As we age, collagen production slows in our skin. This protein is the foundation of your skin, hair, and nails. Collagen can reduce the look of wrinkles, dark spots, acne, and other skin blemishes.
If collagen decreases as you age, how do you increase it again? One way is with microneedling, a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to stimulate cells into producing more collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer skin with fewer dark spots and blemishes and a more even skin tone.
Facial32 Dental Esthetics offers collagen-enhancing microneedling that will make your skin look amazing! Our services can treat scars, wrinkles, and dark spots on your face, making you look younger and feel more confident.
Microneedling uses very tiny, sterilized needles to prick the skin. These pricks stimulate the cells in the skin to respond by producing collagen to repair the pricks. Collagen is a structural protein, meaning it serves as a support for tissue and cells.
Consider collagen as the structural base, much like the foundation of a house. Collagen provides the structure for your healthy, new cells. Stimulating collagen growth stimulates new cell growth. Those new cells replace the old, damaged cells, making your skin look younger and smoother.
This is an excellent option for most skin types and skin textures. It’s minimally invasive and has few side effects. Each microneedling session is relatively short, and healing usually takes less than a week.

Imagine the difference microneedling can make for you!
Like all skin treatments, microneedling may not be suitable for everyone. Those with certain skin irritations or diseases should avoid microneedling. We don’t recommend it for immunocompromised patients, such as cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Patients may want to avoid microneedling if they have these skin conditions or illnesses:
As with any skincare, it’s crucial to consult a professional.
Your treatment will begin with us cleaning the area and applying a numbing cream that will make the procedure more comfortable. Once that has taken effect (usually within 30-45 minutes), we will begin your treatment with our Morpheus8 microneedling system. It makes your treatment more precise and more comfortable. Once finished, we apply a serum to encourage cell growth and soothe the treated area.
Each session lasts about 15-20 minutes, and most patients see the full results they want in 1-3 sessions. You should see a noticeable change in your skin within days. The full effect of the treatment should be visible within three weeks.
Microneedling can be a game-changer if you've been dealing with stubborn acne and are now dealing with the scars. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals seeking a non-surgical, minimally invasive solution to improve the appearance of their skin. It can help by stimulating collagen production, plumping, and smoothing the skin's surface.
Microneedling offers more than scar reduction. It also improves your skin's overall texture and tone, making it a versatile choice for those aiming to refresh their complexion. If you're weary of concealing persistent acne scars, this might be the solution you've been seeking.
Most patients can return to normal routine by the next day. We ask that you wait 1-2 days before applying makeup to the affected areas. Your skin will be highly sensitive to the sun for a few days, so applying sunscreen to protect your skin is crucial.
You may notice a bit of drainage in the first day or so. This is normal, and you can remove any drainage with clean gauze. You may also notice a bit of redness in the treatment areas. This is also normal and should disappear after a few days as your skin heals.
Microneedling can improve your skin, but the results may differ for each person. It's essential to approach this treatment with realistic expectations. It typically requires multiple sessions for significant results, and while it can be beneficial, it may not eliminate all skin imperfections.
Additionally, the degree of improvement may vary depending on individual factors. Microneedling can be a great option, but consult a qualified practitioner to discuss your needs and goals.
