Quick Overview
Treatment at a Glance
Collagen-Focused Skin Rejuvenation
Improve Skin Texture by Supporting Natural Renewal
Microneedling uses a specialized device containing very fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. These microchannels trigger a natural healing response that can support collagen and elastin production over time.
The treatment is commonly used when patients want to improve the appearance of uneven texture, fine lines, enlarged-looking pores, acne scars, or skin that has lost some of its smoothness.
At Physician Aesthetic Specialists, treatment depth and the number of sessions are selected according to your skin, the concerns being addressed, and your individual goals.
Common Skin Concerns
What Can Microneedling Address?
Microneedling can be incorporated into a skin rejuvenation plan for several common texture and appearance concerns.
Uneven Texture
Microneedling can support smoother-looking skin by encouraging the skin’s natural renewal process.
Fine Lines
Collagen-focused treatment may help soften the appearance of fine lines as the skin remodels over time.
Acne Scars
Microneedling may be considered for certain types of acne scarring and uneven skin texture.
Visible Pores
Treatment may help improve the overall appearance and texture of skin where pores appear more noticeable.
Dull-Looking Skin
The renewal process following treatment can contribute to a smoother and more refreshed-looking complexion.
Overall Skin Quality
Microneedling can be incorporated into an ongoing skin care plan focused on texture, tone, and skin maintenance.
How It Works
Controlled Microchannels Encourage Skin Renewal
During treatment, the microneedling device passes across the selected areas of skin and creates tiny, controlled channels. These microchannels initiate a healing response without surgery.
As that response progresses, the skin begins a remodeling process involving collagen and elastin. Improvements typically develop gradually rather than appearing as a single immediate change.
Prepare
The treatment area is cleansed and a topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort.
Treat
The microneedling device creates controlled microchannels at a depth selected for your skin and treatment goals.
Renew
The skin’s natural healing response supports gradual remodeling and collagen production after treatment.
What to Expect
Your Microneedling Treatment Experience
A typical microneedling appointment at PAS takes about 30 minutes, with treatment customized according to your skin and areas of concern.
Before Treatment
Your skin and treatment goals are reviewed, and the treatment area is prepared. A topical numbing agent may be applied before microneedling begins.
During Treatment
The microneedling device is passed across the targeted areas while creating controlled microchannels in the skin.
After Treatment
Your skin may temporarily appear pink or feel sensitive following treatment. Your provider will review appropriate aftercare and skin care recommendations.
Why PAS
Microneedling Planned Around Your Skin
Microneedling depth and treatment frequency should reflect the condition of the skin and the specific concern being addressed. A patient focused on general texture may need a different approach than someone treating visible acne scars.
At Physician Aesthetic Specialists, microneedling is incorporated into an individualized skin treatment plan rather than performed using the same settings and schedule for every patient.
Skin-specific treatment planning
Customized treatment depth and targeted areas
Focus on texture, collagen support, and skin quality

Frequently Asked Questions
Microneedling FAQs
Is microneedling painful?
A topical numbing agent is typically applied before treatment to improve comfort. You may still feel pressure, vibration, or a scratching sensation as the microneedling device moves across the skin.
What should I avoid before microneedling?
The PAS team may recommend avoiding certain supplements, alcohol, tobacco, or other factors that can affect bruising or healing before treatment. Tell your provider about all medications and supplements you take before your appointment. Do not stop a prescribed blood-thinning medication unless the clinician who prescribed it tells you to do so.
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
A typical PAS treatment plan recommends approximately four sessions. The number appropriate for you can vary depending on your skin concerns, treatment depth, and response to previous sessions.
When will I start seeing results?
Some patients notice their skin looking refreshed soon after treatment. More noticeable improvements may begin within the first week, while collagen remodeling and texture changes can continue developing over time.
What will my skin look like after microneedling?
Temporary redness, sensitivity, or a sunburn-like appearance can occur after microneedling. The degree and duration of these effects vary with treatment depth and individual skin response.
How long do microneedling results last?
The duration varies because microneedling relies on your skin’s natural remodeling process. Your skin condition, age, treatment series, sun exposure, home care, and other factors can influence how long improvements remain noticeable.
Can microneedling help with acne scars?
Microneedling may improve the appearance of certain types of acne scars by encouraging collagen remodeling. Your provider can evaluate your scar type and determine whether microneedling is an appropriate treatment option.
Can microneedling be combined with other skin treatments?
Yes, microneedling may be incorporated into a broader skin rejuvenation plan. The timing matters, particularly with laser treatments, facials, and other procedures, so the PAS team can help coordinate an appropriate schedule.
