As the years pass, the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production slows, leading to sagging, wrinkles, and a lackluster appearance. Factors like sun exposure, acne, smoking, and genetics can exacerbate these issues. Dr. Leonard Miller at Boston Center for Plastic Surgery offers an effective solution for these concerns: Microneedling. This safe and non-invasive procedure revitalizes the skin without the harsh side effects of many traditional methods. It’s a cutting-edge technique that can restore youthfulness without downtime.

What are the benefits of microneedling?

Our meticulously performed microneedling treatments can help you enjoy a range of benefits, including:

  • Mild to moderate acne scars
  • Surgical scars
  • Fine lines and deeper creases
  • Large pores
  • Poor skin texture and laxity
  • Crepey skin
  • Stretch marks

What is the procedure?

Microneedling combines an automated roller, passed gently over the skin’s surface, focusing on trouble areas. The depth of the needles is adjustable to customize each treatment. This procedure can be applied to various areas of the body, including the forehead, eyes, mouth, abdomen, and more. Combining microneedling with custom lip augmentation with filler is a popular combination, resulting in fuller lips with smoothed vertical lip lines.

What is the recovery time?

Following a light microneedling session, you will not need to take time off or hide at home to heal. The skin may appear pink for up to 24 hours, depending on the treatment’s depth. The recovery time can vary, with superficial treatments bringing a fast recovery and deeper treatments a bit longer. Dr. Miller provides guidance on proper skin care during recovery, and makeup can typically be resumed after a few days.

When will I enjoy the results?

Some patients see initial results within days, and the improvements in skin quality will continue over several months as the skin regenerates natural collagen. The number of recommended sessions depends on the area and desired correction. Microneedling costs vary based on individual needs and are not covered by insurance. Boston Center for Plastic Surgery makes it possible to undergo the treatment when you need it, with several flexible payment options.
