What Does Microneedling Treat? 10 Reasons For Microneedling Mricroneedling FAQ The Recovery Period Why Choose Me?

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling in Orlando at Oppenheimer Plastic Surgery is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny sterilized needles to create micro-injuries to the skin. This triggers your body’s own healing system to create new collagen and elastin, providing solutions for a number of skin issues. Also known as collagen induction therapy, the procedure is minimally invasive and can treat skin problems such as acne scars and fine lines using your body’s own collagen production for firmer and smoother skin. Most microneedling procedures are done on the face to deal with scars, large pores, and wrinkles, but they can also smooth out skin conditions and stretch marks on the neck, hands, and other areas of the body.

What To Expect During Your Microneedling Procedure

For your microneedling in Orlando, I first numb the skin with a topical numbing cream. I then cleanse the skin. Using hyaluronic acid or PRP (your own platelet-rich plasma), the skin is then punctured with small and sterile needles using what looks like a pen. The pen is moved evenly across your skin during your treatment so that your new skin will grow evenly. The punctures are like pinpricks, and they only enter at the surface level. In fact, you probably won’t feel the pinpricks because of the topical lidocaine used before the procedure.

​Am I a candidate for microneedling?

If you have certain skin issues and are in good physical health, you are a good candidate for a microneedling procedure based on your individual needs. I will evaluate your skin and discuss with you the best way to get your desired outcome, likely combining microneedling with skin care products to be used at home.

Is microneedling painful?

There is minimal to no pain when it comes to undergoing a microneedling procedure. There is really no downtime except for minor skin irritation right after your treatment. Pinkness and a little bit of dry flaky skin for a day or two is expected.

Is microneedling effective?

When performed by me, your nurse practitioner in Orlando, microneedling can effectively decrease fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, among other issues. Microneedling is surprisingly effective in many ways for people at different stages of their lives. Skin feels tight, youthful, and fresh as soon as a few days afterward.

What results can I expect from microneedling?

You should start to see results within a couple of days after your procedure. Your skin works pretty quickly to create and rejuvenate new tissue. You may require a few sessions over several months to get your desired results. The maintenance treatments can prevent further damage and improve your results. Your final look will be the softened appearance of lines and marks, pores, and fine wrinkles.
