About This Treatment

How Microneedling Works

Controlled micro-injuries from ultra-fine needles trigger the body's wound healing cascade, producing new collagen and elastin fibers. The result is firmer, smoother, more evenly toned skin that continues improving for months after treatment.

At IRIS Aesthetics in Longmont, CO, we use the medical-grade Dermapen device — the gold standard in microneedling technology. Unlike consumer-grade rollers or lower-quality devices, the Dermapen creates precise, vertical micro-channels at adjustable depths, minimizing tissue damage while maximizing collagen induction. Every treatment is performed under physician oversight with strict sterile technique.

“Your Skin's Natural Reset Button”

Whether you're addressing acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, or simply want to restore a youthful glow, microneedling harnesses your body's own regenerative power to deliver visible, lasting improvement — without the extended downtime of more aggressive procedures.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

About microneedling in Longmont, CO

The Dermapen can be adjusted from 0.25mm to 2.5mm depending on the treatment area and concern. Shallower depths target fine lines and pores, while deeper settings address acne scars and stretch marks. Dr. Jensen customizes the needle depth for each zone of your face during treatment.
Most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. A topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before treatment to ensure comfort. The sensation is often compared to light sandpaper moving across the skin.
Classic microneedling uses hyaluronic acid serum during treatment, while PRP microneedling (Vampire Facial) combines the procedure with platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood. PRP contains concentrated growth factors that accelerate healing and enhance collagen production, making it especially effective for acne scars and aging skin.
Most patients achieve optimal results with 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Mild concerns like dull skin may improve in 2–3 sessions, while deeper acne scars may require 4–6 treatments. Maintenance sessions every 3–6 months help sustain results long-term.
Expect mild redness and slight swelling for 24–72 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days. Makeup can typically be applied after 24 hours. Avoid direct sun exposure and active skincare ingredients for 48–72 hours post-treatment.
Yes, microneedling pairs beautifully with many treatments at IRIS Aesthetics. It is commonly combined with Botox or Dysport (performed 2 weeks apart), chemical peels, and LED light therapy. It can also be performed as a follow-up to CO2 laser resurfacing to maintain and enhance results. Dr. Jensen will create a customized combination plan during your consultation.
Microneedling is generally safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. The Dermapen allows precise depth control, so treatments can be adjusted for delicate areas. However, it is not recommended for patients with active acne, eczema flares, rosacea outbreaks, or open wounds. A consultation with Dr. Jensen will determine if microneedling is right for your skin.
Initial improvements in skin glow and texture are often visible within 1–2 weeks. The most significant results develop over 2–6 months as deep collagen remodeling continues beneath the surface. Collagen production can increase by 200–300% following a series of treatments, with improvements continuing to build over time.
