At ProDerm Skin & Surgery, we offer microneedling as a safe, minimally invasive treatment to refresh and rejuvenate the skin. The treatment works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin with fine needles, which signals the body’s natural healing response to activate, stimulating collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother texture, improved tone, and healthier-looking skin.
Treatment Overview
Discomfort: Most patients describe the treatment experience as mildly uncomfortable. To minimize discomfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment.
Downtime: Mild redness or sensitivity for 1–3 days on average.
Results: Improvements typically become noticeable within about one month as new collagen develops.
Sessions: A series of 3 or more treatments is usually recommended for best results. These treatments may be further supplemented with ongoing maintenance as needed.
