What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic technique that utilizes tiny, sterile needles to induce controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This innovative treatment, also known as collagen induction therapy, stimulates the body’s inherent healing mechanisms, promoting the production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that play a crucial role in maintaining skin firmness, elasticity, and a youthful look.
At Ageless Health Institute, we use state-of-the-art microneedling devices to deliver precise, customized treatments tailored to each patient’s unique skin concerns. Our advanced technology allows us to adjust needle depth and treatment intensity, ensuring optimal results for various skin types and conditions.
Some key features of microneedling include:
A minimally invasive treatment with virtually no downtime required
Safe and effective for diverse skin types and tones
Customizable treatment intensity for various skin concerns
Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling works by harnessing the body’s innate ability to heal itself. Here’s a breakdown of the process:
Micro-injury creation
The microneedling device creates thousands of tiny, controlled punctures in the skin’s surface.
Collagen induction
These micro-injuries prompt the body’s healing response, which boosts the production of new collagen and elastin fibers.
Skin regeneration
As the skin heals, it replaces damaged tissue with new, healthy skin cells, improving texture and tone.
Enhanced product absorption
These micro-channels facilitate deeper penetration of topical skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness.
Continued improvement
The collagen remodeling process continues for several weeks after treatment, leading to progressive improvements in skin quality.
The microneedling procedure at Ageless Health Institute is typically quick and comfortable. We apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure, prioritizing your comfort throughout the treatment. During the session, you may feel a slight prickling sensation as the device moves across your skin. Most patients find this tolerable, and the procedure usually takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling costs at Ageless Health Institute can differ based on various factors, including the size of the area to be treated and the number of sessions recommended to address your particular skin concerns.
We offer package deals to help make your treatment more affordable. During your consultation, we will offer a customized quote based on your specific concerns and treatment approach, along with flexible financing options to help achieve your skin rejuvenation goals.
The required number of treatments can vary based on your specific skin issues and goals. We suggest 3 to 6 sessions for optimal results, with each treatment spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Most individuals report that microneedling is more mildly uncomfortable than painful. We prioritize your comfort by applying a topical numbing cream before the treatment begins. The sensation is often compared to a light prickling or sandpaper-like feeling on the skin.
You might notice mild redness and swelling, akin to a sunburn, lasting 24 to 48 hours. Your skin may feel tight and rough for a few days as it heals. Wearing SPF to protect your skin from sun exposure during the recovery period is essential.
Results from microneedling treatments can last several months to a year or more, depending on your skin condition and how well you protect it from sun damage. Touch-up treatments every 6-12 months can help prolong the results.
While microneedling is generally safe, potential side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort. Complications like infection or changes in skin pigmentation are uncommon, but they can happen. Following pre- and post-treatment instructions carefully can minimize these risks.
Microneedling can work synergistically with other therapies, including PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy, chemical peels, or particular topical treatments, for enhanced results. Our skin care specialists can design a customized treatment plan that blends these complementary procedures to effectively address your unique skin concerns.
For optimal results from microneedling, avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks leading up to your treatment. Discontinue the use of retinoids and other photosensitizing medications as advised by your provider. On the day of treatment, come with clean, makeup-free skin.
