Introduction
Looking to restore smoother, firmer, more youthful-looking skin without lasers or downtime? Microneedling with the SkinStylus device may be exactly what you need. This minimally invasive treatment utilizes fine, medical-grade needles to stimulate your skin’s natural healing response, enhancing collagen and elastin production from within. It’s an ideal option for improving the appearance of acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, large pores, and even stretch marks. At Elevation Medical Aesthetics in Queensbury, we utilize the FDA-cleared SkinStylus system for safe and controlled treatments that deliver powerful results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, creates tiny wounds in the skin to encourage healing. As we age, our skin loses collagen and elastin, resulting in deep lines, a rough texture, enlarged pores, and dullness. This treatment boosts the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, improving the appearance of aging, acne scars, sun damage, and overall skin health. Multiple sessions may be necessary for optimal results. An initial consultation with one of our Providers is necessary, and it can be booked online. Please give us a call at (518) 409-4696 to book if you would like to pair your initial consultation with same-day treatment. We typically recommend 3-6 treatment sessions for most patients.
Microneedling offers a wide range of benefits for skin that has lost its youthful bounce, clarity, or texture, as it stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. This helps to soften fine lines and wrinkles, smooth out acne scars, and improve overall tone and texture. Many patients also notice a reduction in pore size, fading of hyperpigmentation, and a more radiant, even complexion. Best of all, microneedling is safe for most skin tones and types, and because it works by enhancing your skin’s natural repair process, the results continue to improve over time. It’s a versatile treatment that works beautifully on its own or as part of a larger skincare plan.
Microneedling is an excellent option for individuals seeking to address early signs of aging, acne scarring, uneven skin tone, or general dullness. It’s safe for most skin types and tones and can be customized to address mild to moderate skin concerns across the face, neck, and even body. If you’ve tried other treatments but still struggle with rough texture, fine lines, or lingering scars, microneedling might be the solution you’ve been missing. During your consultation in Queensbury, we’ll evaluate your skin and discuss your goals to ensure it’s the right fit for you. If not, we’ll help you explore alternative treatments that better match your needs.
Before scheduling your microneedling treatment, we’ll begin with a consultation to assess your skin and goals. This helps us determine if microneedling with the SkinStylus system is the right fit for you, and if so, how we can tailor it to get the best possible results. We’ll review your skincare routine, medical history, and any previous treatments you’ve had, then walk you through what to expect from your session and recovery. If you’re a good candidate, we may recommend a series of treatments for the best improvement, especially if you’re targeting acne scarring or deeper texture concerns. You won’t be able to book microneedling online, but we’ll take care of everything for you in person, ensuring your treatment plan is clear, customized, and ready to proceed.
When you arrive for your microneedling session in Queensbury, we’ll start by cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable during the treatment. Once your skin is prepped and numb, your provider will use the SkinStylus device to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries across the skin. These tiny punctures may sound intimidating, but they’re extremely precise and designed to trigger your body’s natural repair process without damaging the surrounding tissue. Most sessions take around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, your skin may appear pink or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. We will immediately apply calming serums to support the healing process. Patients can expect to receive clear post-procedure care instructions to maximize the benefits of excellent aftercare at home.
Recovery from microneedling is relatively quick and easy. Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear red or slightly swollen for 24–48 hours, and you may also experience dryness, flaking, or a tight feeling over the next few days as your skin begins to renew itself. Most people resume normal activities the next day, though we recommend avoiding makeup, intense exercise, and direct sun exposure for the first 48 hours. Keeping your skin moisturized and using only gentle, approved skincare products is key to a smooth recovery. As your skin heals, you’ll begin to notice subtle improvements, and over the following weeks, the full benefits will become more visible as collagen production kicks in.
The cost of Microneedling in Queensbury varies depending on the treatment area and the number of sessions recommended for your skin goals. Because this service is highly customized, pricing will be discussed during your consultation. Generally, microneedling sessions typically cost between $300 and $450 per treatment. We offer generous package deals when a series of treatments is prepaid. Some patients benefit from a single session, while others achieve their best results from a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. We’ll provide you with a personalized plan and transparent pricing, so you know exactly what to expect with no surprises.
