Can microneedling make the skin more firm?

Question

Can it fix sagging of the skin?

Hooman Khorasani, MD · Answer

Wonderful question.  Microneedling can stimulate collagen regeneration and when combined with PRP it can improve scars in a variety of skin types.  This includes acne scars, chickenpox scars and surgical scars. It can also rejuvenate and tighten the skin - thus making it firmer.   The expectations of treatment are pinpoint bleeding and localized irritation.  Side effects are rare when the correct technique is used.

Steven Swengel, MD · Answer

Every microneedling treatment creates controlled points of injury that will cause skin to repair, replace and return to more normal appearance.  That being said, I do not ever promote microneedling as a treatment for sagging skin.  Delivery of radiofrequency in a microneedling event with a system called Infini can significantly improve sagging skin.  Other systems that can help sagging skin include Thermi and Ultherapy.  The ultimate fix is surgical, but these systems can postpone the need for surgery for up  to 10 years.

Microneedling has been a very desirable treatment for many due to the amazing results with little downtime. Microneedling also known as CIT (Collagen Induction Therapy) is a controlled injury to the skin. The skin needs collagen to heal, after the skin has been injured with the needling, the skin starts repairing with the collagen boost leaving your skin tighter, smoother, firmer, and rejuvenated!! Depending on the laxity in the skin, additional treatment such a laser skin tightening may help improve your overall results.

Microneedling done regularly will firm the skin. However, if there is too much sagging, you may need combination treatments such as noninvasive Ultherapy or less invasive ThermiTight. If there is oo much laxity, surgical intervention like facelift. Dr H Karamanoukian #RealSelf100 Member

Absolutely. Regular micro needling can stimulate collagen, tightening the skin. Energy based insulated RF micro needling provides the very best results, with minimal downtime. Video below show the evolution and types of micro needling available. All the bestDr Davin LimLaser and aesthetic dermatologistBrisbane, Australia.
