Stimulate Collagen for Firmer Skin
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create microchannels in the skin. This stimulates your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, helping to improve texture, firmness, and overall radiance. At Melamed Weight & Wellness, microneedling is performed by a physician for optimal precision and safety. It’s ideal for treating acne scars, fine lines, large pores, and sun damage. Microneedling offers a powerful yet gentle way to renew your skin from within.

- Acne scars and post-inflammatory marks

How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling creates precise micro-injuries in the skin using fine, medical-grade needles. These controlled punctures trigger your body’s natural wound-healing process, stimulating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. As your skin regenerates, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more evenly toned. This process, known as collagen induction therapy, helps reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and enlarged pores over time. At Melamed Weight & Wellness, microneedling is performed by a physician to ensure safety and precision.
Benefits of Microneedling:
- Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
- Improves skin texture and firmness over time
- Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
- Safe for most skin types and tones

- Enhances the absorption of topical serums post-treatment
- Performed by a physician for expert precision and care
Microneedling with Exosomes
We now offer microneedling with exosomes for enhanced skin regeneration and accelerated healing. Exosomes are naturally occurring, cell-to-cell messengers rich in growth factors and peptides. When paired with microneedling, they help boost collagen production, reduce inflammation, and speed up recovery, leading to noticeably smoother, brighter, and more rejuvenated skin.
Microneedling FAQs
Is Microneedling Safe for All Skin Types?
Yes, microneedling is safe and effective for most skin types and tones. Because it doesn’t involve heat or harsh chemicals, there’s minimal risk of hyperpigmentation, making it a good option even for those with darker or sensitive skin.
Does Microneedling Hurt?
Most patients report that microneedling feels like a light prickling or scratching sensation. To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before treatment.
How Long Do Microneedling Results Last?
The results can last several months, especially with proper skincare and maintenance treatments. Because microneedling stimulates your skin’s natural repair mechanisms, the improvements are gradual and long-lasting. Regular treatments, combined with medical-grade skincare recommended by Dr. Melamed, can help maintain and extend your results.
What Can I Expect After the Procedure?
After microneedling, your skin may appear slightly pink or red, similar to a mild sunburn, for 24 to 72 hours. You might also experience slight dryness or tightness for a few days. Most patients resume normal activities the next day, and makeup can usually be worn after 24 hours. The results continue to improve over several weeks as collagen production increases.
How Many Microneedling Sessions Will I Need?
The number of sessions depends on your specific skin goals. While some patients see visible improvements after one treatment, a series of three to six sessions spaced four weeks apart is typically recommended for optimal results. Dr. Melamed will create a personalized plan during your consultation, taking into account your skin’s condition, history, and desired outcome.
