What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling stimulates your skin’s natural healing process to restore a smoother, firmer appearance without surgery or fillers. At Hove Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, we use the Secret PRO system, which combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy to amplify results. The system can also incorporate CO₂ resurfacing when deeper correction is needed.

This treatment can improve:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and surgical scarring
  • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
  • Stretch marks and uneven texture
  • Enlarged pores

Microneedling is safe for most skin types and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and other areas of the body.

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment

Personalized Skin Evaluation

Your visit to our office on the Main Line begins with a one-on-one consultation. A member of our aesthetic team will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and create a treatment plan using the Secret PRO system. If deeper correction is needed, we may recommend including CO₂ resurfacing as part of your session.

Comfort-First Preparation

To ensure a comfortable experience, we apply a topical numbing cream before the procedure. Most patients report only mild pressure or warmth during treatment.

Precise, Layered Treatment

The handheld device is gently moved across the treatment area, creating micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production. Radiofrequency energy reaches deeper layers of skin to promote firming and tightening. If CO₂ resurfacing is included, it follows immediately afterward to refine the surface layer.

Quick and Convenient Sessions

Microneedling appointments typically take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. Most patients can resume normal activities shortly afterward.

Microneedling Aftercare and Recovery

There is no formal downtime after microneedling, but your skin will need time to recover. Temporary redness, swelling, or tightness is common and typically resolves within a few days.

To support healing and protect your results, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions. These usually include:

  • Avoid wearing makeup for the first 24 hours

  • Apply sunscreen and avoid direct sun exposure

  • Use a gentle cleanser and moisturizer

  • Skip hot showers, workouts, and heat-based treatments for 48 hours

As your skin heals, collagen and elastin levels increase, revealing firmer, more radiant skin. Most patients at our Main Line office notice improvements within a few weeks. For optimal results, we typically recommend three treatments spaced one month apart, followed by occasional touch-ups to maintain your glow.

Microneedling FAQs

How many microneedling sessions will I need?

Most patients at our Main Line office see the best results after a series of three sessions spaced about one month apart.

Does microneedling require downtime?

There’s little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity for a few days after treatment.

Can microneedling be used on areas other than the face?

Yes. In addition to the face, we treat the neck, décolletage, and other areas like the legs or abdomen for concerns such as stretch marks.

Is microneedling combined with other treatments?

Yes. Our Secret PRO system includes both radiofrequency microneedling and optional CO₂ laser resurfacing for enhanced results when appropriate.

Will I need touch-ups after completing a series?

Yes. Once your skin reaches its desired state, occasional maintenance treatments can help you preserve your results.
