Over time, factors like aging, sun exposure, and environmental stressors can cause fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin texture, and scarring. If you’re looking for a way to restore your skin’s natural radiance and firmness, microneedling offers a non-invasive, highly effective solution.
At Advanced Body and Laser Center (ABLC) in Visalia, we provide expert microneedling treatments designed to stimulate collagen production, refine skin texture, and improve overall skin health. Whether you want to reduce acne scars, smooth wrinkles, or achieve a brighter complexion, microneedling can help.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing process, triggering collagen and elastin production for firmer, smoother, and healthier skin.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a treatment that enhances skin regeneration and rejuvenation. It works by stimulating collagen and elastin production, which are essential proteins for skin strength, elasticity, and hydration.
This treatment is ideal for all skin types and can address a variety of concerns, including fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and stretch marks. Because microneedling does not remove layers of skin, it is a gentle, effective option for skin renewal with minimal downtime.
Microneedling works by using a medical-grade device with fine needles to create microchannels in the skin. This process has several key benefits:
The controlled injuries trigger the body’s natural repair process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. This results in smoother, firmer skin.
The skin’s natural turnover process is accelerated, improving uneven skin tone, pigmentation, and acne scars.
The microchannels allow medical-grade serums, peptides, and growth factors to penetrate deeper into the skin, enhancing their effectiveness.
Over time, microneedling fortifies the skin’s structure, making it more resilient, hydrated, and youthful.
Most patients begin noticing visible improvements within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over the following months as collagen production increases.
Microneedling is a versatile skin treatment that helps improve a range of skin concerns, including:
Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Reduces the appearance of expression lines and enhances skin elasticity.
Acne Scars & Other Scars: Softens and fades textured acne scars, surgical scars, and injury-related scars.
Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage: Helps brighten dark spots and uneven skin tone caused by sun exposure.
Stretch Marks: Improves skin texture and reduces the appearance of stretch marks on the body.
Large Pores & Uneven Skin Texture: Minimizes pore size and refines skin texture for a smoother complexion.
At ABLC in Visalia, we customize each microneedling session to match your skin type and concerns. Our trained professionals use advanced microneedling technology to ensure precision, safety, and optimal results.
Microneedling can be performed on multiple areas of the face and body, including:
Face: Targets wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture.
Neck & Décolletage: Improves skin laxity and sun damage for a firmer, smoother look.
Hands: Reduces age spots and skin thinning, restoring a more youthful appearance.
Stretch Marks (Body): Fades and softens stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and arms.
Microneedling is an excellent option for individuals looking to improve skin tone, texture, and elasticity without undergoing invasive procedures.
Microneedling is ideal for:
1.) Individuals wanting smoother, firmer skin with minimal downtime
2.) People looking to reduce acne scars, wrinkles, or sun damage
3.) Those with dull, uneven skin tone who want a more radiant complexion
4.) Patients seeking a non-surgical option for improving skin health

A consultation at ABLC will determine if microneedling is the right choice for your skin.
Every treatment at ABLC begins with a comprehensive consultation with one of your practitioners. They will discuss your aesthetic concerns and assess your skin health and medical history – this helps us to decide which treatment is the best option for you. You will work together to create a treatment plan that works best for you and your beauty goals.
Before the procedure, your skin is cleansed, and a numbing cream is applied for comfort. The microneedling device is then gently moved across the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries.
The treatment takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area being treated. Most patients experience only mild tingling or vibration during the session.
After microneedling, the skin may appear slightly red and sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients resume normal activities within 24-48 hours.
You will be advised to:
1.) Keep skin hydrated with a gentle moisturizer
2.) Avoid sun exposure and use SPF 30+ sunscreen daily
3.) Skip makeup and harsh skincare for at least 24-48 hours
As collagen production increases, you will see ongoing skin improvements for several months.
At ABLC, we specialize in advanced skin rejuvenation treatments that deliver real results. Our team of highly trained professionals uses FDA-approved microneedling technology to ensure safe, effective, and customized treatments.

Most patients begin noticing subtle improvements within a week, such as smoother and more radiant skin. The full benefits appear gradually over 4-6 weeks as the skin continues to heal and regenerate. Continued improvements can be seen for several months after treatment.
Most patients need a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart. The number of sessions depends on the specific skin concern being treated. Acne scars and deep wrinkles may require more sessions, while mild texture concerns may improve with fewer treatments.
Microneedling is well-tolerated by most patients. A topical numbing cream is usually applied before the procedure to help with any discomfort. While some patients may feel a mild tingling or vibrating sensation, the treatment is generally not painful.
Yes, microneedling is one of the most effective non-invasive treatments for acne scars. The process helps break down scar tissue while stimulating collagen growth, which smooths the skin’s surface over time.
Microneedling has minimal downtime. Patients typically experience mild redness and slight sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn, for 24-48 hours. Some minor flaking or dryness may occur as the skin heals.
Yes, microneedling can be combined with other treatments to enhance results. Many patients pair microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy for accelerated healing and collagen production. It also works well with chemical peels, LED light therapy, and hydrating serums to maximize skin rejuvenation. Your provider at ABLC can recommend the best combination for your skin concerns.
After microneedling, it’s important to avoid direct sun exposure, harsh skincare products, and intense exercise for at least 48 hours. You should also skip retinoids, exfoliants, and makeup for the first 24-48 hours to allow the skin to heal properly.
Microneedling and laser treatments both stimulate collagen production, but they work in different ways. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to trigger the skin’s natural healing, while laser treatments use heat to resurface the skin. Microneedling is gentler, safe for all skin types, and requires less downtime, making it a great option for sensitive or darker skin tones.
Microneedling results can last several months to a year, depending on your skin type, age, and skincare routine. Since collagen production continues for months after treatment, the effects are long-lasting. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help prolong results and keep the skin firm and youthful.
Absolutely! Microneedling is an effective treatment for both men and women.
