Microneedling gives patients a minimally invasive way to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars and fine lines, and restore a healthier glow, all without surgery or significant downtime. At Greco Dermatology's Venice office, microneedling is enhanced with the practice's proprietary regenerative techniques for results that go beyond a standard treatment.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-punctures in the skin.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, these micro-injuries prompt the body's natural healing response, triggering the production of new collagen and elastin without drawing blood or damaging the skin's surface.
The result is a gradual improvement in skin texture, tone, and firmness as the skin repairs and rebuilds itself over the following weeks. Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands, and is commonly used to address:
- Enlarged pores
- Fine lines
- Uneven texture
- Mild scarring
Devices used for aesthetic microneedling are regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class II medical devices, meaning they are held to specific safety and effectiveness controls before they can be marketed for cosmetic use.
