Reduce Wrinkles, Fine Lines, Acne Scars, and Enlarged Pores Tone with Microneedling at Strella Medical Aesthetics
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. Microneedling is commonly used to improve the appearance of various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and texture. It can also enhance the overall skin quality and create a smoother, more youthful complexion.
Microneedling at Strella Medical Aesthetics is suitable for both the face and body. It offers effective skin rejuvenation and revitalization benefits.

How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a specialized device called a microneedling pen or roller. The device contains fine needles that create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin’s surface.
During the procedure, the microneedling device is gently rolled or stamped over the skin, creating micro-injuries. These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins that contribute to the skin’s firmness and elasticity.
As the skin heals, new collagen and elastin fibers form, helping to improve the texture and overall appearance of the skin. Microneedling can also enhance the absorption of skincare products, making it an effective treatment for various skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone.
The procedure is typically performed in a series of sessions, and the results gradually improve over time, revealing smoother, more rejuvenated skin. Microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for various skin types and can be used on different areas of the face and body to address specific concerns effectively.
Types of Microneedling
There are several types of microneedling techniques, each with its unique approach and benefits. The common types of microneedling include:
-
Cosmetic Microneedling: This is the traditional microneedling procedure that uses a Skinpen to create micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. It stimulates collagen production and helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
-
Radiofrequency Microneedling: This advanced technique combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The microneedles deliver controlled heat into the deeper layers of the skin, promoting even more collagen production, tightening sagging skin, and addressing more pronounced skin concerns.
-
Fractional Microneedling: Fractional microneedling uses an array of micro-sized needles to target specific areas of the skin, leaving surrounding skin intact. This fractional approach accelerates healing and minimizes downtime, making it ideal for treating scars and stretch marks.
-
Microneedling with PRP: Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is combined with microneedling to enhance the treatment’s effectiveness. PRP, derived from the patient’s own blood, contains growth factors that further stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture and tone.
Why Microneedling?
Microneedling is a versatile and effective treatment that can address a variety of skin concerns. Some of the common skin issues that microneedling can treat include:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles: Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a smoother and more youthful look.
-
Acne scars: Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of acne scars by promoting the growth of new collagen, which helps to fill in and smooth out the uneven texture of the skin.
-
Hyperpigmentation: Microneedling can improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, such as sunspots, age spots, and melasma, by promoting cell turnover and reducing the concentration of melanin in the skin.
-
Uneven skin texture: The procedure can help improve overall skin texture, making it smoother and more even.
-
Enlarged pores: Microneedling can help reduce the size of enlarged pores by stimulating collagen production, which tightens the skin and makes the pores appear smaller.
-
Stretch marks: Microneedling can be effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen and elastin production, improving the texture of the affected skin.
-
Skin laxity: Microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) or combined with PRP can help tighten loose or sagging skin, improving overall skin firmness and elasticity.
Getting Microneedling at Strella
Microneedling patients can look forward to smoother, rejuvenated skin and an overall improvement in their skin’s appearance and texture.
Before the Procedure: Before undergoing microneedling treatment, patients at Strella Medical Aesthetics can expect a thorough consultation with our skilled professionals. During this consultation, we will discuss the patient’s specific skin concerns, medical history, and desired outcomes. Our experts will assess the patient’s skin type to determine the most suitable treatment approach. Patients will receive detailed pre-treatment instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure, certain skincare products, and medications that can affect skin sensitivity. This comprehensive preparation ensures that patients are well-informed and ready for their microneedling procedure.
During the Procedure: During the microneedling procedure, patients can feel confident in the safe and controlled environment provided by our experienced team. We use state-of-the-art microneedling devices with fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. While some patients may experience mild discomfort, the procedure is generally well-tolerated. For added comfort, a topical numbing cream may be applied before the treatment. The duration of the procedure varies based on the treatment area but typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour. Our practitioners work with precision to ensure even and effective results.
After the Procedure: Following the microneedling session, patients may experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects are normal and generally subside within a day or two. Patients are advised to avoid direct sun exposure and wear sunscreen to protect the treated skin during the healing process. Over the next few days, patients may notice their skin starting to flake and peel, which is part of the natural healing process. This is an indication that new, healthier skin is forming. To optimize the results, patients will receive detailed aftercare instructions, including specific skincare products to use and those to avoid. Proper aftercare is essential for achieving the desired outcome and ensuring the longevity of the results.
