Renew your skin’s natural beauty with microneedling treatments at Wingate Plastic Surgery.
Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment that uses controlled injury to rejuvenate your face. Also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), it triggers your skin’s natural repair mechanisms by creating tiny injuries in the treatment area.
Your microneedling treatment can take place in the comfort of our Malvern office. To begin, we will apply an anesthetic to the surface of your skin to keep you comfortable. Then, we will move the microneedling device evenly across your skin, creating microscopic injuries in the treatment area. To enhance your results, we may combine your microneedling with platelet-rich plasma, topical gels, creams, and serums.
There is little to no downtime after microneedling. Your skin may be irritated and red for a few days, but it won’t prevent you from going to work or school. Your skin will quickly begin generating fresh tissue in response to the injured area and you should see your results within a couple of weeks.
Both procedures are safe, effective, and non-surgical ways to correct signs of aging, such as scarring, uneven skin tone, texture issues, fine lines, wrinkles, and more. In general, we recommend microneedling if your goal is to achieve vibrant, youthful skin overall. Conversely, if you want more dramatic aesthetic results, laser skin resurfacing may be in your best interest.

It depends on your goals and skin quality. Most of our patients need multiple sessions for optimal results.
Both of these treatments improve your skin texture and quality, but microdermabrasion does so without needles. Instead, it uses a rough texture to exfoliate the outer layers of your skin. Microneedling treats the tissue beneath the surface of your skin, so the results are more substantial.
The most popular microneedling treatment areas are the face, neck, and chest.
