Boost Collagen and Rejuvenate Your Skin with Minimally Invasive Microneedling.
Microneedling in Atlanta is a popular minimally invasive treatment that helps to rejuvenate the skin at a cellular level. Generally considered safe for all skin types, this treatment involves a series of tiny needles that lead to a big boost in natural collagen production. As the building block of firm, youthful-looking skin, collagen unfortunately diminishes as we age, contributing to a host of skin concerns. Microneedling can assist in reversing these effects and helping you reclaim a refreshed appearance you long for.
How does microneedling work?
During a microneedling treatment (also referred to as collagen induction therapy), a trained Atlanta Face & Body technician first applies a topical numbing cream then uses a specially designed handheld device containing a series of very fine needles to gently go over the targeted area. The needles safely penetrate the outer layers of skin to create scarless micro-injuries that signal the body’s healing processes, namely the production of collagen and elastin. Microneedling can easily be combined with other treatments to maximize benefits, including greatly increasing the absorption of special serums. We offer the option of pairing microneedling with growth factors and hyaluronic acid, among others

Am I a candidate for microneedling?
Microneedling was designed to benefit virtually all skin types and tones in adults of a wide age range. Whether used a means of “pre-juvenation” in your 20s and 30s or to address the signs of aging in your 40s, 50s, and beyond, microneedling may be an effective solution for you. Ultimately, anyone seeking smoother, younger-looking skin with minimal downtime may be a good candidate. People with advanced signs of aging, however, may better benefit from other treatment options at Atlanta Face & Body, which we will discuss at your private consultation. Microneedling may not be suitable for those with an active skin infection.
Does microneedling hurt?
We apply a numbing cream prior to your session to help ensure you’re comfortable during your microneedling treatment. Many of our patients describe their microneedling experience as a feeling of light pressure with an occasional warming sensation. Others report a feeling of minor prickling. These sensations are generally tolerated very well, even being categorized in a range of being mostly comfortable to virtually pain-free.
How many microneedling treatments will I need?
Since everyone is different and doesn’t have the same skin goals, the number of microneedling sessions needed will depend heavily upon factors such as your age, specific skin concern, and lifestyle, among other factors. Most people typically benefit from a series of treatment sessions unless it’s only minor skin problems that you want to treat. We’ll map out a clear treatment plan for you at your private consultation.
Are there any side effects from microneedling treatment?
The most common side effects from microneedling are mild irritation and redness (almost like a mild sunburn). These effects are often mild and resolve in a few days. You might also experience a mild tightness sensation, swelling, dryness, or tenderness for the first few days. Most patients return to their normal activities the next day following their microneedling treatment.
When will I notice the results from my microneedling treatment?
Many people notice a degree of improvement almost immediately after microneedling. But the real magic is how the skin improves over time due to increased collagen production. Optimal results can take about six to eight weeks to appear, which is when the newer collagen becomes the most evident.
