What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a collagen-induction treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny, controlled channels within the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins responsible for maintaining firm, youthful-looking skin.

Dr. Hassanzadeh performs microneedling using advanced radiofrequency (RF) microneedling technology that combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. This approach allows treatment to penetrate deeper layers of the skin, helping tighten tissue, remodel collagen, and improve skin quality more effectively than traditional microneedling alone.

Patient Testimonial

I had a great experience with Dr. Hassanzadeh. During my appointment, she took the time to answer all of my questions and helped me choose the best treatment option for my needs. We decided on the Alma Harmony IRIS Dye-VL laser, and I’m really happy with the results. My skin texture has improved significantly, and the red acne marks are almost gone. The staff was also very nice after the treatment, checking in with me to make sure everything was going well. Recommending to all my friends.

The Microneedling Procedure

Your treatment begins with a consultation with Dr. Hassanzadeh to evaluate your skin concerns and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is typically applied to maximize comfort. During treatment, the microneedling device uses tiny needles and radiofrequency energy to create controlled microchannels beneath the skin’s surface. The treatment stimulates collagen production while remodeling deeper tissue layers for more comprehensive rejuvenation.

Most microneedling appointments take less than an hour, depending on the size and number of treatment areas.

Patients commonly choose microneedling for the face, neck, jawline, and other areas experiencing early signs of aging, acne scarring, or texture irregularities.

Microneedling Recovery

Following treatment, patients may experience temporary redness, mild swelling, and sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn. These effects generally improve within several days.

Because microneedling works beneath the skin’s surface, improvements continue gradually as collagen production increases over time. Many patients notice smoother texture and brighter skin within the first few weeks, with continued improvement developing over several months.

Dr. Hassanzadeh and our team will provide personalized aftercare instructions to help support healing and optimize results.
