Microneedling in Wilmington, DE
Rejuvenate Your Skin with Collagen Induction Therapy
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that stimulates natural collagen production to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this procedure involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone are commonly treated with microneedling. It is a popular option in microneedling dermatology for its ability to rejuvenate the skin without surgery or extensive downtime. Many patients seek microneedling before and after results to achieve a smoother, more youthful complexion.

FAQS
It is suitable for anyone who wants to improve their skin texture, reduce scars, minimize wrinkles, or stimulate collagen production. It is safe for most skin types and can be used on the face, neck, scalp, and body. However, people with active skin infections, diseases, or wounds that don’t heal well should consult a professional before receiving microneedling treatment.
It usually takes patients a few days to a week to see an improvement in their skin texture and tone after microneedling therapy. Collagen production continues for several weeks, with the best results appearing after multiple sessions. Depending on your skin concerns, treatments may be recommended for optimal results.
Results from microneedling services can last several months, depending on factors like skin type, age, and skincare routine. Many patients opt for follow-up treatments every 4 to 6 months to maintain the benefits. Using proper skincare and sun protection can help extend the longevity of your results.
Microneedling has minimal downtime. Most patients experience mild redness and sensitivity after the procedure, similar to sunburn for 24 to 48 hours. Some may have slight swelling or peeling. These effects typically subside quickly, and makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours. Following proper aftercare instructions can minimize any discomfort and speed up healing.
Before microneedling treatment, avoid sun exposure, retinol, and harsh skincare products for a few days. Stay hydrated and arrive with clean skin. After the procedure, moisturize the skin, avoid direct sun exposure, and use a gentle cleanser. Avoid strenuous activities and excessive sweating for 24 hours to prevent irritation. Aftercare instructions will be given to you by your provider according to your skin type.
A microneedling therapy session typically begins with cleaning the skin and applying numbing cream to reduce discomfort. A specialized device with fine needles is then used to create micro-injuries in the skin. It takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete the procedure, depending on the treatment area. Patients may feel a mild tingling or scratching sensation, but it is generally well tolerated. After the session, a soothing serum or mask is applied to promote healing.
