Microneedling

The power of natural healing to correct imperfections.

Looking for an ideal treatment for acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, loose skin, large pore size, stretch marks, pigmentation, sun damage, and for improving the overall texture of skin? Then Microneedling is worth considering. Due to minimal downtime, this procedure has become highly favored over more invasive types of skin rejuvenation procedures such as laser or plastic surgery. Treatments can be done in any season and it is safe to use on skin of color.

At Johns Creek Dermatology, Microneedling has evolved into one of the most effective and promising procedures for overall skin rejuvenation in the hands of our board-certified dermatologists. Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy. At Johns Creek Dermatology, we use the SkinPen device, a highly effective FDA-approved Microneedling pen. This device uses tiny needles to make micro-injuries without significant damage to the skin, which induces tissue remodeling through the natural wound healing processes. Microneedling boosts collagen underneath the skin and brings increased blood flow back to the skin’s surface, which smooths and brightens skin tone and texture. Microneedling can be combined with Blood Growth Factors, Biopelle intensive serum or other boosters for even more optimal and expedited results.
