What Is Microneedling?
Conditions Treated With
Microneedling at Ortho-Rejuv
Skin Discoloration
Microneedling stimulates the production of new skin cells, improving the appearance of uneven skin tones and discoloration. This treatment helps to break down pigment and promote a more uniform complexion.
Melasma
Microneedling targets the deeper layers of the skin to reduce melasma, a condition causing brown patches. By stimulating the regeneration of skin cells, it helps fade the dark spots and balance the skin tone.
Acne Scars
Microneedling accelerates the healing of acne scars by triggering the skin’s natural repair process. The treatment encourages the formation of new, healthy tissue that smooths out pitted or raised areas.
Surgical Scars
Microneedling can reduce the visibility of surgical scars by promoting collagen production in the scar tissue. This helps soften and flatten scars, making them less noticeable.
Wrinkles
By stimulating collagen production, microneedling smooths fine lines and wrinkles, rejuvenating the skin for a youthful appearance. The treatment enhances skin elasticity, reducing the depth and visibility of wrinkles.
Hair Loss
Microneedling helps with hair loss by increasing blood flow to the scalp and stimulating dormant hair follicles. This encourages hair regrowth and improves the overall health of the scalp.
Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
For those suffering from excessive sweating, microneedling can reduce sweat gland activity by promoting collagen production in the affected areas. This helps minimize sweat production and improve skin comfort.

Recovery After Microneedling Treatment
In the immediate aftermath of a microneedling treatment, it is common to experience redness and sensitivity akin to a mild sunburn, which can last from a few hours to a couple of days, depending on individual skin sensitivity and treatment intensity. Swelling and tightness in the treated area are normal and typically diminish within 24 to 48 hours. During the first day, it is crucial to use gentle skincare products, avoid active ingredients like retinoids or acids that might irritate the skin, and refrain from applying makeup to prevent clogging the microchannels.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
Improves Skin Texture
Microneedling enhances the skin’s texture by stimulating collagen production, which helps smooth out rough patches. This procedure supports the skin’s natural healing process, leading to a more even and refined skin surface.
Corrects Skin Discoloration
Microneedling helps break down pigmentation and promotes the regeneration of skin cells, reducing areas of discoloration. The treatment creates an even skin tone, correcting dark spots and sun damage.
Promotes Skin Rejuvenation
By triggering collagen production, microneedling promotes skin rejuvenation, revitalizing aging skin. This process helps restore a youthful glow, improving the skin’s elasticity and firmness.
Enhances Skin Exfoliation
Microneedling accelerates the natural exfoliation by removing dead skin cells and stimulating new cell growth. This contributes to overall skin health, leaving the tissues brighter, smoother, and more radiant.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Microneedling reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen and elastin production. The treatment smooths the skin, reducing the depth of wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.
Stimulates Hair Growth
By increasing blood flow to the scalp and encouraging follicle activity, microneedling stimulates hair growth. This creates healthier skin on the scalp, supporting stronger and thicker hair growth.

Frequently Asked Questions
A typical microneedling session usually takes about 30 to 60 minutes. This duration can vary depending on the size of the area being treated and the specific concerns being addressed.
Microneedling is generally not considered to be very painful. Most patients report only mild discomfort. To enhance comfort, a topical numbing cream is commonly applied to the treatment area before the microneedling procedure.
The journey to optimal results with microneedling often involves multiple treatments tailored to individual skin concerns and goals:
- To achieve a refreshed and improved skin texture, particularly for addressing concerns like dullness, it is often recommended to undergo a series of three to four microneedling sessions, each spaced approximately 4 to 6 weeks apart.
- When addressing more specific issues like stretch marks, a slightly longer course of treatment is often necessary, with 4 to 6 procedures recommended for noticeable improvement.
- Deep scars and acne scarring may require six or more sessions to achieve significant results.
Each procedure contributes to the gradual and cumulative process of skin repair and rejuvenation, with the spacing between treatments allowing the skin to heal and respond optimally. This personalized approach ensures that each microneedling patient receives an effective and appropriate treatment plan for their specific skin needs, whether for enhancing overall skin brightness or targeting more stubborn concerns like stretch marks or deep scars.
The downtime after microneedling or collagen induction therapy is minimal. Patients may experience redness and mild swelling a few days post-treatment, similar to a mild sunburn. Most people can return to their normal activities within a day.
After microneedling, it is essential to:
- Apply sunscreen regularly and avoid direct sun exposure.
- Use gentle skincare products without active ingredients like retinoids and acids for a short period.
- Avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment to prevent microchannel blockage.
- Stay hydrated and steer clear of strenuous activities for a few days.
- Avoid exfoliating the skin or using abrasive products until the tissues fully heal.
