Microneedling can help diminish the appearance of perceived skin blemishes and various signs of aging on both the face and body. Also referred to as collagen induction therapy, this innovative procedure is designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing process by aiding in the production of collagen and elastin within the skin. Using Microneedling techniques such as the SkinPen™ by Bellus Medical or EndyMed Intensif®, our experienced aesthetician can help reduce minor acne scarring, improve skin tone and texture, minimize enlarged pores, and facilitate medical grade skin care product absorption. Additionally, this procedure can be combined with other treatments, such as injectables and dermal fillers, to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a treatment designed to help the skin repair itself in specific areas that are exhibiting signs of common skin conditions. A small device, typically about the size of a pen, is guided over the treatment area to create tiny perforations in the skin. These “micro-channels” aid in the production of collagen and other natural properties that can ultimately help the skin renew itself from the inside out. There are a variety of Microneedling techniques that offer a range of benefits, including improvement in the skin’s tone and texture, reduction in signs of age, reduction in the appearance of mild scarring from acne or traumatic injury, and overall enhancement and rejuvenation of the skin.
Microneedling with SkinPen™ by Bellus Medical
At the Godek Center in New Jersey Microneedling with SkinPen™ by Bellus Medical can be performed on the face, neck, arms, hands, back, stomach, and legs. During the procedure, a topical Hyaluronic Acid (HA) will be applied to and absorbed by the skin as the SkinPen™ is gently guided over the targeted treatment area. Once absorbed, this HA solution will penetrate deep into the skin and help to promote collagen and elastin production. The Microneedling procedure typically takes approximately 30 minutes to complete, though this will often depend on the number of areas you wish to address. You should generally begin to notice subtle signs of improvement in the tone and texture of your skin a few days after treatment, and these results will often continue to improve in the following weeks as more collagen is produced. Ultimately, Microneedling with the SkinPen™ by Bellus Medical can help you achieve smoother, more radiant-looking skin.
Microneedling with EndyMed Intensif®
The EndyMed Intensif® RF technique takes Microneedling one step further by introducing a radiofrequency component to the procedure. This innovative treatment utilizes the same basic approach as traditional Microneedling, but adds radiofrequency energy deep within the skin to help stimulate collagen and elastin. EndyMed Intensif® can address a number of skin concerns, including signs of wrinkles, traumatic scarring, and acne, to produce healthier, smoother, and more vibrant-looking skin. This Microneedling technique is also known to create long-lasting results after just a single treatment. EndyMed Intensif® can be particularly beneficial for dermal renewal in the face and neck.
What aesthetic concerns does Microneedling address?
Microneedling is a versatile skin treatment that works wonders on various skin concerns by kickstarting your body's natural repair process. Tiny, controlled micro-injuries signal your skin to produce fresh collagen and elastin, creating healthier, more youthful skin from within.
This treatment is particularly effective for:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Smooth out those pesky signs of aging with a treatment designed to refresh and firm your skin, naturally reducing wrinkles over time.
- Acne Scars and General Scarring: Microneedling can soften the appearance of scars by breaking down old tissue and encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin.
- Hyperpigmentation and Uneven Skin Tone: Achieve a more radiant complexion as microneedling fades areas of discoloration like sunspots or melasma.
- Enlarged Pores: Minimize the appearance of large pores while improving overall skin texture and tone.
- Stretch Marks: From pregnancy to growth spurts, microneedling can improve the look and feel of stretched skin.
With its ability to target so many common concerns for our patients in New Jersey microneedling has become a popular treatment for restoring confidence.

Beyond smoother skin, microneedling offers benefits that extend to your overall confidence and skincare routine. It's an ideal choice for anyone seeking effective results without the downtime or commitment of surgery.
- Non-Surgical Convenience: A safe, minimally invasive treatment that allows you to return to your daily routine quickly.

By combining convenience, versatility, and real, noticeable results, microneedling has earned its place as a go-to for radiant, youthful skin.
Is Microneedling right for me?
Microneedling is ideal for individuals looking to enhance their skin without invasive procedures. If you're hoping to address issues like fine lines, acne scars, or uneven skin tone, this treatment could be your answer. However, it's not for everyone.
Those with active acne, eczema, or skin infections should wait until their skin has healed. Additionally, individuals with bleeding disorders, a history of keloids, or those on certain medications should consult with a professional to determine their eligibility. Pregnant individuals may also need to postpone treatment. A consultation at The Godek Center will help determine whether microneedling aligns with your skin goals and medical history.
What Microneedling Aftercare is Recommended?
While the specifics of recovery from Microneedling will depend on the extent of treatment and other factors related to the customized treatment plan, most individuals are able to return to their normal daily activities immediately following the procedure. Some degree of redness (akin to a mild sunburn), as well as dryness and peeling, are normal side effects of this treatment, and should dissipate after a few days. Patients are advised to keep the area protected from the sun and irritants for a few weeks after treatment. A member of our skin care team will provide you with recommendations on helpful cleansers, creams, and sunscreens that can be used on the treatment area after the procedure.
What Results Can I Expect from Microneedling?
After undergoing Microneedling New Jersey patients that visit us typically start noticing improvement in the skin within two to four weeks. The results should become more and more apparent over the next three months while new production of elastin and collagen continue to replenish the skin.
