5 Skin Concerns That Microneedling Can Address

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, has become a sought-after treatment for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance without invasive procedures. At the office of Dr. Donna Krummen, MD, Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, this innovative treatment addresses various skin concerns. Backed by the expertise of our aesthetic medical team, microneedling stimulates the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. Here are five common skin concerns that microneedling can help improve:

1. Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Aging skin often shows signs of fine lines and wrinkles as collagen and elastin levels naturally decline. Microneedling combats these changes by creating micro-injuries that prompt your body to produce more collagen, effectively plumping your skin and smoothing out wrinkles. Over time, this process restores a youthful, firm appearance to areas like your forehead, around your eyes, and mouth.

2. Acne Scars

Acne scars can leave behind noticeable indentations or discoloration that traditional skincare products often can’t address. Microneedling works by breaking down old scar tissue while promoting the formation of new skin cells. This dual-action approach softens the appearance of both atrophic and hypertrophic scars, creating a smoother skin surface and even tone with consistent treatment.

3. Stretch Marks

Stretch marks develop when the skin is stretched rapidly, such as during pregnancy or weight fluctuations, causing tears in the dermis. These marks can appear red, purple, or white and often feel difficult to improve. Microneedling stimulates collagen in the deeper layers of skin, helping to repair the damaged tissue and gradually fade stretch marks, leaving skin that is more even in texture and tone.

4. Uneven Skin Tone and Texture

Irregular skin tone and rough texture can make the complexion look dull or aged. Microneedling enhances skin smoothness and vibrancy by boosting cell turnover and collagen production. The treatment targets areas with enlarged pores, rough patches, and pigmentation issues, promoting a more refined and balanced complexion that feels as great as it looks.

5. Sun Damage

Years of sun exposure can cause discoloration, age spots, and a loss of skin elasticity. Microneedling offers a way to reverse some of this damage by triggering the skin’s natural repair process. New collagen production reduces discoloration and improves skin tone, helping to restore the health and appearance of sun-damaged skin.
