Are you frustrated with acne scars, fine lines, or uneven skin texture that won’t respond to over-the-counter products? Microneedling offers a proven, minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation solution that transforms your skin from within by stimulating your body’s natural healing process to reveal a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion.
At Lucid Dermatology, our licensed aestheticians use advanced microneedling techniques to deliver safe, effective results for our patients and clients. With specialized experience in skin-of-color dermatology, our team understands how to tailor treatments to diverse skin types and tones.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger your body’s wound-healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production. The result is improved skin texture, reduced scarring, and a more youthful appearance.
For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, microneedling can be combined with other skin rejuvenation treatments offered at our practice.
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling addresses multiple skin concerns in a single treatment. Whether you’re dealing with acne scars, signs of aging, or textural irregularities, this versatile procedure can help you achieve your skin goals.

- Improves skin texture and tone

- Suitable for all skin types and tones
Good Candidates for Microneedling
Microneedling is safe and effective for most patients seeking skin improvement. You may be an ideal candidate if you have acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, or enlarged pores. The treatment works beautifully on all skin types, including darker skin tones that may be at higher risk for complications with other procedures.
During your consultation, our providers will evaluate your skin concerns and medical history to determine if microneedling is right for you. Patients with active acne, certain skin infections, or those who are pregnant may need to postpone treatment.
What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment
Your microneedling session begins with a thorough cleansing of the treatment area. We apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Once your skin is prepared, your provider uses a specialized device to create controlled micro-channels.
The treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Most patients describe the sensation as mild to moderate pressure with slight prickling. After the procedure, we apply a soothing serum to calm the skin and enhance results.
Recovery and Results
Microneedling requires minimal downtime, making it perfect for busy schedules. You’ll experience redness and mild swelling for 24 to 48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients return to normal activities within a day or two.
You’ll notice initial improvements in skin texture and radiance within a few days. As collagen production ramps up over the following weeks, you’ll see continued enhancement in skin quality. Optimal results typically appear after a series of three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.
