Your path to revitalized skin begins with a comprehensive consultation at Face N Body Aesthetics & Plastic Surgery. During this evaluation, our skilled professionals assess your unique skin concerns and treatment goals. We craft a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy or percutaneous collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that helps improve the appearance of scars, fine lines, and uneven skin tone by stimulating the skin’s natural healing process. At Face N Body, we utilize SkinPen®, a professional-grade microneedling device that creates precise, controlled microchannels in the top layer of the skin using thin needles.
This process helps stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture, tone, and elasticity with minimal downtime. It’s a safe procedure suitable for most skin types, including those with darker skin tones, and is effective in treating a wide range of skin concerns.
Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
Targets stretch marks, scars, wrinkles, and acne scars
Redness may last a few hours to a couple of days
Suitable for darker skin, including sensitive types
Used for the face, neck, chest, and more
Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures penetrate the stratum corneum, signaling your body to initiate healing by producing more collagen, increasing cellular turnover, and enhancing blood flow to the treated area. The result? Firmer, smoother, more radiant skin.
Our team uses SkinPen, an FDA-cleared microneedling device, to help you achieve your most radiant, youthful skin. Our cutting-edge SkinPen Microneedling treatment is a powerful solution to rejuvenate your complexion. This microneedling procedure is supported by clinical studies and has been proven to improve atrophic acne scars, fine lines, and sun damage.
SkinPen Microneedling is an innovative, non-invasive procedure designed to enhance your skin's natural healing processes. It involves the use of fine, sterilized needles to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These controlled injuries stimulate your skin's collagen and elastin production, leading to improved texture, diminished fine lines, and an overall healthier complexion.
We begin by applying topical anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the treatment session. At Face N Body, your comfort and safety are paramount during the Microneedling procedure. To ensure your experience is as comfortable as possible, we apply a topical numbing cream. This minimizes any potential discomfort, allowing you to relax while the SkinPen Microneedling device does its work.
Once your skin is numb, the SkinPen device glides across the surface using fine needles to reach the appropriate depth for your concerns. By creating micro-injuries in your skin, the device triggers natural collagen production, leading to an improved complexion and a more rejuvenated appearance.
You may notice slight redness or pinpoint bleeding after the procedure, which fades within a few hours to a day or two. We’ll walk you through aftercare to protect the skin as it heals. Most patients feel comfortable returning to daily routines quickly, though we may recommend avoiding makeup, exercise, or chemical peels for 24–48 hours.
Microneedling helps treat acne scars, surgical scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, while also brightening dark spots and smoothing rough skin texture. It's also used in aesthetic dermatology to improve:
Because it doesn’t rely on heat or pigment, microneedling outcomes are predictable and safe for darker skin tones.
You’ll start to notice smoother, more even skin in just a few weeks. With repeated treatment sessions, most patients see improvements in acne scars, texture, and tone.
Benefits include:
For optimal results, a series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart is often recommended.
Most healthy adults can undergo microneedling. It’s beneficial for those looking to improve skin texture, fade scars, and treat aging skin without more aggressive cosmetic treatments. This procedure is considered safe when performed by a trained healthcare provider. However, patients with a weakened immune system, active infections, or certain skin conditions may be advised to avoid microneedling or delay treatment until their condition improves.
If you manage conditions like rosacea, have blood vessel disorders, or take medications that affect healing, we’ll help you determine if this is the right fit.
Recovery is typically minimal. Expect mild redness, tightness, or flaking for 1–3 days, depending on your individual skin sensitivity. We’ll recommend hydrating products to soothe the skin and support healing. It’s crucial to avoid sweaty workouts, makeup, and UV exposure in the first 48 hours.
Because skin needling doesn’t remove the top layer of skin, most people tolerate it well, even those with sensitive or darker skin.
Most patients begin to notice a healthy glow and smoother skin texture within the first few weeks after treatment. As your body continues to stimulate collagen production, results become more noticeable, typically around 4 to 6 weeks after each session. For deeper concerns, such as acne scars, stretch marks, or fine lines, a series of treatments may be necessary to achieve the best outcome.
Results are gradual, natural-looking, and long-lasting. With a full treatment plan and proper skincare, improvements can last several months or longer. To maintain your glow and collagen levels, we often recommend maintenance sessions every two to three years, depending on your skin goals and age.
Because microneedling enhances your skin’s healing process, you’ll continue to see improvements in texture, tone, and firmness over time, not just immediately after your appointment.
