Pump the Breaks on Skin Aging with Microneedling Treatments at BellaNess Med Spa
Skin aging is the most common reason for collagen decline which results in volume loss and skin laxity. If you’re looking for a long-lasting cosmetic procedure to treat skin concerns and improve skin elasticity, microneedling treatment may be the minimally invasive procedure that you need.
Consult with our reliable aesthetic and medical professionals here at BellaNess Med Spa, whether microneedling treatment is the right option for you. Let’s discuss an appropriate treatment plan that fits your needs by reaching out to our aesthetic clinic and medical spa.
Microneedling: The Answer to Smoother, Firmer, and Even-toned Skin
Microneedling procedure uses pinpricks to encourage collagen production underneath the skin, resulting in new skin tissue with improved skin tone and skin texture. This percutaneous collagen induction procedure results in new collagen-rich tissue, which helps make the skin look firmer and plumper.
Microneedles or tiny sterilized needles are used to prick the skin. The small wounds created by the microneedles result in enhanced production of collagen and elastin for healing and rejuvenating your skin. Because of the process discussed, microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy.
Compared to laser treatment, which is also considered minimally invasive, microneedling is actually considered a safer treatment option. Laser therapy uses laser heat to eliminate skin imperfections and resurface the skin. The heat emitted by lasers can affect your skin pigmentation.
Benefits of the Collagen Induction Therapy
Microneedling treatment is a minimally invasive way to rejuvenate and plump up your skin with very minimal discomfort. The best benefit of microneedling is its affordability compared with laser treatments, which allows you to pay less to achieve youthful skin and reduce acne scars.
The treatment can be adjusted to fit each person’s skin needs to effectively address skin concerns. Other benefits of microneedling include:
- Reduces enlarged pores
- Reduces stretch marks
- Reduces sun damage
- Reduces the appearance of acne scars and other forms of scarring
- Improves skin elasticity by eliminating fine lines and wrinkles
- Addresses hyperpigmentation
- Smoothens uneven skin tone
- Promotes hair growth
Maximizing Microneedling Effectiveness: Treatments to Combine with Microneedling

Safety of Microneedling Treatments
Microneedling is generally safe and minimally invasive. A board-certified dermatology doctor or microneedling specialist performs microneedling in their office, which ensures its safety.
But similar to all cosmetic procedures and non-invasive treatments, microneedling still carries certain risks and adverse effects. The microneedles used during the procedure can cause slight injury to the skin.
Although the skin’s response to this slight injury is its improved collagen stimulation, it may still cause damage to the layers of the skin affected, which can lead to:
- Minor skin irritation
- Redness or discoloration
More severe side effects of microneedling include:
- Bleeding
- Peeling
- Infection
- Bruising
- Allergic reaction
For severe side effects, you need to immediately call your doctor to avoid further adverse effects and complications.
FAQs for Microneedling
Q: Who can have microneedling treatments?
A: If you’re in good health but your skin concerns haven’t really improved from home treatments recommended by your dermatologist, or other procedures didn’t work on you, you may be a candidate for microneedling treatments.
Microneedling procedure is usually treated as a final option before more intensive, drastic cosmetic surgery procedures are considered. This emphasizes the importance of consulting with a dermatologist to know if this treatment is the right fit for you.
If you have had radiation therapy, then you are discouraged from having microneedling treatments. Similarly, if you have the following, then you may not be an ideal candidate for microneedling treatment:
- Psoriasis, eczema, and similar skin conditions
- Open wounds
- Active acne
- History of skin scars
Microneedling is also not recommended if you are currently taking Accutane (i.e, isotretinoin), because it may increase the risk of having complications such as scarring. You can only have microneedling after 6 months of discontinuing the medication.
Q: What are the target areas for microneedling?
A: Most commonly, microneedling is used on the face, but it can also be used on other parts of the body such as the stomach or thighs. Other than wrinkles and uneven skin texture, microneedling can also be used to treat stretch marks and scarring. There are also instances where microneedling is combined with fillers.
Q: How long does each microneedling session last?
A: An average microneedling session may last up to 2 hours. First, a topical anesthetic will be applied to the treatment area. The process of applying anesthetic to the treatment site can last about 45 minutes to 1 hour. The microneedling process itself will take up to 30 minutes, which will be finished off with an application of either a calming treatment or growth serum.
Q: How many treatment sessions are required for Microneedling?
A: If you want to maintain your treatment results, you will probably need more than one session and perhaps maintenance treatments. Together with your doctor, you will develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.
Your aesthetic provider may recommend about 4 to 6 treatment sessions depending on the severity of your skin concern, as well as the goals you have set while making your treatment plan.
Q: When will results be visible after microneedling treatment?
A: Microneedling isn’t a quick fix like other non-invasive treatments. Because it stimulates natural collagen production to heal the skin after small injuries are made, it may take a while to notice the results. Additionally, both the results and healing time may take days or weeks depending on your body’s reaction to it.
