Microneedling For Naturally Younger Feeling Skin

Restore texture. Boost collagen. Reveal healthier-looking skin.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that helps your skin repair and renew itself—naturally. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving texture, tone, and overall radiance over time.

At Decatur Dermatology & Aesthetics, microneedling is performed under physician oversight and tailored to your skin goals—whether that’s softening acne scars, smoothing fine lines, or restoring a healthier glow

What Microneedling Can Help Improve

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can be used on the face and body to address:

  • Acne scars and other scars

  • Stretch marks

  • Uneven skin texture and tone

  • Fine lines and early wrinkles

  • Enlarged pores

  • Sun damage and mild skin laxity

Because microneedling stimulates your own collagen, results develop gradually and naturally—no “overdone” look.

How Microneedling Works

A medical-grade microneedling device is used to create precise micro-channels in the skin. These tiny openings signal your body to repair and rebuild, laying down new collagen and elastin as the skin heals.

This process strengthens the skin from within, improving texture and firmness over the weeks following treatment. For best results, a series of treatments is often recommended.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Microneedling is performed comfortably in our office, typically with topical numbing to minimize discomfort. Most sessions last 30–60 minutes, depending on the area treated.

After treatment, your skin may look pink or feel warm—similar to a mild sunburn—for a day or two. Many patients return to normal activities quickly, with visible improvement continuing over the following weeks as collagen rebuilds.
