What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a treatment that can be used to address stretch marks, sun damage, and uneven texture. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves creating micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. This reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars but also improves skin tone, tightens pores, and enhances the absorption of skincare products.
Who is a Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is suitable for individuals looking for a non-invasive way to improve the appearance of their skin with minimal downtime. It can benefit those experiencing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or an uneven complexion. A consultation with our skincare experts at Thrive Wellness and Aesthetics will determine if this treatment aligns with your goals and skin needs.

During your microneedling session, a numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. The procedure typically lasts about 60 minutes. Our providers will use a specialized microneedling device to create micro-channels in the skin, targeting areas of concern such as wrinkles, scars, or large pores. For optimal results, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart may be recommended.
Treatment Areas for Microneedling
- For Fine Lines: Stimulates the skin’s natural healing response by creating tiny, controlled injuries, boosting collagen and elastin for smoother skin.
- For Wrinkles: Encourages the skin’s natural collagen production for lasting wrinkle reduction.
- For Acne Scars: Helps diminish the appearance of scars by promoting skin renewal as micro-injuries heal.
- For Enlarged Pores: Promotes firmer, smoother skin by stimulating collagen and elastin, making pores look smaller.
- For Sagging Skin: Enhances skin firmness by using precise micro-injuries to improve skin elasticity.
- For Sun Damage: Encourages healthy cell turnover to diminish sun damage, revealing a more even skin tone and smoother texture.
- For Age Spots: Reduces age spots by breaking down melanin, creating a smoother, more even complexion.
- For Skin Texture & Tone: Enhances skin tone and texture by stimulating natural rejuvenation processes, gradually refining rough patches.
- For Hyperpigmentation: Supports the development of new, balanced skin cells by stimulating collagen for a more even complexion.
Recovery from Microneedling
Recovery from microneedling is typically quick, with most patients experiencing mild redness similar to a sunburn for the first one to two days. Some light peeling may occur as the treated skin sheds dead cells and new, healthy skin emerges. During the recovery period, it is important to keep the skin moisturized, avoid direct sun exposure, and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the newly treated areas.
While most patients can resume normal activities within a day, we recommend avoiding exfoliants and harsh skincare products until the skin has fully healed. Our team will provide you with post-treatment care instructions to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.

How Long Will Results Last After Microneedling?
Visible improvements in skin tone and texture often appear within a week of treatment, with continued enhancements developing over the following months as collagen production increases. The longevity of results can vary depending on individual skin conditions and post-treatment care.
