The Ultimate Anti-Aging Facial: 5 Amazing Skin Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling delivers smoother and younger-looking skin without surgery or extended downtime. Sometimes called collagen induction therapy, this innovative procedure uses tiny, medical-grade needles to create micro-injuries in the skin’s surface.

Microneedling isn’t just another facial. It also helps your skin activate its natural healing process, producing more collagen and elastin — the building blocks of healthy, youthful skin. 

At Limmer Dermatology in San Antonio, Texas, our trained team of skin professionals offers microneedling, ensuring a safe experience and beautiful results.

Microneedling offers numerous benefits. These five are among the most impactful.

1. Younger-looking skin

With age, your production of collagen slows, and skin loses elasticity, leading to visible lines. 

Microneedling stimulates collagen formation, helping to plump the skin from within. Over time, this softens the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, and other wrinkles for a more refreshed look.

2. Improved skin tone and texture

Uneven texture is characterized by rough patches and enlarged pores. It can make your skin look older than it is. Microneedling encourages cell turnover, leaving your skin smoother, softer, and more even in tone. You’ll enjoy “glowing” skin.

3. Reduced appearance of scars

Acne or injury scars make your skin feel uneven. Microneedling breaks down old scar tissue while encouraging new skin cell growth. Over a series of treatments, scars can fade and blend more seamlessly with surrounding skin.

4. Better absorption of skincare products

The tiny channels created during microneedling allow the valuable active ingredients in your serums and creams to penetrate more deeply. You’ll get the maximum results from compounds like hyaluronic acid, peptides, and vitamin C.

5. Tighter and firmer skin

As you age, your skin loses firmness, so it sags and looks lax. By boosting collagen and elastin, microneedling can improve the skin’s resilience and create a subtle lifting effect, especially along the jawline, cheeks, and under-eye area.

Experiencing microneedling

At our office, microneedling sessions are quick. They usually take under an hour. We apply a numbing cream before treatment to keep you comfortable, and most people experience only mild redness for a day or two afterward. 

You’ll start to notice results after just a few weeks, and they continue to build with each session.

We offer multiple types of microneedling and will help determine which is best for your goals. Traditional collagen induction therapy is excellent for overall skin texture and tone. 

Radiofrequency (RF) microneedling adds radiofrequency energy for deeper tightening and more dramatic results, while microneedling with PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to enhance healing and rejuvenation.
