At Fortier Gynecology, microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall skin health. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling stimulates the body’s natural healing response, encouraging collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer skin.
Microneedling is commonly used to address fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and dull skin. It can also help improve the appearance of sun damage and mild pigmentation concerns. Over time, the skin becomes more even, refreshed, and resilient as new collagen forms.
Our microneedling treatments are carefully customized based on skin type, concerns, and goals. Each treatment is performed in a professional medical setting with a focus on safety, comfort, and precision. The depth and technique are adjusted to deliver effective results while protecting skin integrity.
Microneedling can be performed as a standalone treatment or combined with other skin rejuvenation services to enhance results. Because it works with the body’s natural repair process, improvements develop gradually and continue over several weeks following treatment.
Fortier Gynecology proudly offers microneedling services to patients in Raleigh, North Carolina and surrounding areas including Cary, Wake Forest, Durham, Chapel Hill, Morrisville, Garner, Clayton, Holly Springs, Rolesville, and Knightdale. Patients value our thoughtful approach, medical oversight, and commitment to personalized care.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does microneedling work?
Microneedling creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin that trigger the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother texture, improved tone, and firmer skin over time.
How many microneedling treatments are needed?
Many patients see improvement after one treatment, but a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart is often recommended for optimal results. The number of treatments depends on skin concerns and desired outcomes.
What is recovery like after microneedling?
Most patients experience mild redness and sensitivity for one to three days following treatment. Downtime is minimal, and normal activities can usually be resumed quickly with proper post-treatment care.
