Uneven texture, enlarged pores, acne scars, and early signs of aging can be difficult to change with skin care products alone. At American Surgical Arts in Mullica Hill, NJ, our aesthetic team performs microneedling with Rejuvapen NXT® as part of our Med Spa services. Double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeons Dr. Sean Bidic and Dr. Vinay S. Gundlapalli lead a practice where patients can explore both nonsurgical and surgical options when appropriate.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling uses very fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. This prompts a natural healing response that supports new collagen and elastin production.
The depth can be adjusted according to the area being treated and the concern we are working on. The face is common, but other areas with scars, stretch marks, or textural changes may also be treated.
What Can Microneedling Help Improve?
Patients often consider microneedling for concerns such as:
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Acne scars and other mild scarring
- Enlarged or visible pores
- Uneven tone or texture
- Stretch marks
- Dull or crepey-looking skin
Microneedling is not the answer to every skin concern. If deeper laxity, pigment changes, or another issue is more prominent, we may discuss options such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or Morpheus8.
What Happens During a Microneedling Appointment?
We begin by cleansing the treatment area. A topical numbing product may be applied for comfort before the Rejuvapen NXT device is passed across the skin using settings selected for your needs.
Redness, mild swelling, sensitivity, dryness, or light flaking can occur afterward. These effects typically ease as the skin settles. You will receive instructions for cleansing, moisturizing, sun protection, and when to restart your usual products.
Changes appear gradually as collagen remodeling takes place. Some people benefit from a series of sessions, while others return periodically to maintain their results. We base timing on your skin and how it responds rather than using the same schedule for everyone.
Why Choose American Surgical Arts for Microneedling in Mullica Hill?
Our Med Spa is part of a broader plastic surgery and aesthetic practice, so your skin is not viewed through the lens of one treatment alone. Our team can compare microneedling with other resurfacing and rejuvenation options available in the practice and recommend care that reflects the depth and type of concern you have.
Using Rejuvapen NXT also allows treatment settings to be adjusted for different areas and goals.
Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling
Does Microneedling Hurt?
A topical numbing product may be used before the procedure. Sensation varies, but most patients tolerate the treatment well.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
There is no universal number. The severity of your concern, treatment depth, and response between visits all help shape the schedule.
Can Microneedling Improve Acne Scars?
It can soften the appearance of some acne scars by stimulating collagen remodeling. Deeper scars may require a different or combined approach.
How Much Downtime Should I Expect?
Temporary redness and sensitivity are common. Mild swelling, dryness, or flaking can also occur for a short period.
Who Should Avoid Microneedling?
Active infections and certain skin or medical conditions can affect candidacy. Tell us about your health history, medications, and current skin concerns before treatment.
