Revitalize your skin with microneedling at Optimal Well MD. This minimally invasive treatment stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture and reduce fine lines, acne scars, and stretch marks. Microneedling is also effective for treating hyperpigmentation and sun damage, helping you achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion.
Boost Collagen Production & Revitalize Your Skin
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that uses tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. The result is firmer, smoother skin with improved texture and tone. Microneedling effectively treats various skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation. It is suitable for most skin types and can be performed on the face, neck, and other areas to enhance overall skin appearance.
Microneedling is Best For:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Stretch marks
- Hyperpigmentation and sunspots
- Uneven skin texture and tone
- Enlarged pores
- Skin laxity (loose or sagging skin)
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine, sterile needles. These tiny punctures stimulate the skin’s natural wound-healing response, triggering the production of collagen and elastin—proteins essential for skin structure and elasticity. The micro-injuries also promote cell turnover, allowing for improved skin texture and tone. As collagen levels increase, the skin becomes firmer and smoother, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other imperfections. Microneedling also enhances the skin’s ability to absorb topical treatments, further boosting its rejuvenating effects.
Benefits of Microneedling:

Boost Your Results With These Add-Ons…
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Enhance your microneedling results with PRP, a treatment that harnesses your body’s own healing properties to intensify skin rejuvenation. After a small amount of your blood is drawn, it’s processed in a centrifuge to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which is packed with growth factors and proteins that accelerate tissue repair. When applied during microneedling, PRP penetrates deep into the microchannels created by the needles, amplifying collagen production, speeding up recovery, and promoting smoother, firmer skin.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)
PRF offers a more long-lasting alternative to PRP by using a higher concentration of growth factors, white blood cells, and stem cells. PRF is processed at a lower speed, resulting in a fibrin matrix that releases growth factors more slowly over time. This slow release helps prolong the healing and regenerative effects, making PRF ideal for deep skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation. When combined with microneedling, PRF can address more advanced skin concerns and produce results that continue to improve over weeks.
How is Microneedling Administered?
The microneedling treatment begins with cleansing the skin, followed by applying a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort. A microneedling device equipped with fine, sterile needles is then gently moved across the treatment area, creating tiny punctures in the skin’s surface. The entire process typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. After the treatment, a soothing serum or PRP/PRF may be applied to enhance results and aid healing.
What is the Recovery Process?
After microneedling, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or slight sensitivity, similar to a sunburn. These side effects usually subside within 24-48 hours. Downtime is minimal, and most people can resume normal activities the same or the next day. However, you should avoid direct sun exposure, strenuous activities, and harsh skincare products for a few days. Keep your skin moisturized and apply sunscreen daily to protect the treated area.
What Results Can I Expect?
You can expect to see initial improvements in skin texture and tone within a week after your microneedling treatment as your skin begins to heal and regenerate. However, most people need 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, depending on their skin concerns, for optimal results. The results are cumulative and improve with each session. To maintain your results, periodic maintenance sessions are recommended every 6-12 months.
