Microneedling Overview

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a popular treatment for improving skin texture and reducing concerns like wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks. It works by using a device with tiny, adjustable needles that create micro-injuries in the skin, kickstarting your body’s natural healing response and encouraging fresh, healthy skin to come through.

At MD Beauty Lab, we use the SkinPen, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, and one of the most trusted names in the industry. We love it because it’s clinically proven, backed by more than 90 validation studies, and designed with both safety and results in mind.

The SkinPen’s microneedles create tiny punctures in the skin, which increases blood flow and calls in immune cells to clean and repair the area. That process sets the stage for collagen production and skin remodeling, helping smooth out imperfections and restore a healthy, youthful glow over time.

We believe in treatments that are rooted in science and tailored to you, and SkinPen checks all the boxes.

Benefits of Microneedling

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can be used to address a wide variety of skin issues in several different areas, including the face, abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and décolletage. It can be used to treat:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Enlarged pores
Stretch marks
Loose skin
Uneven skin tone
Acne scars

Am I a Candidate for Microneedling in Portland?

Microneedling can be an effective treatment for just about anyone dealing with cosmetic skin issues, such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, stretch marks, or scarring. While the treatment is generally a safe option for most adults, it is not recommended for women who are currently pregnant or nursing. You should also not undergo microneedling if you’re experiencing an active acne breakout or skin infection near the targeted area.

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment

Before your microneedling appointment, you’ll meet with one of our skin experts to review your medical history, discuss your goals, and answer any questions you may have.

On the day of your SkinPen treatment, we’ll start by gently cleansing your skin. While microneedling doesn’t require anesthesia, we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to help ensure you stay comfortable throughout the session.

Once your skin is numb, our specialist will carefully glide the SkinPen over the treatment area. As the microneedles create tiny channels in the skin, most people describe the sensation as light pressure with a mild buzzing feeling—nothing too uncomfortable.

Your treatment will take between 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. You’ll be able to safely drive home or back to work immediately after your treatment.

Will You Require Any Downtime After Microneedling Treatment?

There’s no downtime required after microneedling, so you can get back to your usual routine right away. We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before applying makeup to give your skin a chance to settle.

It’s normal to experience some mild redness in the treated area, similar to a light sunburn. You might also notice a bit of dryness, tightness, or light peeling, but these side effects typically fade within 24 to 72 hours.

To ensure that your skin heals properly, you should avoid the following for at least 24 hours after your SkinPen treatment:

Strenuous exercise or physical activity
Swimming pools
Saunas
Anything that may cause heavy sweating
