Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is part of our comprehensive skincare and aesthetic treatments. Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to rejuvenate and refresh your complexion, harnessing your skin’s own natural regenerative capabilities.
Our skilled professionals utilize a specialized handheld device equipped with ultrafine, sterile needles to gently create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. To ensure your comfort, we first apply a topical numbing cream, making the treatment experience as relaxing and painless as possible. These tiny punctures initiate a natural wound-healing response, stimulating your body to produce increased amounts of collagen and elastin—two vital proteins that contribute to healthy, vibrant, youthful-looking skin.
Microneedling can help you achieve noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimize acne scars, and increase overall skin firmness and elasticity. For optimal results, we typically recommend multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart, customized to your unique skincare needs and goals.
This treatment is safe for various skin types and requires minimal downtime, though you may experience temporary redness, mild swelling, or sensitivity immediately following your session. At Stone Ridge Wellness and Aesthetics, we are dedicated to providing personalized, effective treatments to help you attain healthy, glowing skin without the need for invasive procedures.
Microneedling is one of our most popular and effective treatments for skin rejuvenation. This minimally invasive cosmetic procedure uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-punctures in the skin, stimulating natural collagen production and promoting revitalized, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. While microneedling is safe and effective for most skin types, our team understands that every individual’s skin is unique, and suitability can vary based on skin characteristics and sensitivities.
Our skilled aesthetic professionals at Stone Ridge Wellness and Aesthetics are highly experienced in performing microneedling on diverse skin tones and types, including darker complexions. Microneedling typically poses minimal risk of pigmentation changes when performed properly; however, we take special precautions and customize each treatment to minimize any potential risk of hyperpigmentation or scarring.
For individuals with sensitive skin or conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or active acne, our specialists will carefully assess your skin prior to treatment to determine if microneedling is the appropriate option or if an alternative therapy might better suit your needs. Additionally, we advise anyone with active infections, open wounds, or a history of keloid scarring to consult with our experienced skincare professionals to determine the safest and most effective treatment approach.
Prior to microneedling, we review your medical history and current medications to ensure treatment is performed safely, and we may advise temporarily pausing certain medications when necessary.
If you’re considering microneedling, schedule a personalized consultation at Stone Ridge Wellness and Aesthetics. Our team of qualified aesthetic experts will evaluate your individual skin concerns and tailor a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your skincare goals safely and effectively.
The number of microneedling sessions required to achieve noticeable results can vary based on factors such as your individual skin type, specific skin concerns, and desired aesthetic outcomes. Typically, our patients begin to see visible improvements after approximately 2 to 3 sessions, with optimal results usually emerging after completing a series of about 4 to 6 treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.
For patients seeking treatment for mild skin concerns such as fine lines, minor scars, and uneven skin tone, fewer sessions may be enough to achieve satisfying results. Conversely, deeper scars, more pronounced wrinkles, or significant hyperpigmentation may require additional treatments to achieve the desired outcome. After completing your initial series, we generally recommend maintenance sessions every six months to one year to sustain your enhanced skin condition.
At Stone Ridge Wellness and Aesthetics, our skincare specialists provide personalized consultations to carefully evaluate your individual skin concerns and goals. We will create a tailored treatment plan designed specifically for your needs, helping you achieve radiant, healthier-looking skin.
Microneedling is one of our premier minimally invasive cosmetic treatments designed to rejuvenate and enhance your skin naturally. Our skilled medical professionals carefully create controlled micro-injuries to your skin, stimulating your body’s natural healing process. This advanced technique effectively boosts collagen and elastin production, key elements that lead to healthier, younger-looking skin.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles:
Microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. This helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles caused by aging, facial expressions, or sun exposure, resulting in firmer, more youthful skin.
Acne Scars and Other Types of Scarring:
The treatment effectively reduces the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and trauma-related scars by encouraging skin regeneration. Over time, the skin becomes more even in tone and texture.
Hyperpigmentation and Age Spots:
Microneedling can break up excess pigment in the skin, reducing dark spots, sunspots, and melasma. This leads to a more uniform and radiant skin tone.
Uneven Skin Tone and Dullness:
By improving blood circulation and encouraging cell turnover, microneedling brightens the complexion and balances skin tone, helping to eliminate dull or tired-looking skin.
Enlarged Pores and Rough Skin Texture:
As collagen builds within the skin, pores appear smaller and skin texture becomes smoother and more refined.
Stretch Marks:
Commonly found on the abdomen, thighs, or arms, stretch marks can be visibly softened and reduced through microneedling’s ability to restore skin elasticity and stimulate new tissue growth.
Overall Skin Rejuvenation:
Microneedling enhances the skin’s resilience, hydration, and vibrancy, promoting a refreshed and revitalized look without the need for invasive surgery.
