Why Everyone Is Obsessed With Microneedling

Microneedling is known for tackling everything from acne scars to fine lines — and it’s less invasive than you might think. Think of microneedling as giving your skin the nudge it needs to bring out its best self. Better yet, the results keep improving over time. 

Find out for yourself why so many people are obsessed with this simple, innovative, and revitalizing procedure. Meet with our dermatology specialists at Vindhya Veerula MD - Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa to get started.

Microneedling 101

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, with Dr. Veerula harnesses your body’s natural anti-aging power by stimulating new cell generation. 

This treatment uses tiny needles to make microtears in imperfect tissues, triggering them to grow newer, younger, healthier cells without medications, invasive procedures, or downtime.  

Dr. Veerula may pair microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which comes from your own blood, or vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, or other rejuvenating serums to further optimize flawless results. 

Top 5 reasons microneedling is so popular

Microneedling at Vindhya Veerula MD - Integrative Dermatology & Laser Spa offers the following exciting advantages:

1. All-natural solution

Microneedling is an all-natural treatment, meaning it stimulates your body’s innate ability to regenerate cells. You don’t apply chemicals or medications to your skin. However, Dr. Veerula can numb targeted tissues prior to your treatment to enhance your comfort. The results are impeccable.

2. Younger-looking appearance

The days, weeks, and sometimes months after microneedling sessions may continue to reveal improvements in your skin’s appearance. You notice smoother, tighter, less-wrinkled tissues with diminished scarring, pore sizes, sagging, stretch marks, melasma, dullness, pigmentation problems, or other imperfections. 

3. Thicker locks

Microneedling isn’t just for your face. Did you know that microneedling on your scalp (particularly when combed with PRP) can stimulate hair regrowth to reduce thinning, balding, and unhealthy locks? Choose microneedling to get the beautiful, full head of hair you desire at any age.

4. Minimal side effects

While nearly all cosmetic procedures have at least a few side effects, microneedling is highly safe. 

Unlike lasers, microneedling devices don’t deliver heat to treated tissues. Therefore, people who have dark spots, melasma, and other skin pigmentation concerns can undergo microneedling without worrying about worsening hyperpigmentation problems. 

While you might experience some tenderness, redness, warmth, itching, or scabbing after microneedling, these temporary side effects often disappear within a few days to a week. 

5. No downtime

Not only is microneedling safe, fast (often taking just 15-30 minutes), and comfortable, there’s minimal to no downtime needed afterward. You can complete the procedure during your lunch break or as a convenient stop between errands. You may even be able to wear makeup after 24 hours if Dr. Veerula gives the go-ahead.

How often to schedule microneedling

While everyone has unique needs when it comes to microneedling, a series of treatments spaced 3-8 weeks apart is common to achieve optimal results. As new cells grow, it might take 3-6 months to notice ongoing anti-aging results. Yearly maintenance treatments provide the long-lasting skin revitalization you deserve.
