Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that helps improve texture, tone, and overall skin quality by encouraging your body’s natural healing response. Using fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin—key building blocks for smoother, healthier-looking skin.
At Winter Park Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, we offer microneedling to help address a range of skin concerns, and we’ll tailor your treatment to your unique needs, goals, and lifestyle. If deeper tightening or additional correction is needed, we may recommend Genius RF™ microneedling as part of your plan to help you restore healthy, youthful, radiant skin.
You may be a good candidate for microneedling if you’re looking to improve:
During your consultation, we’ll talk through your concerns together and help determine whether traditional microneedling or Genius RF—or another skin care treatment altogether—is the best way to support your skin health.
Microneedling offers a range of benefits, such as:
By stimulating collagen and elastin production, microneedling helps strengthen the skin over time—making it a versatile option for patients who want noticeable improvement without aggressive treatment.
Microneedling works by using tiny needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, which signal the body to repair and strengthen the treated area. As the skin heals, new collagen and elastin are produced, helping improve texture, firmness, and overall skin quality.
For those needing deeper correction, Genius RF™ delivers radiofrequency energy through the microneedles to promote greater collagen stimulation. Both approaches support the skin’s natural healing process, leading to gradual, natural-looking improvement over time. We’ll guide you toward the level of treatment that best matches your needs and comfort.
Microneedling and Genius RF™ microneedling treatment options allow us to tailor your treatment precisely to your skin and goals.
Microneedling may also be combined with treatments such as chemical peels, BBL® Photorejuvenation, or SkinTyte® when appropriate. We’ll help you understand how these treatments work together and what combination makes the most sense for you.
Downtime after microneedling is typically minimal, though it varies by treatment type.
After your treatment:
Visible improvements develop gradually as collagen rebuilds. Many patients notice smoother, brighter skin within a few weeks, with continued improvement over time. A series of treatments is often recommended for best results, and we’ll help you set expectations based on your skin and goals.
Traditional microneedling focuses on improving skin texture, tone, and overall quality by stimulating collagen near the surface of the skin. Genius RF™ microneedling builds on this approach by delivering radiofrequency energy through the microneedles, allowing for deeper collagen stimulation and additional skin tightening. During your consultation, we’ll help you understand which option—or combination—best supports your skin goals.
For microneedling, common treatment areas include the face, neck, chest, and hands—areas where collagen support and texture improvement are most vulnerable to aging and damage. For areas with more noticeable laxity or deeper structural concerns—such as the lower face or neck—Genius RF™ microneedling may be recommended to provide additional skin tightening. During your consultation, we’ll help you understand which areas may benefit most from each approach.
Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. The exact number depends on your skin concerns and whether traditional microneedling or Genius RF is used. We’ll recommend what’s most appropriate for your skin and goals.
Microneedling is usually painless. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, and most patients describe the sensation as manageable pressure or vibration.
Most results from microneedling develop gradually and naturally over time. Some patients also notice early improvements in texture and brightness, with continued enhancement as collagen rebuilds over the following weeks.
Yes. Microneedling is often combined with treatments like Genius RF microneedling, chemical peels, BBL® photorejuvenation, or skin tightening to address multiple concerns. We’ll help you decide which options make sense for your goals.
