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
Microneedling stimulates the skin’s own healing response by creating thousands of tiny, controlled punctures using fine sterile needles. This triggers the skin to produce new collagen and elastin — the building blocks of smooth, firm skin — making it an effective treatment for acne scarring, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. Following treatment, patients can expect mild redness and sensitivity similar to a light sunburn, which typically resolves within one to three days. A series of three to six sessions spaced several weeks apart produces the most meaningful, cumulative improvement, and results continue to develop for months after the final session as collagen remodeling progresses beneath the surface. Combining microneedling with PRP or targeted serums can further enhance and extend results.

Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients note mild-to-moderate discomfort during microneedling. A numbing cream is applied to reduce discomfort, helping to make the treatment easier to experience.

When can I expect to see the results of treatment?
