Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. The result: effective remodeling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. Microneedling has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to safely and effectively treat facial acne scars for ages 22 and up.
Microneedling works for all skin types – dark to light. Microneedling procedures tend to cost less than alternatives. The cost varies depending on the size and number of treatment areas.

Natural Solution: Microneedling’s mechanical process is versatile:usable year-round with all skin types

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure performed in-office with little downtime – approximately 2-4 days depending on how quickly your body heals in general.
Unlike most alternatives, microneedling has been clinically shown to be effective for women and men with skin ranging from light to very dark. In addition, when you properly space treatments that are overseen by a physician, the procedures can be administered year-round.
What should I expect post-procedure? The skin will appear slightly pink to red immediately post-procedure, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Additionally, the most common treatment responses experienced were dryness, rough skin, tightness, redness, itching, peeling, discomfort, tenderness, and burning. These conditions resolved over a few days without any further complications. Call our office today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Chin to discuss whether microneedling is right for you!
