Decrease Acne Scars and Reveal Smoother, Brighter, More Youthful Skin
Experience a dermatologist-led microneedling treatment performed by Dr. Thompson – a board-certified expert with a full spectrum dermatology practice. Her clinical precision and personalized care ensure results you can trust.
What Is Microneedling
A collagen induction therapy
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a series of ultra-fine medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin—key proteins responsible for firm, youthful skin.
Each treatment is tailored to your skin type, tone, and goals by Dr. Thompson at her Vancouver, Washington office.
Benefits of Microneedling
Reduces acne scars and surgical/scar tissue
Smooths fine lines and diminishes wrinkles
Improves uneven tone and skin texture
Minimizes enlarged pores and pigmentation
Enhances absorption of skincare products
Stimulates natural collagen production for long-term improvement
Is Microneedling Right for You?
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones. It’s ideal if you want to improve skin texture, reduce scarring or signs of aging – without undergoing laser treatments or surgery.
What to Expect
- Duration: 30–45 minutes per session
- Downtime: Mild redness for 24–48 hours (akin to a light sunburn)
- Results: Many clients see noticeable improvement after the first session.
Optimal results are achieved after 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Post-Treatment Skincare and Healing
Aftercare is key for optimal Microneedling results
Proper aftercare is essential to maximize your microneedling results. Following your treatment with Dr. Thompson, your skin will be more sensitive as it begins its natural healing and collagen regeneration process. To protect and nourish your skin:
- Avoid harsh exfoliants, retinol, and active acids for 3–5 days
- Keep skin hydrated with a gentle, dermatologist-approved moisturizer
- Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily to protect new collagen formation
- Avoid direct sun exposure, saunas, or vigorous exercise for 24–48 hours
- Use only gentle cleansers and soothing serums as recommended by Dr. Thompson
Dr. Thompson and her team will provide you with a personalized microneedling aftercare plan and product recommendations to help reduce redness, enhance healing, and lock in your results for radiant, healthy skin.
