Microneedling
How Does Microneedling Work?
During microneedling, your provider uses tiny sterilized needles to prick the skin. The procedure is also called collagen induction therapy because it stimulates the production of elastin and collagen. As the skin heals, the result is a younger complexion and supple skin.
If you don’t like needles, you don’t have to worry as you will not even notice they are there. The SkinPen device is simply rolled over your skin and you won’t feel the pricks. Your skin will be numbed to ensure your comfort.
You can expect the microneedling procedure to take only 20 to 60 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. Depending on your condition, it is usually recommended you do four to six treatments to see the best results.
Benefits of Microneedling
Clinical studies show that four treatments once per month for four months increases elastin and collagen by 400%. In addition, you can expect the following benefits:
- Reduces the appearance of large pores
- Treats alopecia (hair loss)
- Improves acne
- Fades dark patches and spots (hyperpigmentation)
- Decreases the appearance of scars
- Improves the appearance of stretch marks
- Treats sun-damaged skin
- Corrects wrinkles and fine lines
- Improves skin elasticity
As you can see, many people can benefit from microneedling treatments. In addition to all these benefits, it is also more affordable than laser treatments. It is also preferred for dark skin tones as it does not change pigmentation.
The Future of BioFacials
Microneedling is also called a BioFacial treatment. At Sol Aesthetics, we offer microneedling in conjunction with other treatments. These include Hyaluronic Acid, plasma-rich platelets, and various types of serums.

What to Expect Pre and Post Treatments
During your consultation your provider will assess your skin, listen to your goals for your desired outcome. We have a lot of experience and knowledge and will suggest a plan that will get you the look you are going for. If you are taking certain medications such as acne remedies, topical retinoids, and ibuprofen, you will be asked to discontinue them. Also, you will be asked to avoid any procedures that cause sensitivity to the skin such as electrolysis or waxing.
