Microneedling

Stimulate. Strengthen. Transform Your Skin.

Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments available for improving skin quality from the inside out. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface, the treatment activates your body’s natural repair process, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin. The result is skin that is firmer, smoother, and more resilient over time.

At Elan Med Spa, microneedling treatments are performed by trained professionals using precise, medical-grade devices. Every session is customized to your skin’s specific needs, whether you are addressing signs of aging, acne scarring, enlarged pores, or overall texture concerns. This is not a one-size-fits-all procedure. It is a targeted, science-backed treatment designed to deliver meaningful, lasting improvements.

What Is Microneedling?

How the Treatment Works

Microneedling, also referred to as collagen induction therapy, uses a professional device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of tiny channels in the upper layers of the skin. These micro-injuries are controlled and intentional. They signal the body to initiate its healing response, which includes producing new collagen and elastin fibers. Over time, this process results in thicker, healthier skin with improved tone and texture.

What Microneedling Can Address

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can improve a broad range of skin concerns. It is particularly effective for fine lines and early wrinkles, acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, rough or uneven skin texture, and mild skin laxity. It can be performed on the face as well as other areas of the body where skin concerns exist, such as the neck and décolletage.

A Comfortable Treatment with Lasting Results

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment begins to ensure your comfort throughout the session. The microneedling device is moved carefully across the treatment area, and most clients describe the sensation as light pressure or mild warmth. Sessions typically take thirty to sixty minutes depending on the area being treated, and most clients experience only minor redness in the hours following their appointment.

What to Expect After Your Treatment

Microneedling has a straightforward recovery process, and most clients return to their regular routines within a day or two.
  • Mild redness and sensitivity are normal for the first 24 to 48 hours
  • Skin may feel slightly dry or tight as the healing process progresses
  • Avoid direct sun exposure, active skincare ingredients, and makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment
  • Results develop gradually over four to six weeks as new collagen forms, with continued improvement following each session

Frequently Asked Questions

How many microneedling sessions will I need?
Most clients see their best results after a series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin concerns and goals. Your provider will recommend a treatment plan during your consultation based on your individual needs.
Yes. One of the key advantages of microneedling is that it is safe and effective across all skin tones. Unlike some laser treatments, it does not carry a significant risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, making it a strong option for clients with medium to deep skin tones.
Some clients notice an improvement in skin texture and radiance within the first week or two. Collagen remodeling takes time, however, so the most noticeable changes typically appear four to six weeks after treatment and continue to improve with each session in a series.
Chemical peels can significantly improve the appearance of post-acne marks and shallow scarring by accelerating cell turnover and stimulating collagen production. More pronounced scarring may benefit from a combination approach, which your provider can discuss with you.
In the days leading up to your session, avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and prolonged sun exposure. Let your provider know about any medications or supplements you are taking, as some may affect your treatment or recovery. A full pre-care guide will be provided at your consultation.
