Microneedling
Microneedling stimulates your skin's own collagen to soften acne scars, fine lines, and rough texture — performed at our dermatology office in Leland, NC.

About Microneedling
Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) uses fine, sterile needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin, prompting a repair response that produces fresh collagen and elastin. Over a series of sessions, that translates into smoother texture, softened acne scars, smaller-looking pores, and firmer skin — improvement generated by your own tissue rather than by added material. In a dermatology setting we can safely treat to effective depths and tailor the protocol to your skin type.
