Microneedling is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve texture, tone, and overall skin quality. At The Andochick Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Frederick, MD, Dr. Scott Andochick offers customized microneedling and related rejuvenation treatments that support smoother, healthier-looking skin. These treatments are designed to enhance the skin’s natural repair process while keeping results subtle and natural.
What Microneedling and Skin Rejuvenation May Improve
Over time, the skin may show signs of aging, environmental stress, or previous sun exposure. Microneedling and complementary rejuvenation treatments may help:
- Improve skin texture and softness
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines
- Refine mild acne scarring
- Create a more even skin tone
- Enhance overall radiance
By stimulating the skin’s own renewal process, these treatments may support healthier, firmer, and more refreshed-looking skin.
Am I a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling may be an option for individuals who:
- Want a non-surgical, minimal-downtime treatment
- Prefer natural-looking skin improvement
- Notice early signs of aging or texture changes
- Want to refine mild scars or uneven tone
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations
During a consultation, Dr. Andochick evaluates skin type, goals, and treatment areas to determine whether microneedling or a combination rejuvenation plan is appropriate.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create small, controlled micro-channels across the skin’s surface. These micro-channels stimulate the skin’s natural healing response and support collagen production.
The treatment process typically involves:
- Cleansing and preparing the skin
- Applying a topical numbing option for comfort
- Performing microneedling over targeted areas
- Providing simple aftercare instructions for the following days
Some patients choose to combine microneedling with topical serums or rejuvenation products applied during treatment for enhanced results.
Microneedling and Skin Rejuvenation Recovery and Results
Recovery from microneedling is generally minimal. Most individuals experience mild redness, similar to a light sunburn, which fades within a day or two.
General expectations may include:
- Slight redness or warmth immediately after treatment
- Returning to normal activities the same or next day
- Avoiding heavy sun exposure during the early healing period
- Gradual improvement in texture and tone as collagen develops
A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal improvement, depending on the patient’s goals and skin condition.
Combining Skin Rejuvenation Treatments
Microneedling may be combined with other rejuvenation options, including neurotoxin injections, dermal fillers, or skincare programs. Pairing treatments often supports more comprehensive improvement. Dr. Andochick helps patients select a plan that fits their goals and lifestyle.
