Medical Microneedling in Brooklyn: Benefits for Smoother, Healthier Skin

Under the guidance of PA-C Elena Terushkin, Skin Glow Dermatology in Brooklyn, NY offers state-of-the-art Medical Microneedling treatments for facial rejuvenation.


What is Medical Microneedling?

Medical Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. As a result, the skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking.


Benefits of Medical Microneedling

  • Improved Skin Texture: Microneedling helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, resulting in smoother and more even skin texture.
  • Enhanced Skin Tone: By stimulating collagen production, microneedling can improve skin tone and reduce the visibility of hyperpigmentation and age spots.
  • Minimally Invasive: Compared to traditional surgical procedures, microneedling is minimally invasive and requires little to no downtime, making it a popular choice for facial rejuvenation.


Benefits of Microneedling for Acne Scars

  1. Improved Skin Texture: By promoting collagen and elastin production, microneedling helps to smooth out the skin, reducing the appearance of acne scars and improving overall texture.
  2. Minimally Invasive: Unlike more aggressive treatments like laser therapy or chemical peels, microneedling is less invasive and has a shorter recovery time.
  3. Safe for All Skin Types: Microneedling can be safely performed on all skin types and tones without the risk of hyperpigmentation, making it a versatile option for a wide range of patients.
  4. Enhanced Product Absorption: The micro-channels created during microneedling allow for better absorption of topical treatments and serums, enhancing their effectiveness.

How Does Medical Microneedling Work?

During the microneedling procedure, a specialized device with fine needles is gently passed over the skin, creating tiny punctures or micro-channels. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, prompting the production of collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin over time.

What to Expect During microneedling Treatment

At Skin Glow Dermatology, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Before the procedure, a numbing cream may be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. The microneedling device is then carefully applied to the skin, targeting specific areas of concern. The treatment typically takes around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.


Insurance Coverage Challenges: Microneedling for acne scars

  1. Cosmetic vs. Medical Treatment: Insurance companies generally do not cover cosmetic treatments. Since microneedling for acne scars is usually considered a cosmetic procedure, it is often excluded from standard health insurance policies.
  2. Medical Necessity: In rare cases, if a dermatologist or healthcare provider can demonstrate that microneedling is medically necessary—perhaps due to severe psychological impact or functional impairment caused by the scars—there may be a chance for partial coverage. However, this is uncommon and usually requires extensive documentation and a strong case made by the healthcare provider.

Out-of-Pocket Costs: Be prepared for the likelihood of paying out-of-pocket for microneedling. Research the costs involved and consider consulting Skin Glow Dermatology to compare prices and options.
