Microneedling stimulates collagen production. We use microneedling for anti aging as well as for scarring. Dr. Sergio Gaitan uses different microneedling techniques depending on the goal of treatment. Microneedling can be used for old sunken scars as well as acne scars.
Microneedling can also be used for skin rejuvenation and replacing the collagen that we lose every year after 30. To experience Dr. Gaitan's special techniques with microneedling in Miami, come visit our office.
After microneedling you will be red in the treated areas. We apply a cream after treatment to soothe the skin, and redness can last for 24 to 48 hours. If more aggressive settings are used for better results, redness and bruising may last up to 1 week. The main thing you will feel during treatment is slight discomfort, which we minimize with a topical anesthetic.
Your results from microneedling can last for years. Since your body makes new collagen, it really depends on how you take care of your skin. Good sun protection ensures longer lasting results.
Once we turn 30, our body begins to lose collagen, so microneedling is a great way to replace it and improve the overall texture of the skin. With the constant sun damage our skin faces, a yearly microneedling treatment is a good idea to rebuild collagen.
Yes, you can see results after just one session. With more aggressive settings you can definitely see results after one microneedling session, while lighter settings give the skin a nice glow, like a facial but with longer lasting results. For deeper scars and wrinkles, it may take between 3 and 6 sessions to achieve your desired results.

With a typical microneedling treatment, after 48 hours your skin looks normal again. When more aggressive settings are used for severe scars and deeper wrinkles, redness can persist for up to 1 week, so plan accordingly.
Microneedling is a really safe procedure when done properly. The main thing you will experience is slight discomfort during treatment, which we ease with a topical anesthetic. Under more aggressive settings you may experience bruising that resolves in about 1 week.
