Rejuvenate and Revive

What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a procedure aimed at promoting cell turnover as well as collagen and elastin formation within your dermis. This tool provides a controlled vertical skin injury through the use of a contained microarray array of needles. The surface is left largely intact, while the depth of treatment is paramount when tailoring the treatment plan to meet your goals. The skin injury and resulting stimulation of wound healing leads to an increase in the extracellular matrix and fibroblast activity. Your skin initially looks better through immediate edema or swelling, followed by the desired endpoint of tightening due to an increase and improvement in collagen. Ultimately, this supports skin health and appearance through the renewal of a more resilient, youthful skin architecture.

Microneedling at Brobst Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics

We are here to support you and help you achieve your goals. Dr. Brobst and our master aesthetician Lauren, are committed to positive results while limiting anxiety and discomfort. You may be put off by the term "microneedling" because of the associated use of needles. However, these microarrays of needles are very small and are additionally camouflaged within the housing of the device. We also provide comfort measures and find it to be a well-tolerated procedure for most patients. If you are considering this procedure and would like to sit down for a chat, we are happy to help. If Microneedling is not the right treatment for your needs, we can provide a customized treatment plan that better suits your needs. Contact us if you would like to learn more.

Improve your skin

What can microneedling do?

Microneedling is a multitasking powerhouse for your skin. By stimulating your skin's natural collagen and elastin production, microneedling creates noticeable improvements over time, softening fine lines, smoothing acne scars, and boosting your skin's overall glow. Here's what makes microneedling so effective:

Softens Fine Lines and Wrinkles: It helps smooth out those little signs of aging, making your skin look refreshed and youthful.
Improves Acne Scars: Whether you've battled acne in the past or are dealing with scars, microneedling helps soften and reduce their appearance.
Enhances Skin Texture and Tone: Uneven skin or dullness? Microneedling revitalizes your complexion, leaving it smoother and more radiant.
Versatile Application: Microneedling isn't just for the face—it can be used on the neck, décolletage, and other areas where skin could use a boost.

The results aren't instant but build beautifully with time and consistency. Many patients pair microneedling with treatments like injectables or PRP to amplify the effects, creating a more comprehensive approach to skin health.

Rejuvenate and Restore

WHAT AESTHETIC ISSUES CAN MICRONEEDLING ADDRESS?

Microneedling has become a skincare favorite — and for good reason. By creating tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, helping your skin look smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Here's what microneedling can do for your skin:

Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Say goodbye to those early signs of aging with collagen-powered smoothing.
Minimize Acne Scars and Other Scars: This treatment softens the look of scars, helping you feel more confident in your skin.
Even Out Skin Tone and Pigmentation: It stimulates turnover that works wonders on superficial discoloration, sun damage, and melasma.
Refine Pores: Tired of visible pores? Microneedling helps them appear smaller and less noticeable.
Tackle Stretch Marks: While typically used on the face, microneedling can also work its magic on the body.

Think of it as a refresh button for your skin—perfect for when you want noticeable results without a lengthy recovery.

Empowering Beauty

WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR MICRONEEDLING?

Microneedling is a go-to treatment for anyone looking to refresh their skin, enhance texture, or tackle pesky issues like acne scars or fine lines. If you've been searching for a solution that feels natural and gives your skin a boost without downtime, this might just be it. You're likely a great candidate if you:

Want smoother, more radiant skin without invasive procedures.
Are dealing with fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, or mild scarring.
Have healthy skin and realistic expectations about gradual, natural-looking improvements.

While microneedling is safe for most people, those with active skin conditions or a history of keloid scars should avoid this treatment. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding should also wait to start treatment. During your consultation, we'll walk through your skin goals and determine the best plan tailored just for you.

Unleashing Your Skin’s Potential

YOUR MICRONEEDLING PROCEDURE

During a microneedling treatment, your practitioner will use a microneedling device, a pen-like tool with an array of fine needles on its surface, to create tiny punctures in the skin. The needles can range in size from 0.5 to 3 millimeters in length, depending on the specific treatment and the area being treated. The device is moved over the skin in a stamping motion, creating a grid-like pattern of micro-injuries. Once completed, we'll review post-procedure instructions with you, and ointment is applied prior to leaving.

Microneedling Recovery, Results, and Aftercare

After the treatment, your skin may appear red

After the microneedling treatment your skin may appear red and slightly swollen or have pinpoint bleeding. These effects usually resolve quickly, within hours to a few days depending on the depth of treatment. Some people may experience mild skin irritation, dryness, or itching. It is essential to follow the instructions provided by Brobst Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics, which will include avoiding sun exposure, using an ointment or moisturizer, and avoiding certain skin care products for a few days.

You should also avoid picking at or scratching the treated area. We are here to answer questions during the recovery period, but it is crucial to follow the aftercare instructions to minimize the risk of infection and other complications. Most people with lighter treatments return to their daily activities immediately after the treatment, although avoiding strenuous exercise or activities that may cause sweating for a few days is generally recommended. Multiple sessions are frequently utilized to achieve your desired results. The frequency and number of treatments we decide upon will depend on your skin concerns. In general, we wait four to six weeks between treatments during the initial 6-month corrective phase to allow the skin to heal and recover fully. However, the skin's healing process may vary from person to person, and we will make changes as indicated.

Maintaining your microneedling results

The frequency of our microneedling maintenance treatments depends

The frequency of our microneedling maintenance treatments depends on what we are treating, what kind of environmental factors are contributing to skin damage, and how well the skin is cared for afterward. Some people benefit from more frequent treatments, while others may only need a treatment done every 6 - 12 months for maintenance.
