Microneedling
Promote your skin’s natural healing process through microneedling. Whether you’re seeking microneedling for acne management or to address wrinkles and fine lines, this rejuvenating skincare procedure can unveil a smoother, tighter, and more radiant complexion.
How It Works
Microneedling, also referred to as collagen induction therapy, operates by deliberately generating tiny, controlled injuries on the surface of the skin using a handheld instrument equipped with fine needles. These minute injuries initiate the skin’s innate healing mechanism, prompting the synthesis of collagen and elastin. Collagen imparts resilience and framework to the skin, while elastin enables it to flex and regain its shape. As the skin undergoes self-repair, fresh collagen and elastin fibers emerge, culminating in skin that is smoother, more toned, and radiates a youthful appearance.
What It Treats
Microneedling, in the realm of skincare, proves its versatility by addressing a wide range of skin issues and imperfections. It effectively targets concerns such as acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, skin laxity, stretch marks, lackluster and uneven skin texture, as well as the visible signs of aging.

Some Frequently Asked
Questions.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure designed to rejuvenate the skin. It employs a specialized device equipped with fine needles to create tiny micro-tears on the skin’s surface. These micro-tears trigger the skin’s innate healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin. By using microneedling to address issues such as scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and other imperfections, you can enhance your appearance and reveal smoother, more youthful skin.
Many individuals typically notice enhanced skin quality within a few weeks following their initial microneedling treatment. However, the full results of microneedling may take as long as three to six months to become fully evident. To achieve the best possible outcomes from microneedling, it is advisable to undergo multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart.
Following your microneedling treatment, it is advisable to steer clear of sun exposure, excessive sweating, skincare products containing AHA and retinol, as well as applying makeup for a week. This precautionary measure will facilitate the healing and recovery process of your skin.
Certainly! At El Paso Dermatology, our dedicated team places safety as the utmost priority to guarantee a pleasant experience for our valued guests. Our microneedling procedure employs needles that are meticulously cleaned and sterilized, ensuring the highest safety standards. El Paso Dermatology adheres to rigorous protocols for device sterilization and maintenance, always putting the well-being and comfort of our clients first.
Microneedling usually results in minimal discomfort, often described as a gentle tingling or slight pricking sensation on the skin. Before the procedure, a topical numbing agent is applied to reduce any potential discomfort.
After your microneedling treatment, you can resume your regular daily activities without any concerns. It’s normal for your skin to exhibit some redness or mild inflammation following the session, but this typically diminishes within a day or two. During your recovery period, we advise refraining from using harsh skincare products, applying makeup, exposing your skin to direct sunlight, and using makeup.
