When it comes to innovative skincare treatments, microneedling is one of them. This form of treatment targets acne, scars, and wrinkles. Since its initial introduction in 1995, the science behind microneedling has steadily grown. Now, microneedling is seen as an effective facial rejuvenation treatment that can boost skin and leave it feeling plump and youthful. 



What is microneedling, how does it work, and is this treatment right for you? We will explore this now. The Studio Med Spa is proud to offer revolutionary microneedling treatments that leave patients satisfied and looking their best!

What is Microneedling? 

With age, our skin begins to produce less collagen. You may start to see signs of age in your skin with the new presence of additional wrinkles and fine lines. Not to mention, with the years, your skin may also have a few scars from acne and other events. Saggy aging skin can affect many people, especially when it comes to their self-esteem and how they view themselves. 

Microneedling is a minimally invasive form of skin rejuvenation treatment. Professional microneedling targets collagen production, which is what keeps skin looking healthy, youthful, and bouncy. This FDA-approved procedure aims to improve skin for many people of different ages. Many people enjoy microneedling because it’s minimally invasive and has little downtime. 

Not to mention, the effects on the skin are amazing! Many women and men alike partake in microneedling due to its results of healthier and firmer skin. 

How Does Microneedling Work? 

The microneedling procedure works by using a small pen-like tool to make pinpricks on the skin. These are very tiny pricks, so they shouldn’t be noticeable once the procedure is complete. The pinpricks from the procedure are meant to cause slight injury to the skin. While this can make any patient weary, this is the reason why microneedling is so effective. 

These tiny injuries to the skin motivate it to produce more collagen, which is what we want. The skin makes new collagen-rich tissue, which is even more firm and rich in tone and texture. Because the skin is being encouraged to make new tissue, there may be more collagen to help make skin firmer as well. 

Before getting started on your microneedling, there is usually a topical anesthetic applied to reduce any feelings of pain. After the procedure is done, a serum or calming treatment is also applied. In total, the actual microneedling process should only take about 30 minutes. 

Are There Any Side Effects? 

Many people wonder about the side effects of microneedling. Some of the most common side effects of this procedure include: 

• Minor skin irritation during the procedure 
• Some bruising 

Only in the most severe cases will people end up dealing with serious bleeding or infection. However, this is not the norm. Talk with an expert at The Studio Med Spa to learn more about microneedling and whether microneedling is the right choice for you. 

Is Microneedling Right For Me? 

Are you looking to target fine lines and other skin issues? How can you tell whether microneedling is right for you? Microneedling targets different problem areas on the skin, including: 

• Acne scars/ other shallow scars 
• Large pores 
• Reduced elasticity of the skin 
• Uneven skin tone 
• Age spots (also called sun spots) 
• Fine lines and wrinkles 

Skin that has been weathered by age and the elements may start to show it. Unfortunately, this can cause a lot of self-confidence issues with people. Microneedling has revolutionized the industry of skincare treatments by being a minimally invasive procedure that can leave skin looking and feeling refreshed and youthful, without having to go through the process of injectables. 

Overall Benefits of Microneedling 

Many patients enjoy the benefits of microneedling. These can be:

• Short procedure time 
• No need to have downtime
• Effective results 
• No risks of skin discoloration, making this treatment possible for people of different skin colors 
• Improving the appearance of skin 
• No maintenance required in the form of additional medications 

While microneedling results don’t last forever, they can offer a temporary solution to aging skin. The effects of microneedling can last from weeks to a month or two. If you’re looking to maintain the results of microneedling, you may need additional appointments every few months. However, speaking to a professional at The Studio Med Spa can help you learn more about what works for your specific situation.
