If you want smoother, firmer skin but prefer to skip anything too intense, microneedling could be a great fit.
Dr. Deborah Farrell and her aesthetics team use the Eclipse MicroPen® Elite at Farrell Plastic Surgery & Laser Center in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. This handheld device helps jumpstart your skin’s natural repair process without a lot of downtime or discomfort.
First, a Quick Consultation
Your session starts with a one-on-one consultation. We’ll look at your skin and talk through what microneedling can help with. That includes issues like fine lines, large pores, acne scars, or uneven texture.
We will walk you through what to expect if we feel your skin could benefit from this treatment. If not, we will point you toward a better option.
What the Treatment Feels Like
Once you’re settled in and ready for treatment, we’ll cleanse your skin and apply a numbing cream so you stay comfortable.
Then comes the MicroPen. It has 12 tiny needles that create microchannels in the skin. Most people describe it as a light buzzing or a gentle prickling sensation. The treatment usually takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
What Happens After?
You might leave the office with a bit of redness that fades in a day or two. There’s no major downtime, but you’ll want to skip makeup and sun exposure for a little while.
Your skin will produce new collagen and elastin as it starts to heal from the treatment, gradually making your face look firmer. Some people notice a fresh glow right away, but the full results tend to show up over several weeks.
When Will You See Results?
You will most likely see the best outcome if you schedule a few sessions spaced out over time. It’s a slow build, not a dramatic overnight change – but that’s the beauty of it. Your skin improves naturally, and the results tend to last with proper maintenance and care.
