How does microneedling work?

Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create hundreds to thousands of precise micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, promotes tissue remodeling without scarring, and delivers long-lasting rejuvenation. Most patients can resume normal activities within 24 hours.

Microneedling: What to expect

Step 1

Patients arrive 30 minutes before their appointment to numb the treatment area. Your provider will review your skin goals, explain the procedure, cleanse your skin, and apply a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort.

Step 2

Once the numbing cream has taken effect, your provider will begin the microneedling treatment. Using the SkinPen device, they’ll gently glide over your skin for about 15 minutes. Most patients say it feels like a light vibration or gentle scratching.

Step 3

When the microneedling is finished, your provider will apply soothing serums or creams to help calm your skin. It’s common to notice some redness, warmth, or mild swelling (like a sunburn) for the first day or two.

Most patients resume normal activities right away, with any redness typically fading within 24–48 hours.

Who delivers this care?

How long do microneedling results last?

The duration of your results depends on many factors, which you and your provider will discuss. For acne scarring and signs of aging, the most common treatment cadence is 3 treatments, spaced 1 month apart. After this initial treatment window, most patients return for a treatment once every 6 months or 1 year.

Why did Tia select SkinPen as a device?

SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. It’s proven safe and effective, delivering results that last up to six months. It’s a quick and easy treatment with little to no recovery period. SkinPen is proven to improve the appearance of acne scars and wrinkles on the neck. It doesn’t rely on heat or chemicals, so the results are safe for all skin tones and types.

I’m not exactly sure what I need. How will my Care Plan be formulated?

How you address your skin care goals is a deeply personal choice. Your Tia provider is here to thoroughly understand your objectives and preferences, and take your whole health into account when considering results. At the start of every visit, you and your provider will align on your goals and your treatment plan, with you always in the driver’s seat.

Can I use insurance for microneedling?

This is a cosmetic service and therefore not covered by insurance. For more details on cost, see our Service List.

Is microneedling painful?

Most people describe the procedure as painless, and you’ll be instructed to arrive early so a topical numbing cream can be applied for your comfort.

Is there an ideal age for microneedling?

Microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for any age, designed to enhance the overall appearance of your skin. It can be tailored to address your unique skin concerns, making it ideal for both younger and more mature individuals looking to boost collagen production and promote faster cellular turnover.

Is there an ideal time for microneedling?

We recommend scheduling this treatment at least 2 weeks before any important life events, so your skin can fully recover and your results can become noticeable. Many patients enjoy microneedling during the summer when they take a break from chemical peels.
