If over-the-counter skincare products are not correcting your skin problems, but you don’t want to undergo a surgical procedure, it is time to consider minimally-invasive skin rejuvenation with microneedling. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is safe, effective, and can help you restore a more youthful, supple, smooth facial appearance – all with no downtime and little-to-no discomfort.
Our Long Island plastic surgeons, Dr. James Romanelli, Dr. John Layliev, and Dr. Andrew Peredo, perform microneedling at our office in Huntington, NY. Microneedling uses many fine needles to effectively and safely create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate elastin and collagen production. These two proteins give your skin its firm, elastic, and supple qualities. Schedule an appointment for a consultation at North Shore Cosmetic Surgery to learn more about the benefits of microneedling and how to get a customized plan to help achieve your skin needs and goals.
You might be a candidate for microneedling if you experience light or mild complexion problems, such as:
The results after microneedling do not appear instantly, so you must be willing to wait and enjoy improvements that appear over time. This is because the production of new collagen and elastin takes time to have an impact on skin quality. Most patients consider it worth the wait because they enjoy results that look natural and significantly improve overall skin health.
One of the underlying causes of fine lines and wrinkles is the gradual reduction in collagen that occurs with age. Microneedling is also termed “collagen induction therapy” because the micro-injuries created during this treatment stimulate your skin’s natural production of collagen, restoring your skin to more youthful, healthy collagen levels for enhanced health and appearance.
Microneedling is performed in a private treatment room and takes between 30 and 60 minutes to complete. We will provide local anesthesia or numbing cream if requested, but most patients feel little or no pain and discomfort during treatment. The skin is cleansed, and then the advanced microneedling handpiece will be passed over the skin with multiple passes in different directions.
Once your microneedling has been completed, a treatment such as PRP (platelet rich plasma) or a vitamin-infused serum may be applied, as microneedling allows the nutrients to penetrate deeper into the skin structure. A moisturizer selected for your skin type will be massaged in along with sunscreen because your newly-treated skin will be very sensitive to the sun for a few days as it heals.

There is no recovery time required after microneedling, though you may have some redness and swelling for the rest of the day. These effects subside quickly on their own. Your results will appear gradually over the following month or two as your skin’s supply of collagen and elastin increases.
You will notice your skin becoming smoother, clearer, and tighter. While some results will appear with a single treatment, most patients require a series of six treatments performed once a month for optimal outcomes and lasting skin benefits.
