Medical Microneedling for Wrinkles and Scars
Adults 18+
Invest in Healthier, Younger-Looking Skin.
At Rochester HealthSpan Medicine, we believe supporting healthy skin aging and tissue repair starts with working alongside your body's natural healing processes.
Medical microneedling is a natural, minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your skin's own collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin, without harsh chemicals or synthetic fillers. Whether you want to soften fine lines and wrinkles, improve acne scars, or refresh uneven skin texture and tone, our physician-supervised care provides a safe, tailored approach.
What Is Medical Microneedling?
Medical microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive aesthetic and regenerative skin procedure that uses ultra-fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the upper layers of the skin.
Unlike surface-level creams or harsh chemical peels, medical microneedling activates your skin's natural wound-healing response beneath the surface.
As the skin repairs these microscopic channels, it produces fresh collagen and elastin, the structural proteins responsible for skin firmness, elasticity, and smooth texture.
The procedure uses no chemicals or fillers, is customized to your specific skin goals, and typically involves minimal downtime.
What Can Medical Microneedling Treat?
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Softens the appearance of early aging signs across the face and neck by rebuilding underlying collagen support.
Acne Scars and Localized Scarring
Helps break down uneven scar tissue and encourages smoother, more uniform skin remodeling over a series of treatments.
Uneven Skin Texture and Tone
Refines rough patches, enlarged pores, and dullness to restore a clearer, more balanced complexion.
Loss of Skin Firmness and Radiance
Supports natural elastin production to leave skin looking firmer, brighter, and more refreshed.

“Healthy aging is not just about how you feel on the inside, it is also about feeling confident in your skin. Rather than masking changes with artificial fillers or aggressive chemicals, medical microneedling harnesses your body’s own regenerative capacity to build natural collagen and elastin. With proper medical evaluation and a structured treatment plan, it offers a safe, gradual way to restore smoother texture, soften scars, and support vibrant, healthy skin.”

Skin Aging, Scarring, and Collagen: Why Natural Regeneration Matters
Your Skin Changes. Supporting Collagen Matters Too.
Starting in early adulthood, natural collagen and elastin production gradually declines each year. Combined with sun exposure, hormonal shifts during midlife and menopause, and past acne or skin injuries, this loss can lead to fine lines, laxity, uneven texture, and persistent scarring.
Topical skincare alone often cannot penetrate deeply enough to stimulate meaningful structural remodeling.
At Rochester HealthSpan Medicine, we approach skin health through the lens of whole person care and evidence-based medical care. Before beginning treatment, we evaluate your skin health, medical history, and aesthetic goals to confirm that medical microneedling is safe and appropriate for you.
Because collagen remodeling occurs naturally over time, best results are achieved through a consistent series of monthly treatments paired with proper sun protection and skin care.

Medical Microneedling vs. Topical Skincare and Fillers
| Feature | Medical Microneedling | Topical Skincare Products | Dermal Fillers / Chemical Peels |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mechanism | Stimulates natural collagen and elastin via micro-channels | Hydrates and protects the outer skin barrier | Adds synthetic volume or exfoliates surface layers |
| Chemicals or Fillers | None | Active topical ingredients | Uses injectable gels or chemical solutions |
| Target Concerns | Wrinkles, acne scars, localized scars, texture, tone | Daily maintenance and mild dryness | Volume loss or superficial pigmentation |
| Results Timeline | Develops gradually over several weeks | Requires ongoing daily use | Immediate volume or post-peel renewal |
| Downtime | Minimal (typically 1–3 days of mild redness) | None | Varies from minimal to several days of peeling |
Important: Medical microneedling stimulates gradual biological collagen remodeling. Multiple monthly sessions are typically recommended for optimal improvement in wrinkles and scar texture.
What to Expect During Your Medical Microneedling Journey
Step 1: Initial Consultation ($99)
Step 2: Customized Microneedling Treatment
Step 3: Recovery & Monthly Progress Sessions
Your skin is cleansed and prepared for comfort. Using a medical-grade microneedling device, controlled micro-channels are created across the targeted treatment area, whether full face, face and neck, or localized scars.
Understanding Considerations and Limitations of Medical Microneedling
Like all medical aesthetic procedures, medical microneedling has specific safety guidelines, temporary side effects, and realistic expectations.
Because the treatment relies on your body's natural collagen synthesis, visible improvements develop gradually over several weeks rather than overnight.
Best results are achieved with a series of treatments spaced appropriately to allow healthy tissue remodeling between visits.
Important considerations include:
Temporary redness, mild swelling, or skin sensitivity typically occurs for 1 to 3 days following treatment.
Results develop gradually over several weeks as new collagen and elastin form.
Best results generally require a series of monthly treatments rather than a single isolated session.
Medical microneedling is not recommended during pregnancy.
Treatment is not recommended for individuals with active skin infections, open wounds, active acne breakouts in the treatment area, or certain chronic skin conditions.
Proper sun protection and gentle post-procedure skincare are essential while your skin heals.
All package sessions must be used within one year of purchase.
Our goal is to ensure your skin is evaluated carefully so every treatment is performed safely and aligned with your personal goals.
