Thank you for asking the question about the benefit of improving the laxity of skin with microneedling.

See an experienced doctor who can perform this combination approach. Good luck.

Great question! Although microneedling is shown to stimulate collagen and elasticity while allowing the skin to repair itself, minimizing the appearance of acne scars and large pores, it will not build up enough to increase cheek volume. It's best to consult with your plastic surgeon regarding a...
