastin and collagen six months after treatment.
Why Should I Consider Microneedling?
Microneedling can help with:
- Acne
- Dark spots
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hair loss
- Large pores
- Reduced skin elasticity
- Scars
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
Microneedling typically only takes 10-20 minutes per session and is less expensive than laser treatments. It tends to take 4-6 procedures to see a difference. Microneedling is an excellent, minimally invasive treatment. Ask your dermatologist if it will work for your skin type during a virtual consultation →
