How Microneedling Works

At Basu Aesthetics + Plastic Surgery, we use the Dermapen device for microneedling, which stimulates your skin’s natural healing process. Tiny, sterile needles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin—just enough to signal your body to ramp up collagen and elastin production. These channels are virtually invisible to the naked eye but spark big changes over time.

There’s no major downtime, just a little redness afterward—like a mild sunburn. Over the following weeks, your skin rebuilds from within, making it smoother, firmer, and even-toned. We typically recommend a series of 3–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results.

The Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling is one of our go-to treatments because it works for many skin concerns. Whether you’re looking to soften fine lines, shrink pores, fade old acne scars, or just glow a little more—this treatment delivers. Some of the benefits include:

A smoother, more even texture
Fewer visible lines and wrinkles
Faded dark spots, scars, and stretch marks
Smaller-looking pores
Brighter, healthier-looking skin
Enhanced absorption of your skincare products

Who Is Microneedling For?

Microneedling works well for most people, especially those with early signs of aging, scarring, or uneven tone and texture. It’s safe for all skin types and tones. That said, if you’re pregnant, nursing, or have certain medical conditions like active acne, skin infections, or poorly controlled diabetes, we’ll talk through other options. During your consultation, we’ll make sure this is the right fit for your skin and your goals.

What to Expect

Before Treatment

We’ll start with a quick skin check and review your health history to make sure you’re ready to go. Then, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable.

During Treatment

Once your skin is prepped, we’ll use the Dermapen device to create those controlled microchannels. Most sessions take 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.

After Treatment

For the first day or two, you might notice some redness and a little tightness, like a mild sunburn. There’s no actual downtime, but we do recommend:

Skipping makeup for 24 hours
Avoiding hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for a day
Keeping your skin well-hydrated
Wearing SPF daily to protect your results

Microneedling FAQ

Does microneedling hurt?

Not really. We use a numbing cream to keep you comfortable, and the needles are fine. Most people say it just feels a little scratchy.

How many sessions will I need?

We usually recommend a series of 3 sessions, but it depends on your goals. We’ll customize a plan that works for you.

When will I see the results?

Expect to start seeing improvements within a couple of weeks, with continued results over the next month or two as your skin rebuilds.

Are there other options if microneedling isn’t a fit?

Yes, Morpheus8 and fractional laser treatments offer similar benefits and might be a better match, depending on your needs. We’ll discuss everything at your consultation.

Can I get microneedling today?

Often, yes! If you’re an established patient and call early, we can usually fit you in on the same day. New patients might need extra consultation time, but we’ll do our best to get you in quickly.
