What is Microneedling? 

Collagen induction therapy, more commonly known as microneedling, is a non-surgical solution aimed at improving scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, and irregular skin tone or texture. This treatment enhances the skin's natural healing process, making it an excellent stand-alone option or a complement to other procedures for those looking to rejuvenate their appearance and reverse signs of aging.

How Microneedling Works to Renew and Rejuvenate

Microneedling uses a handheld electronic pen with small needles to create microlesions in the dermis. These microlesions are perceived as injuries, triggering the body's natural healing response and collagen production. This minimally invasive process results in scarless wound healing with fewer side effects and shorter downtime than more invasive procedures. The treatment is tailored to your needs, and using serums or medical-grade formulas can enhance the results. Microneedling is effective for general rejuvenation and addressing specific skin concerns, including the following:

  • Scars caused by acne or chickenpox
  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Smile lines and crow's feet
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Brown spots and hyperpigmentation

Benefits of Microneedling for Scar Revision

Microneedling offers a minimally invasive approach specifically to scar revision using the same mechanisms mentioned above. By inducing controlled micro-injuries in the skin, the body’s healing response is activated and stimulates the production of fresh collagen and elastin. This process helps to break down old scar tissue and replace it with healthier, smoother skin. Whether dealing with acne scars, surgical scars, or other types of scarring, microneedling can significantly enhance your skin’s texture and appearance.

Boosting Your Benefits with RF TreatmentPhiladelphia Microneedling

Microneedling with Radiofrequency (RF) combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with the skin-tightening and collagen-boosting effects of RF energy. This innovative treatment uses ultra-fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface while delivering RF energy to the deeper layers. The RF energy heats the tissues, promoting collagen fiber contraction and enhancing skin tightening and rejuvenation. This dual-action approach effectively reduces fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture, diminishes scars, and boosts skin elasticity.

Are You a Candidate for Microneedling Treatments? 

Microneedling in Lancaster & Wayne, PA at Morgenstern Center is suitable for most individuals, making it a popular cosmetic treatment. It can address universal issues like sun damage, age wrinkles, and collagen loss. However, it is not recommended for patients with active lesions, sores, or acne until the skin is clear. While microneedling can help prevent these conditions from recurring, patients must wait until their skin is clear to undergo the treatment.

What to Expect After Microneedling

After a microneedling treatment, your skin will be inflamed. Icing the affected area can help reduce swelling, which should subside within two days. As the micro-injuries heal, the regeneration of skin cells will reveal improved skin texture and tone. The full results typically take four to six weeks to appear. Regular microneedling treatments can help maintain youthful results. We work closely with you to devise a plan that will give you optimal results.

Maintaining Your Microneedling Results

Your microneedling journey at the Morgenstern Center doesn't end with the procedure—it's the beginning of a transformation. Following the instructions provided by your practitioner is essential for optimal results. Avoid direct sunlight, wear sunscreen, and refrain from applying makeup immediately after the procedure. Periodic maintenance sessions can help sustain the benefits and preserve the youthful glow you've achieved.
