Microneedling for Face in Frederick, MD

Smooth Texture, Boost Collagen, and Reveal Radiant Results

If you’re searching for a minimally invasive treatment that delivers big results, microneedling may be exactly what your skin needs. This innovative procedure stimulates your body’s natural collagen production to improve tone, texture, and elasticity—giving you smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

What is Microneedling? And What Does Microneedling Do for You?

Microneedling—also called collagen induction therapy—involves using a device with ultra-fine needles to create microchannels in the skin. This controlled injury triggers your body’s natural healing process, increasing the production of collagen and elastin.

The benefits of microneedling include:

  • Diminished fine lines and wrinkles

  • Improved skin tone and texture

  • Minimized appearance of pores

  • Reduction in acne scars and hyperpigmentation

  • Increased absorption of skincare products

  • Firmer, more youthful skin

For those wanting to enhance their results, microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) uses your body’s own growth factors to accelerate healing and amplify rejuvenation.

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Facial

Your appointment begins with a thorough skin consultation. A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort before your provider uses a professional microneedling pen to treat the face. The process takes about 45-90 minutes.

After the treatment, your skin may appear red—similar to a sunburn—and feel warm or tight for 24–48 hours. You may also experience minor flaking as the skin naturally exfoliates.

Most patients start noticing visible improvements in skin texture within 1–2 weeks. For optimal results, we recommend a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Microneedling Cost & Recovery

How much does microneedling cost?

Plain microneedling is $450 per session but may range depending on the area treated and whether you add PRP. We offer package pricing for multi-session plans.

  • Minimal downtime—most clients return to regular activities within 24 hours

  • Avoid makeup, exfoliants, and direct sun exposure for 48 hours

  • Use gentle cleansers and hydrating serums as directed

  • Results can last 4–6 months with proper skincare and sun protection

What is the downside of microneedling?

While generally well-tolerated, temporary redness, dryness, and sensitivity are common. In rare cases, minor bruising or irritation may occur.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling:

  • Yes! Microneedling is ideal for improving fine lines, acne scars, and skin texture without the downtime of more aggressive treatments.

  • Chemical peels exfoliate the skin using acids, while microneedling stimulates collagen production by creating micro-injuries. Microneedling is better for deeper concerns like acne scars and loss of elasticity, while peels target surface-level pigmentation and texture.

  • Results typically last several months and can be extended with good skincare and sun protection. Many clients return quarterly to maintain their glow.

  • Yes! Unlike laser treatments, microneedling is safe and effective for all skin tones.

  • While most common on the face, microneedling can also be used on the neck, chest, hands, and even stretch marks on the body.
