About This Treatment

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a collagen induction therapy that uses a device equipped with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural wound-healing cascade and stimulating new collagen and elastin production. It is one of the most effective non-surgical options for improving acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, and uneven texture — without the pigmentation risks associated with heat- or light-based treatments. At RevivalMD, Dr. Haroon Arshad and Sanna Arshad, PA-C use professional-grade devices with adjustable needle depth to tailor each session to the patient’s specific skin concerns.

Why Choose This Treatment

The Benefits

Collagen Induction

Controlled micro-injuries trigger your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin naturally.

Scar Reduction

Highly effective for acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks across the face and body.

Improved Texture

Pores appear refined, skin feels smoother, and overall tone becomes more even and uniform.

Minimal Downtime

Redness typically resolves within 24–48 hours — most patients are presentable the next day.

PRP Pairing

Adding PRP to your session dramatically amplifies healing, glow, and collagen stimulation.

Safe for All Tones

No heat or light energy means this treatment is effective and safe for every skin tone.

The Process

How It Works

Numbing

A medical-grade topical anesthetic is applied and left on for 30 minutes to ensure a comfortable experience.

Treatment

The microneedling device is passed over the skin at calibrated depths to create precise micro-channels.

Serum Application

Hyaluronic acid or, optionally, your own PRP is applied immediately after to maximize absorption and healing.

Recovery

Expect redness for 24–48 hours. Avoid active skincare, makeup, and sun exposure for 24 hours post-treatment.

Recovery & Outcomes

What to Expect

Your skin will look flushed and feel warm immediately after treatment — think of it as a moderate sunburn that fades over one to three days. Minor flaking or dryness is common as the skin renews itself. Most patients are comfortable going about their day the morning after treatment with a gentle moisturizer and SPF.

Improvements develop gradually. You may notice a healthy glow within the first week, but the real transformation happens over the following weeks and months as new collagen matures. Results continue to build with each session.

Is This Right for You?

Ideal Candidates

Microneedling is well suited for patients who want to improve overall skin quality without aggressive downtime. It is a particularly strong option for those dealing with acne scarring, uneven texture, dull tone, or early signs of aging. Because it does not rely on light or heat, it is one of the safest resurfacing options for darker skin tones.

Patients with active acne breakouts, certain skin infections, or those who are pregnant should wait until those conditions are resolved before starting treatment. Schedule a consultation at our Rahway or Fair Lawn office and we will put together a plan that makes sense for your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients see meaningful improvement after three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. For deeper scarring or more advanced skin concerns, additional sessions may be recommended.

A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment, so most patients feel only mild pressure or a light prickling sensation during the procedure.

Expect one to three days of redness similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients feel comfortable returning to work and normal activities the next day with mineral sunscreen and gentle skincare.

Yes. Microneedling is one of the most effective non-surgical options for improving the appearance of acne scars, as the collagen remodeling process helps smooth and fill in depressed scars over time.

Microneedling is considered safe for all skin types and tones because it does not use heat or light energy, which means the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is very low.

Absolutely. Many patients pair microneedling with PRP or specialized serums to enhance results. We can also alternate microneedling with treatments like RF microneedling or Aquafirme facials as part of a comprehensive skin care plan.
