The Top Benefits of Microneedling
Are you considering this treatment and wondering, “What is microneedling good for?” Microneedling is a highly versatile, minimally invasive treatment that can be performed on both the face and body, making collagen induction therapy an ideal solution for treating everything from delicate, hard-to-reach areas to larger zones in need of rejuvenation. At our practice, collagen induction therapy is performed using the advanced EVO MicroPen, a precision device designed to deliver consistent, controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production. Collagen induction therapy with the EVO MicroPen is safe and effective for all skin types and skin tones, and it can target smaller, more sensitive areas that larger devices cannot easily treat—such as around the eyes, lips, and nose—as well as the chest, neck, and hands for comprehensive skin renewal.
People sometimes ask, “Can microneedling improve skin conditions?” One of the key benefits of microneedling is its ability to significantly improve overall skin quality while addressing specific concerns. This procedure is widely used to reduce the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks, smooth uneven skin texture, soften fine lines and wrinkles, and minimize the look of enlarged pores for a more refined complexion. Patients often choose this procedure not only for its natural-looking results, but also because it is affordable, safe, and requires little to no downtime.
After their session, most patients can quickly return to their normal daily routine, making collagen induction therapy a convenient option for busy lifestyles—just be sure to protect the treated skin from sun exposure as it heals to maximize your results.

Microneedling at South Jersey Skin Care and Laser Center involves creating tiny channels in the skin to kick start natural healing processes and improve a range of cosmetic problems, including wrinkles, scars, and other blemishes.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Patients often ask, “How does microneedling help your skin?” Microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body’s natural healing response and boost collagen and elastin production. Using the state-of-the-art EVO MicroPen, our treatments are performed with precision and consistency, helping to reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin texture. This collagen-induction process makes microneedling a highly effective solution for achieving smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin over time.
You might be wondering, “What happens during microneedling?” or “What is the microneedling procedure?” Before your treatment begins, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure a comfortable experience. The EVO MicroPen is then gently passed over the treatment area multiple times, creating thousands of microscopic channels in the skin for comprehensive and even coverage. These controlled micro-channels are deep enough to trigger the skin’s natural repair process without causing damage or scarring. An added benefit of this treatment is enhanced product absorption—these micro-channels allow medical-grade serums and growth factors to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness. As a result, combining microneedling with targeted skincare products can significantly improve overall results, making microneedling with the EVO MicroPen a powerful, results-driven treatment for total skin rejuvenation.
Why Is Collagen So Important?
As a common protein, collagen is found all throughout the human body. It carries out a variety of roles, mostly related to providing structure, strength, and flexibility. Collagen gives connective tissues their unique properties and skin its supple feel and tone.
Microneedling at NJ’s South Jersey Skin Care involves the creation of numerous channels in the skin, with each channel triggering natural repair actions below the surface. This repair work results in new collagen formation and general improvement in skin texture and health.
Collagen is also closely connected to hyaluronic acid, which is a water-loving carbohydrate that finds a home within the frameworks the structural protein creates. Together, these elements provide the skin with volume for a pleasant roundness.
Unfortunately, degradation of collagen molecules is a reality of aging. Fewer and fewer of them are found in the skin over time. Their loss leads to the creation of hollows and creases as volume diminishes in the face and skin grows lax.
Fresh collagen production, stimulated by microneedling and other treatments, can replenish the molecules’ levels in the skin. Not only does this provide renewed roundness and structure, but collagen’s wound-healing properties can also reduce the appearance of acne scars and other blemishes.

Microneedling FAQs
Another common question we get asked is, “Does microneedling hurt?” A microneedling session is generally comfortable and well tolerated, making microneedling a popular choice for patients seeking effective skin rejuvenation with minimal discomfort. Before your session begins, a topical numbing cream is typically applied to ensure the treatment area remains as comfortable as possible. During microneedling, patients often describe the sensation as a light vibration, gentle pressure, or a mild prickling feeling as the device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen production.
Certain areas of the face, such as the forehead or around the nose, may feel slightly more sensitive during collagen induction therapy, but any discomfort is usually minimal and temporary. After a treatment, the skin may feel warm and tight—similar to a mild sunburn—but this sensation typically fades within a few hours to a day, leaving the skin on its way to looking smoother, firmer, and more radiant.
“How long is the recovery from microneedling?” Is another common concern patients have. Recovery from microneedling is typically quick and straightforward, making microneedling an ideal treatment for patients seeking noticeable skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. After a microneedling session, most patients experience mild redness, slight swelling, and a warm, sunburn-like sensation as the skin begins its natural healing and collagen production process. These common side effects usually subside within 24–72 hours, although some patients may notice light flaking or dryness as the skin renews itself. During recovery, it is important to keep the skin hydrated, avoid direct sun exposure, and use gentle skincare products to support optimal healing. With proper aftercare, microneedling recovery reveals smoother texture, improved tone, and a brighter, more radiant complexion within just a few days.
The number of microneedling sessions needed varies depending on your individual skin concerns, but is typically performed as a series of treatments to achieve the best results. For general skin rejuvenation, many patients benefit from 3–4 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, allowing the skin time to heal and produce new collagen between treatments. For more advanced concerns such as acne scars, fine lines, or uneven texture, a longer microneedling treatment plan of 4–6 sessions or more may be recommended. Because microneedling works by gradually stimulating collagen production, results continue to improve over time with each session. Your provider will customize your schedule based on your skin type, goals, and response to treatment to ensure optimal, long-lasting results.
Many of our patients ask about the cost of microneedling in NJ. Generally speaking, the treatment is very cost-effective, but specific costs vary depending on individual patient needs. We recommend scheduling a complimentary consultation with our licensed medical esthetician for additional information.
A specialized treatment, Vivace™, adds radiofrequency energy to the microneedling process, using the needles as delivery mechanisms for the RF energy. The skin’s response to the combined actions of heat and micro-injuries encourages significant collagen production for a smoother, more youthful look.
Like typical microneedling treatments, the best results are enjoyed after multiple sessions. After several applications of RF energy via microneedling, patients enjoy a brighter, revitalized look that lasts.
Which Treatments Should You Combine with Microneedling?
Microneedling is a highly versatile skin rejuvenation treatment that can be combined with other advanced aesthetic procedures to enhance and accelerate results. At South Jersey Skin Care & Laser Center, this procedure is often paired with treatments like microdermabrasion or dermaplaning to gently polish away the outermost layer of dead skin cells, chemical peels to deeply exfoliate and improve skin tone, and EdgePolish laser skin resurfacing to stimulate collagen production and promote healthy skin cell turnover using targeted energy. For patients seeking a more relaxing, maintenance-focused approach, alternative treatments such as the HydraFacial MD or HydraSmooth can help boost product absorption and overall skin radiance.
By integrating microneedling with these complementary treatments, patients can achieve more noticeable improvements in fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and overall skin clarity. Our experienced team at South Jersey Skin Care & Laser Center will evaluate your skin and create a personalized treatment plan designed to transform your complexion from its current condition to a smoother, firmer, and naturally glowing appearance.
