How Often Should I Get Microneedling?
Skin concerns like dullness, hyperpigmentation, or lines and wrinkles can affect your confidence, and at-home treatments may not be enough. Microneedling signals your skin cells to produce more collagen, firming and tightening your skin while restoring a healthy, vibrant surface. Even better, microneedling results are long-lasting and can be maintained as long as you want.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is sometimes called collagen induction therapy due to the amount of new collagen produced after treatment. Since collagen is the primary protein that gives your skin strength and resilience, microneedling treats a wide range of conditions. At Rejuve Med Spa, we use the revolutionary SkinPen® for microneedling. This device creates tiny channels in the skin’s surface that stimulate a powerful healing response.
How Often Should I Get Microneedling?
Collagen induction therapy takes time to show results as your skin adds new collagen to its support matrix. Most people need a series of treatments to achieve their desired results. Deeper textural issues such as lines and wrinkles will require more sessions than more minor signs of aging. The average person will achieve the results they want in three to six sessions.
Once you have achieved your desired results, your collagen levels will stay high for six months or more. Most people can maintain their results as long as they want with yearly maintenance treatments. We will work with you to develop a schedule that keeps your skin looking as smooth and firm as possible.
What Can Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling with SkinPen® is a versatile treatment that can address many different skin issues. We often recommend microneedling for those struggling with:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone
- Acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation
- Enlarged pores
- Dullness
- Dark spots
- Sun damage
- Stretch marks
Microneedling can be performed almost anywhere on your body, as well as your face. It can help erase the appearance of stretch marks and sun damage on areas such as the neck, hands, and chest.

Is There Any Downtime After Microneedling?
One of the benefits of microneedling is its lack of recovery time. You can return to your usual activities immediately with no downtime. Your skin may look red and feel sensitive for up to a few days. During this time, avoid wearing makeup, use sunscreen, and avoid sun exposure to protect your developing collagen from UV damage. We can recommend products to help your skin enjoy the maximum benefits of treatment.
Am I a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling is safe and effective for almost all healthy adults. Unlike many lasers, it works well on all skin types and tones. Good candidates should have reasonable expectations and understand the potential risks and benefits. You should not have microneedling if you have a skin infection or active skin condition. It is also not recommended for those who have certain medical or skin conditions.
