A Word from Dr. Husain

“Microneedling is one of the most versatile treatments we offer. It can address fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and enlarged pores all at once. When we combine it with PRP or radiofrequency energy, we can achieve even more dramatic results. It is a treatment that truly works with your body’s own healing power.”

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are the proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

The result is improved skin texture, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, diminished acne scars, and a more even skin tone. Dr. Husain has helped patients from Morrisville, Apex, and across the Triangle achieve smoother, more rejuvenated skin.

Our Microneedling Services

Dr. Husain offers several microneedling options to address different skin concerns.

Standard microneedling is effective for overall skin rejuvenation, improving tone, texture, and the appearance of fine lines and enlarged pores.

Microneedling with PRP, often called the Vampire Facial, combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma from your own blood. The growth factors in PRP further stimulate collagen production and accelerate healing, resulting in enhanced rejuvenation.

Microneedling for acne scars is a targeted approach to smooth out depressed scars and improve skin texture. The treatment stimulates new collagen growth that helps fill in and level the scarred areas.

Lutronic Infini RF Microneedling is an advanced treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The needles deliver thermal energy deep into the skin, providing more intense collagen stimulation and lifting for significant improvement in wrinkles and scars.

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment

Dr. Husain begins by applying a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. He then uses the microneedling device to create controlled micro-injuries on your skin. The treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.

After the procedure, your skin will appear red and may feel like a mild sunburn. This usually resolves within a few days. You will see initial improvements within a week, with continued results over several months as collagen production increases.

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling

Q: Does microneedling hurt?
The treatment is well-tolerated with the use of a topical numbing cream. Most patients describe the sensation as a mild prickling or vibration.

Q: How many microneedling treatments do I need?
A series of three to six treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, is often recommended for optimal results. Dr. Husain will create a personalized treatment plan for you.

Q: Is there downtime after microneedling?
You may experience redness and mild swelling for a few days. Most patients return to their normal activities within 24 to 48 hours.

Q: Can microneedling help with hyperpigmentation?
Yes. Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of sunspots, melasma, and other pigmentation concerns by promoting cell turnover and the dispersion of melanin.

Q: Can I combine microneedling with other treatments?
Yes. Microneedling is often combined with PRP for enhanced results, and can also be paired with chemical peels or injectables for a comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
