Panama City, FL, and Chipley, FL, are home to Dermatology Associates Skin and Cancer Center, where four experienced, skilled, and licensed doctors see and treat patients' skin issues daily. Our offices provide many services, including microneedling, and we are here today to discuss this skin procedure.
Explaining This Procedure
Our two offices provide medical and cosmetic dermatology services, and this is a minimally invasive procedure. This procedure answers skin issues with acne, scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks. This procedure's essence is that it stimulates your body's healing responses and firms and smooths the skin.
Procedure Details
Our doctor does this procedure through the use of very fine needles and makes tiny microscopic holes in the first layer of your skin. Because your skin sees this as an injury, the pricks trigger healing by producing more collagen and elastin, the two most vital proteins that smooth and firm your skin.
Dermatology Associates Skin and Cancer Center, in Panama City, FL, and Chipley, FL, says microneedling is helpful for your facial skin and areas like your neck, back, and legs. Don't get this treatment confused with microdermabrasion.
Some dermatology treatments answer the need for medical and cosmetic skin issues, and this process is one of them. If your skin suffers from the following, this procedure may help you.
- Creepy skin
- Wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Mild scarring, burns
- Acne
- Skin discoloration
- Uneven skin tone

What Can I Expect During This Procedure?
Our doctor applies a numbing cream like lidocaine gel to the treatment areas. We have to give this numbing cream time to work, usually up to 45 minutes. The most you should feel is warmth or scratching.
We use a tool much like a hand-help roller or electric tool with tiny needles ranging from 0.5 to 2 millimeters in length across the treatment site to make puncture wounds in your skin. Depending on the size of the treatment area, this procedure could take as little as 15 minutes or up to a few hours.
Since this procedure is outpatient, you can go home after the treatment. Our doctor will follow up with discharge instructions and what you can expect after your procedure.
