Microneedling FAQs: How Microneedling Helps Improve Your Skin's Appearance

Microneedling is a type of skin treatment that helps improve the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and dark areas of pigmentation on the face. It is mostly painless, can be combined with laser treatment, and has a relatively short recovery period. Microneedling is a proven alternative to more invasive means of correcting skin problems. At Parbhu Oculofacial in Windermere, FL, our eye doctor is trained in the use of the microneedle tool and can address dark circles under the eyes along with other issues that respond well to the technique and tool.   

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling involves using a medical device with very fine needles that are applied to a problem area on the face. The needles make microscopic holes in the skin which stimulates collagen production, allowing the body to repair itself. 

Does it Hurt?

Our eye doctor will apply a numbing cream to your face before using the tool. You won't feel much in the way of sensation as the needles are applied to your face. 

How Does Microneedling Work?

The cuts made in the skin by the microneedling device stimulate the body to generate new collagen-rich tissue, enhancing the body’s natural healing process. Fine wrinkles disappear with the return of collagen to the area. Microneedling also breaks up the cells that cause hyperpigmentation and reduces the appearance of scars.

Will Microneedling Make Me Bleed?

You may experience some minor bleeding during or after treatment. Facial skin is vascular, meaning it has a lot of blood flowing beneath it. Microneedling usually doesn't penetrate far enough through the skin to cause bleeding, but bleeding is sometimes possible.
