Microneedling in Rosemont

Microneedling uses a device with controlled needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These “micro-injuries” trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This rebuilds the skin’s structure from the inside out as your body heals, improving texture, reducing fine lines, minimizing scars, and creating a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance. The treatment also enhances the absorption of topical serums, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper.

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment for microneedling in Rosemont. We apply a topical numbing cream to ensure you remain comfortable, and the sensation is often described as a light prickling or tingling. Because the needles penetrate only the superficial layers of the skin, pain is far less than with more invasive procedures. Some mild tenderness or warmth is normal after treatment, but typically resolves within a day or 2.

The number of sessions varies depending on your skin type, concerns, and goals. Many patients see noticeable improvements after 3 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. For acne scars or deeper texture concerns, our providers may recommend additional treatments with microneedling in Rosemont. Your provider assesses your skin and designs a personalized plan, promoting gradual improvement and natural-looking results without over-treating the skin.

You may notice subtle changes within 1 to 2 weeks, such as smoother skin and a refreshed appearance. Collagen and elastin rebuild gradually, so full results typically develop over 2 to 3 months, with continued improvements for up to 6 months. Regular sessions or maintenance treatments can help sustain results for a longer period of time.

Absolutely! Microneedling pairs well with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), growth factor serums, and certain laser treatments to enhance collagen production and target multiple skin concerns at once. Combining therapies can accelerate results, improve skin tone and texture, and provide a more comprehensive rejuvenation plan tailored to your goals.

Recovery is usually quick after your session of microneedling in Rosemont at CASI. You can expect mild redness, warmth, or slight swelling for 24 to 48 hours, similar to a light sunburn. Some patients notice minor flaking or dryness as the skin renews itself. Avoid direct sun exposure, harsh skincare products, and vigorous exercise during the first day or 2. Your provider gives you post-care instructions to protect your skin and maximize your results.

We recommend waiting at least 24 to 48 hours before applying makeup. This allows the skin to calm down and heal. Afterward, you can enjoy smoother makeup application as the skin’s refreshed texture creates a more even canvas for foundation or concealer.

Microneedling stimulates long-lasting collagen and elastin production, providing structural improvements for the skin. However, aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle factors continue to affect skin over time. Maintenance treatments every 6 to 12 months can help preserve your results and keep your skin looking healthy, firm, and radiant.
