Some patients experience light flaking or peeling a few days after treatment, especially with deeper sessions. This is part of the skin’s natural renewal process. It’s important not to pick or exfoliate the area let the skin shed naturally.
As we age, the skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, leading to fine lines, uneven texture, and a dull complexion. At Advanced Body and Laser Center (ABLC) in Tulare, we offer microneedling treatments that work with your body to repair, renew, and reveal smoother, brighter skin.
Microneedling is a gentle, effective solution for improving skin tone and texture without surgery. Whether you want to reduce acne scars, refresh aging skin, or restore a radiant glow, microneedling at ABLC Tulare can help you feel confident in your skin again.
Microneedling uses a series of fine needles to create small channels in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that keep the skin smooth and firm.
Microneedling Defined Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to promote skin renewal. It is suitable for all skin types and tones and can address a wide range of skin concerns, including scars, fine lines, and sun damage.
Because it does not remove the outer layer of skin, microneedling is a preferred option for those seeking gradual, natural improvements without significant recovery time.
During the procedure, a handheld device equipped with ultra-thin needles glides across the skin, creating thousands of controlled microchannels. As your body responds, it begins producing fresh collagen and elastin to rebuild the treated area.
Microneedling also enhances the absorption of skincare serums and active ingredients, improving their effectiveness. The result is skin that looks firmer, clearer, and more even over time.
Microneedling offers noticeable results for several common skin concerns:
At ABLC in Tulare, each microneedling treatment is tailored to your skin type, goals, and comfort. Our trained practitioners use advanced tools to ensure consistent, professional results.
Microneedling is commonly performed on the face, but it can also be used on the body to target more specific concerns:
Facial Areas: Smooths fine lines, acne scars, and rough texture
Neck and Chest: Improves sun damage and skin laxity
Hands: Helps restore skin thickness and fade spots
Body: Reduces the appearance of stretch marks on thighs, arms, and stomach
Microneedling is ideal for clients who want to restore skin health and reduce imperfections without invasive procedures. It is safe and effective for a variety of skin types.
You may be a good candidate for microneedling if you:
1.) Want to minimize signs of aging without surgery
2.) Are seeking a treatment that uses your body’s natural repair process
3.) Have visible scarring, discoloration, or enlarged pores
4.) Prefer a treatment with minimal recovery time
There are some cases when it may be best to delay or avoid microneedling. These include:
1.) Active acne or open wounds in the treatment area
2.) Pregnancy or breastfeeding
3.) Use of blood-thinning medications
4.) History of keloid or raised scarring
Our providers in Tulere will evaluate your skin and health history before beginning treatment to ensure microneedling is the right choice for you.
Your skin deserves personalized care, and our goal is to make each step of your experience easy and empowering. At ABLC Tulare, our four-step process ensures that you feel confident, comfortable, and informed from the moment you arrive.
Your appointment begins with a one-on-one consultation. During this conversation, your provider will listen carefully to your concerns, examine your skin, and walk through your medical history. From there, a tailored treatment plan will be developed with your input. This collaborative approach allows us to target the areas that matter most to you and align your session with your desired results.
Once your plan is in place, the session starts with a deep cleanse to remove surface oils, debris, or makeup. A topical numbing cream is then applied to help reduce any discomfort during the procedure. You will be able to sit back and relax as the numbing takes effect, and your provider will go over the final details to make sure you know what to expect during the treatment.
Using a microneedling device, your provider will create thousands of micro-injuries in the skin using fine, sterile needles. The device is carefully guided across the treatment areas using a smooth and even motion. Most appointments last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on your treatment plan. While some clients notice a slight tingling or light pressure, the experience is typically very tolerable, especially with numbing applied.
Right after the procedure, your skin may appear pink or slightly flushed similar to how it looks after a day in the sun. Mild tightness or warmth is also common but usually fades within a day or two. To support healing and comfort, your provider will recommend a simple aftercare routine:
1.) Apply a calming, hydrating serum as needed
2.) Avoid makeup and products containing retinol, acids, or alcohol for at least 48 hours
3.) Protect the skin with a daily SPF 30 or higher, even on cloudy days
We may also send you home with a specialized post-treatment serum or moisturizer to maximize your results. As your skin naturally produces new collagen over the following weeks, you can expect to see gradual but noticeable improvements in tone, texture, and firmness.

Some patients experience light flaking or peeling a few days after treatment, especially with deeper sessions. This is part of the skin’s natural renewal process. It’s important not to pick or exfoliate the area let the skin shed naturally.
Yes, but you must be extra cautious about sun exposure. Always wear sunscreen and avoid tanning or prolonged outdoor activities for a few days after treatment. Microneedling is safe year-round with proper care.
Absolutely. The neck and chest are common areas for microneedling, especially to improve laxity or sun damage. These areas are treated gently with slightly adjusted settings.
When Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is applied after microneedling, it penetrates deeply through the microchannels to promote healing and collagen growth. This speeds up recovery and enhances overall results. It’s often called a “vampire facial” when paired with microneedling.
You can usually resume your normal skincare routine within 3 to 5 days. However, active ingredients like retinol and acids should be reintroduced slowly. Always follow your provider’s post-care guidance.
Some people experience a brief “purge” as the skin detoxes, which may include breakouts or flaking. This is temporary and part of the renewal process. Within a few days, your skin typically looks and feels noticeably better.
Studies show that microneedling can significantly increase collagen production in treated areas. While exact amounts vary by individual, most patients notice firmer, plumper skin within a few weeks. This continued production helps maintain youthful skin over time.
Microneedling improves mild to moderate skin laxity by strengthening the underlying structure. It stimulates collagen and elastin, which tighten and lift the skin naturally. For more advanced sagging, combination treatments may be recommended.
Hyaluronic acid serums are ideal immediately after microneedling due to their soothing and hydrating effects. Peptides, growth factors, and antioxidant serums can also enhance results. Your provider will suggest the best options for your skin.
Yes, microneedling can be done alongside Botox and fillers, but the timing matters. It’s usually best to wait two weeks after injectables before having microneedling. Your provider will advise you on how to coordinate your treatments safely.
