Microneedling
Conveniently located to serve Seattle and Bellevue
Jump To
Microneedling at RP Plastic Surgery offers a safe, non-surgical way to improve skin tone, firmness, and texture. By stimulating collagen production, this treatment helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars, and large pores. Patients in Seattle and Bellevue choose microneedling to restore a more even, youthful complexion without downtime or invasive procedures.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, uses a handheld device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These small injuries activate the body’s natural healing process. As the skin repairs itself, it produces more collagen and elastin.
This process helps strengthen the skin’s structure, improve elasticity, and create a smoother appearance. Some patients also include platelet-rich plasma (PRP) or medical-grade serums to support healing and enhance results.
Why Patients Choose Microneedling for Skin Rejuvenation
Microneedling is a versatile option for treating a wide range of skin concerns. It suits most skin types and offers noticeable improvements with minimal recovery. Key benefits include:
- Smoother, more refined skin texture
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
- Smaller pores and firmer skin
- Improved tone and brightness
- Less visible acne scars and pigmentation
Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and other areas of concern.
Are You a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling may be appropriate if you have mild to moderate skin concerns. You may be a good candidate if you have:
- Acne scarring
- Early signs of aging
- Sun damage or uneven tone
- Enlarged pores
- Mild skin laxity
- Rough or uneven texture
Patients with active acne, eczema, or certain skin conditions may need to delay treatment. An in-person consultation will help confirm whether microneedling is your best choice.
What to Expect During the Microneedling Procedure
Your provider applies a topical numbing cream to help minimize discomfort. Once the skin is prepared, they gently move a specialized microneedling device across the treatment area. This creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural collagen production.
To finish, your provider applies calming products and reviews your aftercare instructions to promote proper recovery. The whole appointment usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes.
Timeline for Recovery and Results After Microneedling
After treatment, most patients notice redness and mild sensitivity for one to three days. These effects are similar to a light sunburn. It is best to avoid sun exposure, strenuous exercise, and active skincare products for a short period.
Results may begin to appear within one week. Skin will feel smoother, and texture will gradually improve. For long-lasting results, patients often complete a series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.
