Microneedling

In Orlando & Lake Mary

Many people have heard of, or even experienced, the benefits of traditional microneedling treatments and the regeneration benefits of natural injections. At EternaMD, we combine these treatments to offer an even more powerful and effective way of harnessing revitalized and youthful skin.

Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

Made popular with celebrities for its noticeable and beautiful results, microneedling (a process called dermal remodeling or collagen induction therapy) is a treatment designed to boost collagen production. During treatment, a pen-like device is moved across the skin while single-use microneedles create punctures. This causes a strong wound-healing response, stimulating the creation of collagen and elastin in the skin. These micro-wounds also allow for deeper absorption of skin serums and products for optimal results.

What Can Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can address a variety of skin concerns, some of which include:

  • Acne scars and acne scarring
  • Excessive sun exposure
  • Surgical scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Stretch marks
  • Fine lines
  • Facial wrinkles
  • Sun damage
  • Rosacea
  • Loose skin
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Redness and discoloration

When and Why To Choose Microneedling

Microneedling is an excellent option for individuals seeking to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or enlarged pores, and enhance overall skin tone without the downtime associated with more aggressive treatments. Unlike lasers or chemical peels, microneedling is safe for most skin types and tones, making it a versatile treatment for a wide range of patients. 

Many people choose microneedling when they want gradual, natural-looking improvements that enhance the skin’s radiance and resilience over time, with benefits like: 

  • Minimal downtime and recovery
  • Smoothing uneven skin texture and acne scars

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

The microneedling procedure offers numerous benefits for your skin, making it a sought-after treatment for both preventative and restorative purposes. Percutaneous collagen induction therapy helps improve skin texture and tone, particularly in darker skin tones, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Here are some of the key benefits:

  • Improved skin texture and facial acne scars
  • Boosted collagen production
  • Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enhanced absorption of serums and products
  • Minimal downtime

How Long Does it Take to See Microneedling Results?

Results from microneedling treatments are not immediate but become noticeable over time as collagen production gradually increases. Most people begin to notice improvements within 4-6 weeks after treatment, as the skin starts to heal and concerns like atrophic acne scars dissipate.

Optimal results typically appear after several sessions, depending on the individual and the specific skin concerns being addressed. Some individuals may see significant improvements after just one session, but a tailored treatment plan designed by your provider will ensure the best possible results for your skin.

What to Expect with Microneedling 

The microneedling device uses tiny needles to create tiny punctures that stimulate collagen production. When combined with natural boosters, the growth factors from your blood will be applied to the skin after microneedling, accelerating the healing process and maximizing rejuvenation.

Following the skin needling procedure, your skin may appear slightly red or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a day. Some individuals may also experience slight dryness or flaking as the skin heals, which is normal.

Microneedling + Natural Boosters

Natural boosters are a treatment that derives itself from the patient’s own blood. Our blood naturally contains potent ingredients like growth factors that can boost cellular activity. During treatment, a small vial is filled and placed in a centrifuge where it is separated, creating an isolated concentration growth factors that stimulate collagen growth. This concentration will then be applied to the skin following microneedling for full absorption. This treatment is used to reduce signs of aging and promote rejuvenation.
