WHAT IS MICRONEEDLING?
IS MICRONEEDLING RIGHT FOR ME?
Candidates for this procedure would like to address skin concerns without the use of injectables or invasive cosmetic surgery. While both these options can deliver great results, we focus on what best matches your needs. Some patients do not like the idea of injections. And surgery comes with longer recovery periods. Microneedling then is a great option for patients who want a convenient and safe means of improving their skin.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING?
THE MICRONEEDLING PROCESS: HOW DOES IT WORK?
Before the procedure, Dr. Linville will numb the area with a light topical cream. No need for heavy anesthesia, so less stress is put on your body. Dr. Linville will use a state-of-the-art microneedling device to create small wounds in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production through the body’s natural healing process. Most patients report either no discomfort or only a minimal amount during the process.
The device will be strategically placed around the areas of concern. In one session, you can treat multiple areas. The duration of each treatment session depends on the problem areas being addressed. In general, the treatment can take about 30 minutes for an average session. If you treat multiple areas, it might last up to an hour.
RECOVERY AND RESULTS
After the procedure, patients may experience slight tingling, redness, and swelling. Patients may return to work within 24 hours of the treatment. So we often recommend this treatment over the weekend.
You will notice improvements after even a single session. However, your final results will be shown gradually and depend upon the patient’s own healing process. In the coming weeks, your body will begin the healing process, producing new collagen naturally. As you build up new collagen, you will notice significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and appearance.
Throughout the whole treatment process, Dr. Linville will monitor the patient’s progress to ensure a seamless healing process. If you have any questions or concerns, we are here every step of the way.
