What is Microneedling?
When home skin care products are no longer effective, but you don't want surgery, consider minimally invasive treatments to rejuvenate the skin, such as microneedling.
Our AlluraMD Aesthetics + Wellness team is happy to perform microneedling (collagen induction therapy) with the advanced SkinPen technology at our office in Boynton Beach, FL. Microneedling uses several fine-gauge needles to effectively and safely create micro-injuries in the needed areas of the skin. The micro-injuries trigger the body's natural production of collagen and elastin, two nutrients that increase the overall health and appearance of your complexion. Easily combined with other treatments, like vitamin serums or PRP (platelet-rich plasma), microneedling can help minimize scars, stretch marks, and pores. At AlluraMD Aesthetics + Wellness we strive to deliver the best microneedling Boynton Beach has to offer. Schedule a consultation at AlluraMD Aesthetics + Wellness to discover more about the results of microneedling and how to customize your procedure for your skin needs and goals.
Microneedling Quick Facts

Microneedling, often referred to in clinical literature as percutaneous collagen induction therapy, is a versatile treatment that manages skin tone by addressing structural concerns beneath the surface.
The mechanical stimulation provided by the microneedling procedure helps break up fibrous tissue in facial acne scars and other scars. By forcing the natural production of new collagen, the device encourages the development of smoother replacement skin.
By treating fine lines through collagen induction, we can effectively reduce wrinkles and facial wrinkles. This creates a natural plumping effect that reflects a more refreshed appearance without the use of heat or aggressive chemical peels.
The healing process initiated by microneedling can help even out sun damage, dark spots, and an uneven skin tone. By encouraging rapid cell turnover, the treated skin sheds damaged surface cells more efficiently.
Strengthening the skin around the pore prevents it from appearing stretched. As collagen production increases, the overall texture appears more refined and uniform, which is a primary goal for most people seeking cosmetic treatments.
Because the microneedling technique can be used on various areas of the body, it is effective for reducing the appearance of stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks.
The healing process initiated by microneedling can help even out sun damage and minor discoloration. By encouraging rapid cell turnover, the skin sheds damaged surface cells more efficiently.

You could benefit from microneedling treatments if you have light or mild complexion issues, like a decrease in firmness or uneven texture. Microneedling treatments may also reduce the appearance of stretch marks, scars, and pores. You should be willing to wait a while before seeing improvements from your microneedling treatment because the collagen and elastin will need some time to have an effect on the skin, but you will have results that look natural and gain healthier overall skin.
Microneedling is performed in a treatment room in around 30 – 60 minutes with numbing cream or local anesthesia if desired, but most Boynton Beach microneedling patients report little or no pain and discomfort.
The areas of skin being addressed will be cleaned before the advanced SkinPen microneedling handpiece is passed evenly over. Once the microneedling is performed, a treatment, like PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or a vitamin-infused serum, may be applied so the nutrients can penetrate deeper into the skin. A moisturizer selected for your skin type will be massaged in along with sun protection because the treated skin will be sensitive after the procedure.

Following the procedure, you may experience mild redness and swelling for about one day; however, this should resolve quickly on its own. It may take around 1 – 2 months as the collagen and elastin levels increase before you see significant improvements in the appearance and health of your skin. You should plan to get around 4 – 6 follow-up treatments performed every 4 – 6 weeks for ideal results and long-term skin benefits.

Following the microneedling procedure, you may experience mild redness and swelling for a few hours up to one day. This is a natural response as the skin begins its collagen induction.
To achieve optimal results, it is vital to let the skin breathe. You should not apply makeup or wear makeup for at least 24 hours to prevent clogging the micro-channels. While you may see noticeable results within a week, the new collagen takes time to mature, with the most improvement appearing after several months of multiple treatments.

Most patients experience a pinkish hue, similar to a mild sunburn, for about 12 to 24 hours. This is the body's natural inflammatory response working to create new collagen.
We advise that you do not apply makeup for at least 24 hours after your treatment session. This protects the treated skin from irritation and ensures the tiny holes can close without interference.
Because we use a medical-grade numbing cream or topical anesthesia, the procedure is quite tolerable. Most people describe it as a vibrating sensation rather than a sharp pain.
While more research is always emerging in dermatol surg, microneedling is increasingly used to treat androgenic alopecia and hair loss. By stimulating the scalp, it can improve the environment for hair follicles.
While some see improvement after one visit, most patients require 3–6 sessions to treat acne scars effectively and reach their desired results.
