Microneedling for acne scars, large pores, wrinkles, scarring, and other skin issues is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses tiny needles to gently puncture the skin.
It stimulates the body to naturally prompt the healing process and produce collagen, called collagen induction therapy. Due to its minimally invasive nature, this procedure is safe for all skin tones.
When performed by a skilled and licensed skin specialist, microneedling causes the body to respond by healing the tiny holes made with the special microneedling pen with an ideal amount of collagen. This can result in the diminishment of scars, wrinkles, and other visible skin issues, as well as a more even skin tone and texture.

Microneeding is a highly versatile procedure that can be used on any skin-covered body area, including the face, neck, body, dècolletè, arms, hands, legs, stomach, and back.
This makes it particularly beneficial for addressing a range of skin problems that may present differently on their face, for example, than on another area of their body. During microneedling therapy, your provider will attach a sterile, disposable cartridge with 9–32 micro-needles to the tip of the microneedling device.
Then they will apply a thin layer of serum, such as the AnteAGE MD Brightening Exosomes, to the treatment area and determine the specific micro-channeling treatment depth for your requirement and goals. Thereafter, they will gently glide the microneedling pen across your skin, treating the predetermined area.

The time it takes for your skin to fully heal will depend on several factors, including the severity of your skin condition and the depth of repair. In general, patients notice that their face appears pink for approximately 2–4 days after their microneedling session, while others may fully heal within 24 hours of treatment. After your treatment, your provider will provide specific microneedling aftercare instructions and product recommendations to help aid your skin’s natural healing process and help facilitate optimal recovery and results.
Microneedling takes advantage of the body’s natural healing processes to stimulate collagen and elastin production and correct scarred, damaged, or uneven skin. By puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles, microneedling forces the body to reactivate its healing processes, resulting in smoother, more attractive skin.
Typically, microneedling is performed on the face, neck, or chest, but it can be applied elsewhere depending on the patient’s needs. Many patients use microneedling to minimize the visibility of stretch marks on their thighs and stomach, or to reduce age marks on their back or neck.
Microneedling is an appropriate way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, and hyperpigmentation for most patients interested in the treatment.
