At Genesis Lifestyle Medicine in Sioux Falls, SD, microneedling is an advanced treatment designed to address various skin concerns, including acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone. This minimally invasive procedure stimulates collagen production, promoting healthier, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with little to no downtime.

Stimulate Natural Collagen for Youthful Skin

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses a device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. These tiny injuries activate the body’s natural repair mechanisms, boosting the production of collagen and elastin. The result is smoother skin, diminished scars and fine lines, and improved skin texture. Microneedling can be performed on several areas, including the face, neck, and décolletage, helping to restore a youthful glow.

Microneedling Helps Treat:

  • Acne scars
  • Wrinkles and fine lines
  • Hyperpigmentation and uneven tone
  • Enlarged pores
  • Sun damage
  • Stretch marks
  • Rough skin texture
  • Age spots and freckles
  • Surgical and traumatic scars

How Microneedling Works

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, involves creating small, controlled punctures in the skin with a specialized device. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural repair mechanisms, boosting collagen and elastin production, essential proteins responsible for the skin’s structure and elasticity. As the skin repairs itself, it becomes tighter, smoother, and more evenly toned. This process enhances skin texture and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation issues.

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment

Before your microneedling session at Genesis Lifestyle Medicine, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. A trained specialist then uses a handheld microneedling device to create micro-injuries in the treatment area. You may experience a mild prickling sensation during the procedure, but discomfort is generally minimal. The entire treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Afterward, a soothing serum is applied to help calm the skin and promote healing.

Recovery and Aftercare

After microneedling, you may experience mild redness, swelling, and sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn. These side effects generally fade within 24 to 48 hours. It’s essential to keep your skin hydrated and protect it from sun exposure during this time. Some patients may experience slight peeling as the skin begins to heal and renew itself. You can return to your daily routine almost immediately, with minimal downtime required.

Results

You may notice an improvement in your skin's texture and tone within a few days of your microneedling treatment. However, collagen production continues over the next few weeks, leading to more significant improvements over time. For optimal results, 3 to 6 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart are typically recommended. Results can last several months, and regular maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months will help keep your skin looking youthful and refreshed.

Microneedling FAQs

Is microneedling painful?

Most patients tolerate microneedling well. A numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort, though you may feel a slight prickling sensation.

How long does the procedure take?

Microneedling sessions usually last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.

How should I prepare for microneedling?

Avoid sun exposure, tanning, and harsh skincare products for at least 24 hours before your appointment. Come to your session with clean, makeup-free skin.

What can I expect after the treatment?

After microneedling, your skin may appear red and feel slightly swollen, much like a sunburn. These side effects typically subside within a day or two.

When can I start wearing makeup again?

It’s best to wait at least 24 hours after microneedling before applying makeup to allow your skin time to heal.

How many sessions will I need?

For optimal results, most patients require 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months can help extend the results.
