Dermal needling is a great option for patients who are considering alternatives to other treatment solutions such as lasers and photo facials. However, many patients ask their dermatologist, is dermal needling hurting or helping the skin?

The idea of dermal needling can be rather startling for some patients in and around the area of Germantown. Dermal needling is essentially using fine needles to puncture the skin at precise depth. This is done for a purpose: it stimulates the skin’s natural healing process during which collagen and elastin are produced. Collagen and elastin are important for supporting skin laxity and enhancing the skin’s overall texture and tone. Over the course of time, after dermal needling appointments, patients will see the gradual improvements in how their skin looks and feels.

Dermal needling is done with the microneedling device, which is has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration for reducing scarring and other cosmetic imperfections. It is used to treat the skin without the need for lasers and has a far less recovery time than the latter.
