Overview Of Microneedling Microneedling: The Skin Rejuvenation Treatment Near Me Wilmington NC

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling—also known as collagen induction therapy—is a skin treatment that involves using a device with tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-punctures stimulate your body’s natural healing process, triggering the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins for youthful, healthy skin.

What Does Microneedling Do?

Microneedling can help improve a wide range of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scars and other types of scarring

• Large pores

• Hyperpigmentation

• Uneven skin tone and texture

• Stretch marks

• Dull, tired-looking skin

  
  

It’s also great for overall skin rejuvenation, leaving your complexion firmer, smoother, and more radiant.

How Does the Treatment Work?

Here’s what you can typically expect during a microneedling session:

1. Consultation: Your provider assesses your skin and discusses your goals.

2. Cleansing and Numbing: The area is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.

3. Microneedling: A specialized device (like a Dermapen or SkinPen) is gently moved across the skin.

4. Post-Treatment Serums: Active ingredients like hyaluronic acid, peptides, or growth factors are applied to boost results.

5. Aftercare: Instructions are provided to help your skin heal and glow.

Treatment usually takes about 30–60 minutes, depending on the area.

Is There Any Downtime?

Microneedling has minimal downtime. You may experience:

• Redness (like a sunburn) for 24–48 hours

• Mild swelling or tightness

• Light flaking or dryness as your skin renews itself

Most people return to their normal routine within a day or two, and full healing typically happens within a week.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

While many clients notice improvements after just one session, most benefit from a series of 3–6 treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart for best results—especially for concerns like scarring or deep wrinkles.

Is Microneedling Safe for All Skin Types?

Yes! Microneedling is considered safe and effective for all skin tones and types, including darker skin tones that are often more sensitive to lasers or peels. However, it may not be suitable for those with active acne, infections, or certain skin conditions. A consultation is always recommended.

How Much Does Microneedling Cost?

Microneedling prices vary based on location, provider, and treatment area. On average:

• $350 per treatment (without PRP)

• $650 total (microneedling with PRP)

• $75 (Neck add-on)
