Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive skin treatment used to improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, stretch marks, and discoloration. By stimulating the body’s natural healing response, microneedling promotes smoother, firmer skin over time—without the need for lasers or surgery.
MacInnis Dermatology offers medical-grade microneedling at our offices in Leesburg, The Villages, and Mt. Dora.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling uses a device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the surface of the skin. These micro-channels trigger the body’s healing process, which includes the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
Microneedling may be used to improve:
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Mild to moderate acne scarring
- Discoloration or uneven skin tone
- Stretch marks and sun damage
- Overall skin texture and resilience
The treatment is often recommended as part of a broader skin rejuvenation plan and may be combined with other therapies based on your skin goals.
Who Might Benefit from Microneedling
Microneedling is safe for a wide range of skin types and can be customized to treat specific concerns on the face or body. It’s especially popular among patients looking for visible improvement with minimal downtime.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have visible acne scars, stretch marks, or fine lines
- Are concerned about skin laxity or rough texture
- Prefer a non-ablative treatment with short recovery time
- Are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medications that affect skin healing
A consultation is required to determine if microneedling is right for your skin and to establish a safe, effective treatment plan.
What to Expect
Your provider will apply a topical numbing cream before treatment to improve comfort. The microneedling device is then passed over the skin to create uniform micro-injuries. Most sessions take about 30 to 45 minutes.
After the procedure, you may experience redness or mild sensitivity similar to a sunburn for 1 to 3 days. Visible flaking or tightness may also occur as your skin heals. Most patients see gradual improvement over several weeks, with optimal results after a series of treatments.
