Microneedling at YouthFill MD, led by Dr. David Hopp, is a minimally invasive treatment that promotes collagen production to improve skin texture and tone.

With minimal downtime, microneedling helps you achieve smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. For more information, contact us or book an appointment online. We are conveniently located at 123 B.

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, sterilized needles to prick the skin on the face and body. By pricking the skin with these microneedles, the collagen and elastin below the skin’s surface are stimulated to increase production. As we age, collagen and elastin production naturally slow down. Through the process of microneedling, the skin can look younger, brighter, and refreshed due to the increased production. Microneedling can help with skin issues such as acne, hair loss, dark spots on your skin, large pores, scars, stretch marks, reduced skin elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles, and sun damage.
As the treatment involves the skin getting pricked my needles and doesn’t use lasers, it is significantly less expensive than laser treatments. It can also work better for individuals who have darker skin tones, as it doesn’t affect the skin’s pigmentation the way the heat from a laser treatment can. Your dermatologist can help you determine if microneedling is the best solution for your unique situation based on your skin type and the issues you are looking to improve.
Microneedling works by using ultra-thin, sterilized needles to prick the surface of the skin in the affected areas of the face or body. The doctor or an associate of the doctor will first smooth a numbing cream onto the area to be treated so you don’t feel the tiny needle pricks. Once your skin is numb, the doctor or professional performing the treatment will perform the microneedling procedure. This involves a tool with tiny needles being rolled over the skin’s surface. This tool will leave tiny pinpricks in the area where it was applied to the skin.
As you might expect, this can cause your skin to bleed as it is creating small punctures in the skin. With the pricks being so small, the bleeding will stop after a short time, but the doctor may put a cream on your skin to help soothe it. To help heal the skin, the body will naturally send collagen and elastin to the surface of the skin to patch it up, which increases overall production of collagen and elastin. The increased collagen at the skin’s surface will help to fill in wrinkles and fine lines, creating a smoother surface and complexion with the wrinkles fading.
Each person’s healing time varies, and this is no different. We all heal at different rates based on many factors within our own bodies’ systems. The healing time for microneedling procedures will depend on our own ability to heal, as well as how deeply the needles were inserted into the skin during treatment. Healing can vary from a few days to a few weeks, with deeper needle pricks taking longer to heal. Microneedling can cause mild bruising or bleeding, which will typically heal and fade after a few days, again depending on the depth of the pricks and your body’s natural ability to heal itself. As microneedling involves pricking the skin and creating a hole in the surface of the skin, although tiny, there is still a risk of scarring, particularly for people who have had keloids, as well as infection, although the risk is very low.
