Microneedling Q&A

What is microneedling?

Microneedling at Florida Dermatology Associates uses tiny needles to make micro-punctures in your skin. Doing so stimulates natural cell regeneration, including collagen and elastin production. Microneedling is an effective way to smooth your skin and make it look and feel younger.

What are the benefits of microneedling?

Some of the many benefits you can expect when choosing microneedling at Florida Dermatology Associates include:

• Younger-looking skin
• Smoother, tighter skin
• Skin revitalization
• Reduced signs of aging
• Fewer lines and wrinkles

Microneedling at Florida Dermatology Associates gives your skin a healthy glow without surgery, pain, or downtime. It’s a natural treatment that offers exceptional anti-aging results.

Is microneedling right for me?

To find out if microneedling is the right aesthetic treatment for you, the Florida Dermatology Associates experts review your medical history, examine your skin, and discuss your desired outcome. They tailor each cosmetic treatment to match your needs and beauty goals.

What should I expect during microneedling?

The first step of microneedling is to numb the treatment area to make sure you avoid discomfort. While you relax in a comfortable chair, your dermatology specialist uses a hand-held device to apply tiny needles to your skin and make micro-punctures in it. 

The length of time each treatment lasts depends on the size of the treatment area, but could take about 30-60 minutes. Your specialist may apply a topical ointment to your skin afterward. 

What happens after the procedure?

After microneedling treatment, your skin will be red, swollen, or tender for a short time. Keep the treatment area clean and always protect your skin from the sun. Avoid wearing makeup until your specialist gives you the OK. 

Over time, as treated skin heals, you can expect smoother, younger-looking, revitalized skin with a healthy glow. 

Scheduling repeat microneedling treatments spaced over time is the one of the best ways to maintain younger-looking skin long term. The Florida Dermatology Associates team offers additional cosmetic procedures to enhance your results. When they personalize your treatment plan, they may recommend more than one type of cosmetic procedure.
