Collagen is one of the proteins that keeps your skin smooth, firm, and resilient. As you get older, your body gradually produces less of it, which can lead to fine lines, uneven texture, and skin that feels thinner or less elastic. By the time we reach the age 45, we have already lost about 25% of the collagen in our skin. This natural slowdown especially affects areas like the cheeks, jawline, and under the eyes.
Microneedling stimulates collagen production and encourages your body to repair targeted areas. This treatment can help improve tone and texture on the face, neck, and other regions where the skin shows signs of aging. At Robey Plastic Surgery & Regenerative Medicine, we use microneedling to support your skin’s natural renewal process. We serve patients in Carmel, IN, and the surrounding areas.
Microneedling uses fine, sterile needles to create precise microchannels in the skin. These tiny injuries activate your body’s healing response, which includes producing more collagen and elastin. The process targets skin texture, laxity, and surface irregularities without removing any layers. It is often used on the face, neck, or décolletage to address visible signs of aging or sun damage.
There are two main types of microneedling: traditional and radiofrequency. At our Carmel location, we offer both approaches using devices that allow us to target different skin concerns.
This is a traditional microneedling device that uses a set of 36 fine needles. It is effective for improving texture, reducing the appearance of acne scars, and stimulating collagen in areas like the cheeks, forehead, and around the mouth.
This is a radiofrequency microneedling device that delivers heat energy below the skin’s surface while also creating microchannels. It can help with deeper remodeling of tissue, including mild skin tightening along the jawline, under the chin, and around the eyes.
You may be a good candidate for microneedling if you want to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, or smooth out old scars. We also use microneedling for acne scars, sun damage, and more.
Microneedling can help improve the appearance of:
We start with a consultation to look closely at your skin and talk about what you want to improve. If you have a history of scarring, pigmentation changes, or active breakouts, we may adjust your treatment plan. Before your appointment, we may recommend stopping certain skin care products and avoiding sun exposure to reduce the risk of irritation.
We begin by cleaning your skin and applying a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Once the area is numb, we use either the Collagen P.I.N. device or Morpheus8. Most treatments take around 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the size of the area.
Right after your treatment, you may notice redness, warmth, or some swelling. These effects usually fade within a couple of days. Avoid sun, heat, and makeup for at least 24 hours, and use gentle products while your skin recovers. We will guide you on what to use and when to resume your normal routine.
You may see some early improvement in texture within the first week, but deeper changes take time as collagen rebuilds. A series of treatments usually gives the most noticeable outcome. We will help you decide how often to come in based on your goals and how your skin responds.
