This minimally invasive treatment can be used all over your body—from scalp to ankles— but is primarily used on the upper torso and face. This treatment has been shown to improve the appearance of scars, boost collagen, or encourage hair growth. Microneedling is also a standard treatment for fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, and stretch marks.

From one microneedling session alone, you will look plump, pink, and radiant for a couple of weeks. In the short-term, it plumps the skin and makes the skin look more luminous from the slight inflammation and very superficial swelling. Because the efficacy of the treatment comes from the skin healing itself, some people may experience lasting results after a few sessions. Microneedling has shown there is improvement over time of the surface area treated. Treating the skin with multiple sessions spaced at least one month apart can produce an increase in collagen and skin elasticity.
