Microneedling is a skin resurfacing procedure that produces results similar to chemical peels. While peels remove the outer or deeper layers of skin microneedling uses a process that triggers the production of new collagen, improving elasticity and skin tone while erasing the damage of many skin conditions. In fact, microneedling is so effective at stimulating the underlying skin that it is sometimes used to treat certain types of hair loss, such as alopecia.

Micro-Needling Venice, FL
If you, like many patients, are hoping to improve the appearance of your skin without surgery or other invasive procedures, microneedling (sometimes spelled micro-needling) may be the right option for you. Microneedling leverages your body’s healing process to heal your skin from the damage caused by aging, sun exposure, acne, and more, making it a relatively natural solution for skin imperfections.

Microneedling Benefits
Microneedling is a versatile skin care treatment, offering a wide variety of benefits. Microneedling can:
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Help improve the appearance of acne scars and other scars that aren’t raised
- Increase the elasticity of your skin, making you look more youthful
- Make your pores look smaller by plumping the skin around the pores
- Give topical products better access to the deeper layers of your skin
- Improve the efficacy of acne medications and treatments
- Reduce inflammation in patients with rosacea
Unlike many other treatment options, microneedling is safe for patients with hyperpigmentation or melasma1.
Microneedling Versus Dermarolling
If you have heard of microneedling, you have likely heard of dermarolling. Dermarolling is a home microneedling procedure done using a wheel that pricks the skin of the epidermis. Microneedling is a more involved procedure that can be used to reach as deep as the dermis, helping to address serious skin issues such as sun damage and pigmentation. Treatments for home use slightly improve skin texture but are not as successful at improving the skin look and helping skin conditions as professional microneedling.
How Long before I see the results after microneedling?
After the skin has healed, many patients notice improvement right away and achieve their best results 2-4 weeks after their appointment. Your team at Venice Avenue Dermatology can help you understand what to expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny, sterilized needles to create micro-injuries in the skin.
This process stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin, improving skin texture, increasing fullness, and promoting the healing of scars and other skin concerns.
When the skin experiences controlled micro-injuries, the body enters its natural healing mode.
This healing response increases the production of proteins that plump the skin, heal scarring, brighten the complexion, and reverse signs of aging.
Microneedling works by safely triggering this natural repair process.
Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are essential for skin regrowth and healing.
This helps reduce fine lines, improve skin texture, and restore a more youthful appearance.
Before treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.
A microneedling device with fine needles is then used to create tiny punctures in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area, and up to 40 minutes may be needed for the numbing cream to take full effect.
Some patients see improvement after one or two treatments.
However, most patients achieve optimal results after four to five microneedling sessions.
Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Patients often experience plumper, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Results can last up to 12 weeks after treatment.
Many patients also notice improved skin tone, texture, and reduced appearance of scars.
Side effects are generally mild and temporary.
Common effects include redness and flushing, which typically fade within 24 to 48 hours.
Swelling may occur on the first day, and some patients may experience temporary breakouts or dry skin.
Overall, microneedling has significantly less downtime than many other cosmetic treatments.
Following post-treatment instructions is essential for best results.
Avoid activities that cause sweating for at least 72 hours.
Do not use retinol or vitamin C products for 48 hours after treatment.
Within three to four days, you may resume your regular cleanser and moisturizer.
Continue using sunscreen daily to protect your skin and maintain results.
