Microneedling

Introduction

Introduction to Microneedling

Imagine having smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin without using surgery or waiting months, possibly years, for skin care to achieve it. Microneedling is an advanced, non-invasive skin treatment designed to enhance your skin’s natural healing process and improve its overall texture and tone. By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling tackles common skin concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, large pores, and uneven skin tone.

Dunedin Plastic Surgery is conveniently located to provide microneedling to patients in St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Palm Harbor, and the greater Tampa Bay, FL area.

What is Microneedling?

This non-surgical, minimally invasive skin care treatment creates micro-punctures on the skin’s surface using a device with fine needles. The purpose of this is that by creating small micro-injuries across the surface of your face, your body’s natural healing process is triggered, which boosts collagen and elastin production to repair the skin and improve its overall appearance.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

This popular and effective treatment is great for individuals who want to tackle skin conditions and concerns such as acne and surgical scarring, stretch marks and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and even hair loss.

Patients who have received this treatment often say that their skin feels smoother and firmer, they look younger, and the downtime is minimal and easy. Many also like it because stimulating the skin has made their skin care products work more effectively and brought even longer-lasting results.

Who Are the Best Candidates for Microneedling?

Individuals looking for help from Dunedin Plastic Surgery in the greater Tampa Bay area to address skin issues and concerns may be great candidates if they:

  • Are you struggling to get rid of acne scarring, wrinkles, stretch marks, or other stubborn blemishes?
  • Have an uneven skin tone or pigmentation issues.
  • Do not have active skin infections, severe rosacea, or a history of keloid scarring.
  • Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • And are in good health overall.

Even if you are unsure if you fall into these categories, a consultation with Dr. Buck will help determine if microneedling is a good option.

What’s the first step?

As with any cosmetic procedure, you first want to consult with a professional such as Dr. Buck to learn more about the treatment and whether it’s a good fit for you. During your consultation at our Dunedin practice near Tampa Bay, Dr. Buck will ask questions and review your medical history, examine your skin’s quality and current state, understand your goals, and assess whether microneedling is the best option to tackle your concerns. If it is, Donna, our skilled esthetician, will put together a personalized treatment plan to address your skin issues best, provide additional details about the surgery, and ask any questions.

What to Expect on the Day of Microneedling?

When you come into Dunedin Plastic Surgery on the day of your treatment, you can expect the following:

  • Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure comfort.
  • Treatment: The microneedling device will be gently moved across your skin to create tiny punctures. The treatment typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the area being treated.
  • Post-Treatment: A soothing serum or hydrating mask may be applied to calm the skin and enhance results.

With this treatment, you’ll be able to go home the same day to continue your post-microneedling treatment.

Microneedling Recovery

We mentioned above that one of the benefits of microneedling is its speedy recovery time. It only takes about 24-48 hours for your skin to heal after microneedling has been done. You’ll experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity during this time, similar to a sunburn. Making sure that you avoid sun exposure, harsh skin care products, and wearing makeup during this time will also help the healing process.
