What Is Microneedling?
Also called collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a nonsurgical treatment that activates the body’s natural mechanisms. It involves using a special device that creates micropunctures in the skin. While extremely fine, these punctures activate the body’s wound response. This creates a cascade of new collagen production and skin tightening.
Dr. Kauh uses microneedling to address cosmetic concerns such as:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Skin laxity
- Skin texture
- Acne scarring
- Pigmentation concerns
- Sun damage
- And more

Microneedling FAQs
What are the benefits of microneedling?
- Multiple Improvements: Microneedling can address specific concerns. But it also provides global improvements for each treated area. In addition to your chosen concerns, you will see overall boosts to your skin quality and appearance.

- Safety: When performed by a skilled, experienced specialist, microneedling is highly safe. It has been FDA approved for years.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
Choosing from a full suite of cosmetic treatments can seem challenging at first. But a consultation can help clarify which treatment is the ideal one for you. Microneedling is open to a wide range of patients who want to see notable skin improvements without surgery. However, if you have an active skin condition (e.g., an acne breakout), you may need to wait for it to resolve before having your session.
What are the benefits of microneedling?
Microneedling recovery is rapid and mild. Redness and swelling are normal for the first 24 to 48 hours. However, patients can wear makeup as early as 24 hours after treatment. While there is no real downtime required, many patients prefer to spend the first 24 hours back at home.
Additionally, you will want to take extra care of your skin for a few days. First, avoid any strenuous activity until the swelling resolves. Also, avoid factors that could irritate the skin, like excess sunlight or abrasive skin products.
When will I see my microneedling results?
Microneedling results come in two stages. Your initial results should become strongly visible within 2 to 4 weeks. From there, your body should continue to keep up collagen production. Your peak results should become apparent about 4 to 6 weeks after a session.
Some patients may require a multitreatment regimen to reach their full goals. Typically, this means about 3 to 5 visits spread over several weeks. Each session will build on the prior one’s results, further improving your skin.
How long do microneedling results last?
Many patients can see continued benefits for about 6 months after their completed treatment. However, that duration can depend on factors such as lifestyle elements, age, and individual health.
Some tips to prolong your microneedling results include:
- Skin Care: Keeping your skin clean, hydrated, and healthy will help prolong your results.
- Sun Protection: Excess unprotected exposure to sunlight can work against your results. Minimize time in direct sunlight, and always wear sunscreen.
- Health: Maintaining overall good health and a balanced diet will also promote better skin health long-term.
Can I repeat the treatment?
You absolutely can. All nonsurgical treatments provide temporary results. But when they do eventually fade, you can quickly come in for a touch-up treatment. The frequency can vary, but many patients benefit from a touch-up visit every 3 to 6 months to keep their skin in peak condition. You can also opt to try different skin treatments to experience different types of rejuvenation.
