Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-punctures in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin - the proteins responsible for firm, smooth, youthful-looking skin. At Laser and Me in Midtown Manhattan, we use medical-grade microneedling devices for safe, effective treatment of a wide range of skin concerns.
During a microneedling session at Laser and Me in NYC, a sterile device with fine needles is passed over the treatment area, creating thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin's wound healing cascade, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. The result is progressively firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin over the weeks and months following treatment. Topical serums containing vitamins, peptides, and hyaluronic acid are applied during treatment to enhance results.
Microneedling is effective for a wide range of skin concerns. It visibly reduces the appearance of acne scars, including rolling, boxcar, and ice pick scars. It smooths fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production. It improves skin texture, pore size, and overall radiance. It can also treat stretch marks, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Microneedling is safe for all skin types, including darker Fitzpatrick types.
Before your microneedling session at Laser and Me, a topical numbing cream is applied for 30 to 45 minutes to ensure comfort. The treatment itself takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on the treatment area. After treatment, the skin appears red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Most clients can return to normal activities the next day with appropriate skincare.
