FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Microneedling?

Micro-Needling, also known as Percutaneous Collagen Induction Therapy (PCIT), is a revolutionary treatment for smoothing fine lines, reducing acne scars, and rejuvenating your skin.

This innovative procedure uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries, stimulating collagen and elastin production for firmer, more radiant skin. It also forms micro-channels that enhance the absorption of serums and creams, amplifying their effectiveness.

At Stafford MediSpa, we use the Collagen P.I.N.—a leading medical-grade micro-needling device—to deliver exceptional results.

Why choose Collagen P.I.N. over traditional dermal needling rollers?

Traditional dermal rollers represent an older generation of micro-needling technology. One major limitation of rollers is their fixed needle depth, such as 0.5mm, which isn’t ideal for areas like the face where skin thickness varies. Customizing treatments for consistency becomes difficult, as different areas require different penetration depths.

The Collagen P.I.N.™ offers a significant advantage with its adjustable needle depth. This feature allows your skincare provider to tailor the treatment to the specific needs of each area, from delicate skin around the eyes and forehead to thicker tissue on the cheeks, upper lip, neck, and décolletage. With just one advanced needle tip, the provider can seamlessly adjust for optimal results, eliminating the need for multiple rollers.

Another key difference lies in the precision of the treatment. The Collagen P.I.N. creates a more targeted and effective micro-injury compared to traditional rollers, elevating your results to a whole new level.

How should I prepare for a microneedling treatment?

To ensure the best results and minimize any side effects, please review and follow these pre-treatment recommendations:

Plan Ahead: Schedule your appointment at least one week before any event, as redness, swelling, or peeling may occur during this time.
Cold Sore History: Inform your provider if you’ve had cold sores. An antiviral prescription may be recommended.
Healthy Skin Condition: The treatment area must be free of any active rashes or infections.
Medications to Avoid: Discontinue Accutane at least six months before treatment.
Waxing: Avoid waxing the treatment area for one week prior.
Topical Retinoids: Stop using topical retinoids 24 hours before your appointment to reduce sensitivity.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, obtain approval from your OB-GYN before scheduling.
Minimize Bruising: To reduce bruising or bleeding, refrain from aspirin, NSAIDs, and fish oil for three days before and after treatment. Consult your primary physician before stopping any prescribed medications.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can help ensure a safe and effective treatment experience.

What should you expect during your microneedling session?

To ensure your comfort, a topical anesthetic is applied to gently numb the skin. Once prepared, your skincare professional will attach a sterile needle-tip—featuring 36 micro-needles—to the advanced Collagen P.I.N.™ device.

A thin layer of exosome serum, a cutting-edge product known for its powerful regenerative properties, is applied to the skin. Exosomes help boost healing, stimulate collagen production, and enhance your skin’s natural repair processes.

The Collagen P.I.N. is then gently glided across the treatment area, with the needle depth carefully customized to meet your unique needs. For more delicate or specific areas, the stamping technique is employed, pressing the device directly onto the skin to ensure precise treatment and better control.

This process creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, encouraging collagen production and allowing the exosome serum to penetrate deeply. Multiple passes may be made to achieve optimal results, leaving your skin primed for renewal and rejuvenation.

What should I expect during microneedling recovery?

Micro-needling is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure with little downtime, making it a convenient option for skin rejuvenation. After your treatment, it’s normal to notice redness resembling a mild sunburn. You may also experience a sensation of tightness, sensitivity, or slight burning in the treated areas, along with occasional pinpoint bruising.

These effects are temporary and typically subside within a few days. During this time, your skin may feel more delicate, so it's important to avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect your skin, as sun sensitivity is heightened post-treatment.

Your skin's natural healing process is working beneath the surface to stimulate collagen production and enhance your results, so it’s crucial to follow your provider’s post-care instructions for the best outcome. Expect glowing, rejuvenated skin as the full effects of your treatment become apparent in the days and weeks ahead.

What results should I expect from microneedling?

Patients often begin noticing visible improvements in their skin within 1-2 weeks following their first micro-needling session. These initial changes include smoother texture, increased firmness, and a brighter complexion as collagen production is activated.

For more dramatic and long-lasting results, a series of treatments is recommended. Most skin concerns, such as fine lines, acne scars, and uneven tone, can be effectively addressed with 4-6 sessions spaced appropriately apart. To maintain and enhance these results, many patients schedule treatments twice a year as part of their long-term skincare regimen.

Consistency is key for optimal outcomes. Pairing micro-needling with a personalized, high-quality skincare routine helps sustain improvements and ensures your skin remains healthy and radiant. Your provider will guide you in selecting products, like serums or moisturizers, to complement your treatments and maximize their benefits.

With a commitment to ongoing care, micro-needling can provide glowing, rejuvenated skin that looks and feels its best year-round.

What areas can microneedling target?

Micro-needling is a versatile and highly effective treatment designed to address a wide range of skin concerns, helping you achieve smoother, healthier, and more youthful skin. This advanced procedure targets and reduces the appearance of:

Fine Lines & Deep Wrinkles: Smooths the skin and softens visible signs of aging.
Sun Damage & Melasma: Improves tone and texture by diminishing hyperpigmentation and discoloration.
Acne Scarring: Minimizes the appearance of scars for a more even complexion.
Hair Loss: Stimulates hair follicles to promote growth and improve scalp health.
Dullness & Lax Skin: Revives radiance while boosting firmness and elasticity.
Stretch Marks: Reduces the visibility of stretch marks, blending them seamlessly with surrounding skin.

Whether you're tackling stubborn problem areas or enhancing overall skin health, micro-needling is a powerful solution that works to restore confidence and unveil your natural beauty.
