Microneedling Treatment at Elite Medspa in Lakewood Ranch

Boost Collagen Production for Healthier, More Radiant Skin

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that enhances skin texture and tone by stimulating collagen production. This advanced procedure is highly effective in reducing acne scars, minimizing stretch marks, and improving skin quality. It is frequently used in anti-aging treatments to smooth fine lines, restore skin elasticity, and diminish sun damage.

For people in good health who haven’t achieved desired results with treatments like chemical peels, microneedling is a promising alternative. Because this is considered a cosmetic procedure, it is generally not covered by insurance.

How Microneedling Works

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s natural healing process. These tiny punctures stimulate collagen and elastin production, leading to firmer, smoother, and more even-toned skin.

As your skin heals, new collagen-rich cells replace damaged tissue which creates noticeable improvement in texture and overall appearance.

Eclipse MicroPen Technology

We utilize the Eclipse MicroPen, an advanced microneedling device known for its precision and effectiveness. This cutting-edge technology, featured on The Doctors, delivers professional-grade results while minimizing downtime and discomfort.

The Microneedling Procedure

A pen-like device equipped with tiny, fine needles is passed over the skin, creating micro-injuries that are too small to be visible after the procedure. These controlled punctures allow for consistent skin rejuvenation across the treated area.

Before treatment, a topical anesthetic is applied approximately one hour in advance to maximize comfort. The procedure itself takes about 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

Commonly Treated Areas

Microneedling is most often performed on the face to address:

Acne scars

Age spots & sun damage

Fine lines & wrinkles

Large pores

Uneven skin tone

Reduced skin elasticity

Other types of scars

Additionally, microneedling can be highly effective in treating stretch marks, particularly on the abdomen and thighs, especially when paired with complementary treatments like fillers or PRP (platelet-rich plasma) therapy.

Is Microneedling Safe?

Microneedling is considered a safe and effective treatment for most individuals. However, mild side effects are common immediately after the procedure. These may include:

Temporary redness

Mild swelling or irritation

Skin sensitivity

These effects usually subside within a few days as the skin heals.

When to Contact Your Provider

While rare, certain side effects may require medical attention. Reach out to us if you experience:

Excessive bleeding or bruising

Signs of infection

Severe peeling or prolonged irritation

These effects usually subside within a few days as the skin heals.

Who Should Avoid Microneedling?

This treatment may not be suitable for individuals who:

Are pregnant
Have eczema, psoriasis, or other skin conditions
Have open wounds or active skin infections

Have a history of keloid scarring
Have undergone recent radiation therapy

Post-Treatment Care & What to Expect

Microneedling requires minimal recovery time, allowing most individuals to resume normal activities immediately after treatment. However, your skin will be in a sensitive state, so proper aftercare is essential for optimal results.

Key Post-Treatment Guidelines

Protect Your Skin from the Sun

UV exposure can interfere with healing. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to shield your skin.

Minimal Makeup Use

You can return to work or school the same day, but if redness occurs, wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup.

Expect Gradual Improvement

Skin regeneration happens over time, with visible improvements emerging within a few weeks.

Multiple Sessions May Be Needed

Depending on your skincare goals, you may require a series of treatments to achieve the best results.

Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your skin’s needs.

Preparing for Your Microneedling Session

For best results, be sure to follow these pre-treatment recommendations:

Avoid root hair removal methods like waxing or tweezing before treatment. Shaving is permitted but should be done at least 24 hours prior to your session.

Discontinue certain skincare products containing retinoids, hydroxy acids, or salicylic acid before treatment to minimize irritation.

Refrain from using blood-thinning medications like ibuprofen before the procedure unless otherwise directed by your provider.
