Wouldn’t it be nice if you could just make your lines and wrinkles disappear? If you are bothered by the visible signs of aging and sun damage, cosmetic dermatology can help. Microneedling is a fast, gentle treatment that treats a wide range of skin issues for a glowing, rejuvenated appearance. At Mitchell Dermatology in Perrysburg, Ohio, Dr. Mitchell and her team have years of expertise in cosmetic treatments that can rejuvenate the skin and turn back the hands of time.
Microneedling is a unique treatment that harnesses the body’s powerful healing processes to correct your skin from the inside out. It is performed using a safe, handheld device that creates tiny “micro-holes” in the skin to stimulate your body’s natural healing response. This process increases blood flow and stimulates the growth of new, healthy skin cells, leaving your skin looking tighter, firmer, and younger-looking. Microneedling can be used to address:
Microneedling treatment is safe for a wide range of skin colors and types. It requires no incisions or injections and can be completed in a single appointment. You may experience redness and swelling in the treatment area following the session that will typically resolve within a few days. There is no prolonged downtime as you are free to resume daily activities immediately. It’s essential to use a high-quality daily sunscreen and avoid long sun exposure as your skin heals.
Results from microneedling will gradually develop in the weeks following your session as it takes time for the new, healthy cells to grow. The triggering of new cell stimulation makes the youthful results last for years.

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure involving fine needles to create tiny punctures on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production. As a result, microneedling can improve the texture, tone, and overall appearance of the skin while reducing the appearance of scars, wrinkles, and other imperfections.
Microneedling results typically last several months to a year, depending on individual skin characteristics, lifestyle factors, and the number of sessions undergone. However, for sustained benefits, periodic maintenance treatments may be recommended.
Microneedling is generally tolerable, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. However, the sensation can vary depending on individual pain thresholds and the depth of the treatment. Topical numbing creams are often applied before the procedure to minimize any discomfort.
