From Scars to Smooth: Real Skin Concerns Microneedling Can Address

Let me just say it, I love microneedling. It’s one of those treatments people underestimate until they actually try it. Then they come back and say, “Why didn’t I start this sooner?” And I get it. When you’ve got scarring, wrinkles, or skin that’s lost its glow, it can feel like you’re stuck with it.

But you're not. Microneedling gives your skin the nudge it needs to repair itself from the inside out. It's not fluff. It's collagen, science, and real results. And it's one of my go-tos for clients dealing with acne scars, fine lines, and skin laxity, especially during weight loss.

What It Does (and Why It Works)

Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. That might sound a little intense, but those micro-injuries are exactly what trigger your body to produce collagen and elastin. The goal isn’t to cause damage, it’s to activate healing.

The result is skin that feels firmer, smoother, and more even. And unlike some treatments that just sit on top, this one works below the surface, where it really matters.

My Personal Go-To

I’ve lost 100 pounds. And when that happens, especially around your face and neck, your skin doesn’t always bounce back on its own. I didn’t take many before pictures, but if you saw my neck back then, you’d know why I’m so passionate about this. I micro-needle monthly. It works.

Clients often ask me, “Should I wait until I’m done losing weight?” No. Start now. Tighten as you go. You’ll thank yourself later. Waiting until the end often means you’re trying to fix what’s already sagged. Prevention works better.

What It Helps With

Here’s what I see most often in our clinic, real people with real skin concerns:

• Acne scars that leave uneven texture
  
• Fine lines around the eyes and mouth
  
• “Crepey” skin from weight loss or aging
  
• Uneven skin tone or texture
  
• Enlarged pores
  
• Early signs of sagging or loss of firmness
  

If you’ve looked in the mirror and thought, “I feel young, but my skin doesn’t look it,” this might be your treatment.

The Boosters: Exosomes, Vamp, and More

We’re not just microneedling for the sake of microneedling. We pair it with targeted serums that go deep into the skin during treatment. This includes things like exosomes (think: live cellular messengers that help with repair), and my personal favorite, Vamp.

Yes, Vamp. It’s called the salmon facial. And yes, I know it sounds like a Halloween promo waiting to happen. October clients, get ready for the full “vamp-glow” effect.

We have a few other boosters we’re bringing in soon, and I’ll share more as they land. But just know this—what we put into your skin during treatment matters. It’s not one-size-fits-all.

How Often Should You Do It?

Microneedling works best in a series. I recommend once a month for three months to start. After that, maintenance twice a year keeps everything tight, especially if you're on a weight loss journey.

Think of it as building a strong foundation. Collagen takes time to produce, but once your skin gets the message, it responds.

Final Word: It's Not Just About Looks

Yes, it helps with wrinkles and scars. But more than that, microneedling helps you feel like yourself again. When your skin reflects the work you’re putting in, whether that’s through weight loss, hormones, or lifestyle changes, it’s a big confidence boost.

This is still medicine. And this is about you, not some filtered version of you, but the real one underneath. We help you glow from the inside out.
