How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling uses a specialized device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers the body’s natural healing response, leading to:

• Boosted Collagen & Elastin Production – Enhances skin firmness and elasticity.

• Improved Skin Texture & Tone – Reduces the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation.

• Enhanced Product Absorption – Allows skincare serums to penetrate deeper for better results.

At Summerlin Dermatology of Las Vegas, we offer microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) and without, allowing for customized treatment options tailored to your skincare goals.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling provides a range of skin-enhancing benefits, including:

• Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Stimulates collagen to smooth aging skin.

• Minimizes Acne Scars & Hyperpigmentation – Fades discoloration and uneven skin tone.

• Tightens & Firms Skin – Improves overall skin elasticity.

• Diminishes Enlarged Pores – Refines skin texture for a smoother look.

• Non-Surgical & Minimal Downtime – A safe, effective alternative to more invasive treatments.

Is Microneedling Right for You?

Microneedling is ideal for individuals looking to rejuvenate their skin naturally. You may be a good candidate if you:

• Want to improve skin texture, firmness, and tone.

• Have mild to moderate acne scars, fine lines, or stretch marks.

• Prefer a non-invasive treatment with minimal recovery time.

Precautions & Contraindications

While microneedling is safe for most people, it may not be suitable for those who:

• Have active acne breakouts or infections – The treatment can irritate inflamed skin.

• Are pregnant or breastfeeding – Consult with your provider before treatment.

• Have a history of keloid scarring – Microneedling may not be advisable for those prone to excessive scar formation.

A consultation at Summerlin Dermatology will help determine if microneedling is the right treatment for you.
