Microneedling in Millersville, MD

In the pursuit of more youthful, clearer skin, many people explore non-invasive treatment options for concerns like aging skin, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. While there are various methods available, microneedling has emerged as a treatment that can offer effective results.

At Maryland Plastic Surgery and PURE MedSpa in Millersville, MD, we specialize in customized skincare solutions. We use different devices such as SkinPen, Eclipse MicroPen EVO, Pixel8-RF, and more depending on your specific goals, your individual skin type, and the concerns you want to treat. You can schedule a consultation to find out what treatment is right for you.

What Is Microneedling? 

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses a device equipped with fine needles to puncture the skin’s surface. These small punctures trigger the body’s wound-healing process, encouraging collagen and elastin production. As a result, this treatment can address various skin issues, including fine lines, uneven texture, and enlarged pores.

What Is Microneedling With Radiofrequency?

Microneedling with radiofrequency, or RF microneedling, is an advanced form of the standard microneedling treatment. It incorporates the use of radiofrequency energy to further enhance collagen and elastin production. The RF energy heats the skin as the microchannels are created, immediately coagulating skin tissues and stimulating the production of these proteins over time. This combination provides not only the benefits of traditional microneedling but also the advantages of radiofrequency, which is particularly effective for targeting sagging skin, wrinkles, and more.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling performed at the PURE MedSpa helps to rejuvenate your skin by creating tiny microchannels in your skin using a device that contains a cluster of needles. This can prompt your skin to engage in its own natural repair mechanisms. This in turn stimulates new collagen formation. The treatment is typically performed with a motorized device that moves the needles in a controlled manner for uniform treatment. We customize our microneedling services to meet your specific skincare goals so that we can provide you with an effective, yet non-invasive solution for skin improvement.

What Can Microneedling Treat?

Fine Lines and Deep Wrinkles

Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, natural components of the skin that diminish as we age. The treatment can reduce the appearance of fine lines and deeper wrinkles, providing a more youthful look.

Acne Scars

One of the microneedling results we love is the improvement of acne scars. By promoting new collagen formation, microneedling for acne scars can lead to smoother, more even skin over time.

Stretch Marks

Among the many microneedling benefits is its potential to improve the appearance of stretch marks. The treatment can stimulate the skin’s natural repair mechanisms which can heal, restructure, and tighten skin that has been damaged by stretch marks.

Hyperpigmentation

Microneedling treatments can be effective in addressing hyperpigmentation. The process can disperse and break down excess pigment while encouraging the proliferation of healthier skin cells that match the surrounding skin.

Sagging Skin

Another microneedling benefit is its ability to tighten loose or sagging skin. The stimulation of collagen and elastin plus the coagulation of tissues provides a natural lifting effect.

Uneven Skin Texture and Large Pores

Microneedling can be effective in refining skin texture and reducing the size of large pores. By tightening the skin around the pores, it helps to create a smoother surface and minimize pore visibility.

Sun Damage

Finally, Microneedling can also be a solution for reversing the signs of sun damage. It can help to improve the uneven skin tone and texture often associated with prolonged sun exposure.

Where Can Microneedling Be Used?

Microneedling is most commonly performed on the face, neck, and décolletage, targeting areas prone to signs of aging or skin imperfections. However, its versatility extends beyond these regions. The treatment can also be applied to various parts of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, especially for addressing issues like stretch marks. This adaptability makes microneedling a comprehensive solution for multiple skin concerns across different areas of the body.

Microneedling FAQs

Is Microneedling Painful?

The treatment is painless, as it is performed only after a numbing cream has taken effect. During the treatment, you might feel a sensation similar to light scratching or warmth, as the needles create microchannels in the skin.

What Add-Ons Are Included in Our Microneedling Treatments?

In many cases, we combine our microneedling treatments with topical solutions — growth factors, antioxidants, and peptides for even better results. These add-ons are designed to enhance the effects of microneedling, providing a more comprehensive skincare solution.

How Is Professional Microneedling Different From Derma Rolling?

A motorized professional micro-needling pen with an adjustable length needle cartridge is used in our services to stimulate new collagen production. This level of control allows us to customize the treatment to your specific needs and helps prevent damage and tearing. This is very different from “dermal rollers” that some people are using at home. Microneedling offers a more precise and effective treatment and helps prevent tearing.

What Is the Downtime Associated With Microneedling?

There is typically about 24 hours of downtime with this medical-grade treatment. During this period, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and strenuous activities to help the skin heal properly. Resuming your regular skincare routine should be discussed with your provider to ensure optimal microneedling results.

What Is Recovery After Microneedling Like?

After the treatment, your skin might appear pink, similar to a mild sunburn. You may also notice pinpoint scabs and experience mild peeling, which are both normal reactions. These are mild and subside quickly as your skin heals.

How Many Microneedling Sessions Will I Need?

In order to see the best results, a series of treatments spaced out over several weeks or months is typically recommended. The number of sessions can vary depending on your individual skin goals. This will all be discussed during your consultation for microneedling services.

How Long Will My Microneedling Results Last?

The longevity of your microneedling treatment results will depend on several factors including your skin type, age, and the specific concerns being addressed. Maintenance sessions may be recommended to sustain the results over time.

Who Is the Right Candidate for Microneedling?

The right candidate for microneedling is generally someone who is in good health and has realistic expectations about the treatment outcomes. However, it may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions or those who are pregnant. A consultation is the best way to determine if microneedling is the right option for you.
