Microneedling is a specialized treatment that is regularly performed at Dermatology Consultants of Short Hills. Our providers find that it uses the body’s natural healing mechanisms to improve the skin’s appearance. With microneedling, patients can target imperfect skin and enhance its overall look, ensuring subtle changes over time. Learning more about microneedling starts with an education about what it is and how it works.

How does microneedling work?

At Dermatology Consultants of Short Hills, our providers describe microneedling as a way to stimulate your skin’s natural healing process. This is done by creating tiny punctures or “micro-injuries” in the top layer of skin using tiny needles on a roller or pen-like device. These micro-injuries trigger the release of growth factors that lead to increased collagen and elastin production, giving the results of smoother, plumper, younger-looking skin.

What is microneedling used for?

Microneedling is used to treat a variety of concerns, including the formation of fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and overall complexion improvement.

What can I expect during and after my microneedling treatment?

The treatment itself involves very minimal discomfort and downtime, making it a popular option for those seeking noticeable results without surgery. Results typically appear within 1-3 months after treatment as new collagen continues to form and firm the skin. With regular treatments, patients can enjoy continued improvements in their skin and maintain a more youthful, brilliant, and beautiful texture and tone!
