Stimulate Collagen. Restore Radiance. Reveal Healthier Skin.
At Elegance Renewed MedSpa in Pickens, SC, we believe that beautiful skin starts from within. Microneedling—also known as collagen induction therapy—is one of our most effective, non-invasive solutions for rejuvenating skin, minimizing imperfections, and restoring youthful texture.
Performed by Dr. Jessica Johnson, microneedling is a favorite among patients seeking smoother, firmer, more radiant skin without harsh chemicals, heat, or downtime. Whether you're concerned about acne scars, fine lines, or overall skin dullness, this treatment offers real results with minimal recovery time.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses a specialized device with tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate your body’s natural healing process—boosting collagen and elastin production, which are the building blocks of healthy, youthful skin.
Over time, this process improves skin texture, tone, and firmness, making it a highly effective treatment for a range of concerns and skin types.
What Does Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling is versatile and results-driven. It’s commonly used to address:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
- Enlarged pores
- Sun damage and discoloration
- Uneven tone and rough texture
- Loss of firmness or elasticity
It’s also excellent for preventative aging in younger skin or as part of a maintenance routine to support a radiant, glowing complexion.
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
Patients love microneedling because it’s:
- Non-surgical with minimal downtime
- Safe for most skin types
- Customizable to target specific concerns
- Able to enhance absorption of skincare products
- A natural way to stimulate collagen production
- Effective in both face and body areas
Dr. Johnson often combines microneedling with Ariessence PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) or a chemical peel to amplify results—especially for patients targeting deeper scars or signs of aging.
What Is the Treatment Process Like?
Personalized Consultation
As always, your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Jessica Johnson. She’ll examine your skin, learn about your goals, and customize the depth and intensity of your microneedling treatment for the best possible outcome.
During the Treatment
- Your skin is cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic for comfort
- A sterile microneedling device is passed over the skin in targeted areas
- The treatment creates micro-channels, which may cause slight pinpoint bleeding—this is normal and short-lived
- A soothing serum or recovery mask is applied immediately afterward
The procedure takes about 45–60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
What Can I Expect Afterward?
Microneedling is known for its low-downtime recovery. Here’s what to expect:
- Mild redness and sensitivity immediately after treatment—similar to a sunburn
- Skin may feel tight, dry, or slightly rough for 1–3 days
- Peeling or flaking may occur as skin renews
- Most patients resume normal activities within 24–48 hours
- Makeup can typically be worn after 24 hours (unless advised otherwise by Dr. Johnson)
Within a week, you’ll start to notice a healthier glow, with full results developing over the next several weeks as collagen production ramps up.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
For general skin rejuvenation, a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typically recommended. For deeper concerns such as acne scarring or more advanced signs of aging, 6 or more sessions may be suggested.
Dr. Johnson will create a personalized treatment plan based on your skin condition, goals, and lifestyle.
Is Microneedling Safe?
Yes—when performed by a trained and licensed provider like Dr. Jessica Johnson, microneedling is a very safe and effective procedure. It uses sterile, single-use needle cartridges and follows strict hygiene protocols.
Microneedling is also safe for all skin tones, making it a great option for patients who may not be candidates for laser treatments or chemical peels.
