What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a breakthrough skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates your body’s natural healing process. Microneedling creates micro-injuries in the skin’s surface with an electronically controlled pen with tiny, precise needles. The micro-injuries trigger the skin to renew itself with fresh collagen and elastin. Ideal for both men and women, microneedling in Philadelphia & Plymouth Meeting at W Skin Studio™ is a fast, minimally invasive option for achieving smoother, more youthful-looking skin. It’s perfect for those seeking impressive results without the downtime associated with more intense procedures like laser resurfacing.

How Does Microneedling Work?

During a microneedling session at W Skin Studio™, we use the latest microneedling technology—the SkinPen—which outperforms traditional rollers by delivering more precise and consistent results. The procedure creates controlled micro-injuries into the skin’s surface, stimulating your body’s natural healing process. As collagen and elastin production increase, your skin will gradually become firmer, smoother, and more even in texture.

Your Microneedling Experience: What to Expect

Before your treatment, we apply a numbing cream to ensure your comfort. Once the skin is prepped, a rejuvenating serum is applied, and the SkinPen is carefully moved across the treatment area, creating tiny channels in the skin. These micro-wounds trigger your body’s healing response, resulting in new collagen and elastin production.

Skin regeneration is caused by the microtrauma to the skin, but  benefits also occur because small skin channels are disrupted by the treatment allowing rejuvenative growth factors that are applied during the treatment to penetrate into the deeper layers. Each session takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated, and is tailored specifically to your skincare needs. You’ll leave the studio with refreshed, glowing skin!

Is Microneedling Painful?

Thanks to the numbing cream we apply before the procedure, microneedling is virtually painless. Most patients describe the sensation as mildly uncomfortable at most. Our skilled providers ensure the treatment is as comfortable as possible. It also dramatically boosts the effectiveness of topical skincare treatments, making it an excellent choice for those looking to optimize their skincare regimen.
