Enhance skin texture and tone with microneedling at Abrams Dermatology. This minimally invasive treatment stimulates collagen production, effectively reducing fine lines, acne scars, large pores, and stretch marks. By creating tiny micro-injuries, microneedling promotes natural healing, leading to smoother, rejuvenated skin.
Boost Collagen Production and Improve Skin Texture
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that improves skin texture and tone by stimulating the body’s natural healing process. During the treatment, tiny, sterile needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, prompting collagen and elastin production. This rejuvenation process helps diminish the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and stretch marks. Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, and other areas to help you achieve smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.
Microneedling Is the Ideal Treatment For:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Enlarged pores
- Stretch marks
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Skin laxity and dullness
Combine Microneedling With PRP for Optimal Results
For enhanced skin rejuvenation, you can choose to combine microneedling with platelet-rich plasma. PRP is a concentration of platelets derived from a small sample of your blood, which is processed to separate and concentrate the platelets. These platelets contain growth factors and proteins that accelerate tissue repair and stimulate collagen production. When applied to the skin during microneedling, PRP enhances the body’s natural healing response.
Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin that allow the PRP to penetrate deeper, amplifying its effects. The growth factors in PRP promote faster healing, reduce inflammation, and boost cell regeneration. This combination treatment effectively reduces acne scars, fine lines, and overall skin texture, providing a more youthful appearance with faster recovery and improved results compared to microneedling alone.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin using tiny, sterile needles. These micro-channels stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin—proteins responsible for skin strength, elasticity, and smoothness. As the skin repairs itself, new tissue forms, reducing the appearance of fine lines, scars, and other imperfections. The micro-injuries also enhance the absorption of topical serums, allowing for deeper penetration of active ingredients. This process leads to overall skin rejuvenation, improving texture, tone, and firmness.
The Unique Benefits of Microneedling:

- Improves skin texture, tone, and firmness
- Reduces fine lines, acne scars, and stretch marks

Microneedling FAQs
Is Microneedling Painful?
Microneedling is typically well-tolerated, but some discomfort may be experienced during the procedure. To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area before the session, minimizing any sensations. Patients often describe the feeling as mild pressure or a slight tingling rather than pain.
How Long Does a Microneedling Session Take?
A standard microneedling session usually lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. This includes preparation time, such as applying numbing cream. If you combine microneedling with PRP or other treatments, the session may take longer.
What Should I Expect After a Microneedling Treatment?
After microneedling, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, and you might experience minor tenderness. These side effects usually subside within a day or two. You’ll notice some flaking as your skin begins to heal and renew. It’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions, including using gentle, hydrating products and avoiding sun exposure.
When Will I See the Results From Microneedling?
Results from microneedling typically appear within a few weeks as new collagen and skin tissue form. Improvements continue to develop over the next few months, especially with multiple treatments. The gradual process allows for natural-looking, long-lasting results.
How Many Microneedling Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions depends on your skin condition and desired results. Generally, most people see improvements after 3-6 sessions spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. For more severe concerns like deep acne scars or stretch marks, additional treatments may be recommended. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
