Microneedling is where we use a handheld device to create controlled injury to the skin in the form of tiny holes. Your skin responds to this injury by building collagen and elastin, which helps fill in fine lines and wrinkles, improve discoloration, and address acne scarring. This treatment is a pick-me-up for your skin with minimal downtime and impressive results. At Columbus Facial Plastics, our experienced providers deliver Columbus microneedling treatments with precision and care.

FAQ ABOUT MICRONEEDLING IN COLUMBUS:
Almost anyone is an excellent candidate for microneedling. It’s an excellent starting point for those new to aesthetic treatments or hesitant about more aggressive treatments, and perfect for people whose skin looks dull or tired. It can benefit younger patients with acne scarring as well as older clients concerned about wrinkles.
Most patients describe microneedling as feeling like a sunburn during treatment. Some people feel nothing or just feel pressure, while others experience minimal discomfort. After treatment, patients may experience irritated skin, but it should never be painful to the touch.
Be very cautious for about a week with no active ingredients–this means no acids, retinol, vitamin C, or exfoliants. We recommend gentle cleanser, gentle moisturizer, and sunscreen only during this time. Though you might experience some flaking, resist the urge to scrub or exfoliate as your skin heals naturally. It’s also crucial to avoid sun exposure while your skin is healing and always use SPF to protect your skin and help maintain results.
At-home devices can’t match our professional Columbus microneedling treatments for several reasons:
- Cleanliness: We thoroughly sanitize equipment and use new needles for each patient.
- Pain Tolerance: Our medical-grade numbing cream allows for more effective treatment depths
- Results: At-home devices can’t reach therapeutic depths. In some cases, these over-the-counter devices can cause more damage to skin.
While you’ll notice some improvement quickly, we recommend a series of three microneedling sessions spaced every four to six weeks to reach your goals. Once you achieve your desired outcome, maintenance treatments a couple times a year help preserve your results. Your body continually creates collagen and elastin post-treatment, but is also breaking them down, so periodic treatments maintain your skin’s rejuvenation.
