Microneedling in New York
If the problem is the surface of your skin rather than lines or lost volume, so scarring, rough texture, large pores or uneven tone, then microneedling is usually where to start. It makes the skin rebuild itself.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling uses very fine needles to make controlled micro injuries in the skin. Each one is tiny and closes quickly, but the body responds by repairing the area and laying down new collagen and elastin.
The clinical name for it is percutaneous collagen induction. Nothing is added and nothing is removed. You are using your own healing response to remodel the skin.
It is a course rather than a single appointment, and the change shows up over months as the skin turns over.
How the treatment works
Numbing cream goes on first. A device passes over the skin at a depth set for your concern, then a recovery serum is applied.
- Topical numbing before the treatment
- Usually 30 to 45 minutes
- Most people need three to six sessions
- Sessions are spaced four to six weeks apart
- Redness like mild sunburn for one to three days
- Results build over several months as collagen forms
What it treats
- Acne scarring, particularly rolling and boxcar scars
- Rough or uneven texture
- Large pores
- Uneven tone and dullness
- Fine lines
- Early loss of firmness
- Some surgical and injury scars
Why patients choose it

Questions
- Does it hurt?
- Numbing cream is applied first and most people describe it as scratchy rather than painful. The forehead and along the jaw tend to be the most sensitive.
- How many sessions will I need?
- Most people need three to six, spaced four to six weeks apart. Scarring usually needs more sessions than texture.
- What is the downtime?
- Redness like a mild sunburn for one to three days, sometimes a little flaking afterwards.
- When will I see a difference?
- Some brightness within a week or two, but the real change is collagen, which builds over the following months.
- Does it work on darker skin?
- Microneedling is generally better tolerated across skin tones than light based treatments, because it uses no heat or light. It still needs assessing first.
