Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a safe, minimally invasive treatment that helps improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. Using fine needles, microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, promoting new collagen and elastin production.
At Angela Azar, MD, we provide medical-grade microneedling in our Great Neck and Jackson Heights offices. Whether you want to reduce acne scars, smooth wrinkles, or refresh your skin, Dr. Azar offers customized microneedling treatments for natural, noticeable results.
Microneedling is effective for improving:
Fine lines & wrinkles
Acne scars
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone or texture
Stretch marks
Early signs of aging
Stimulates natural collagen and elastin
Improves skin firmness and smoothness
Minimal downtime compared to laser treatments
Safe for most skin types
Can be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) for enhanced results
The skin is cleansed and numbed for comfort
A microneedling device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin
Treatment time: about 30–45 minutes
Mild redness may occur for 1–3 days, similar to a sunburn
Results appear gradually as collagen builds — best seen after a series of treatments
In addition to traditional microneedling, Dr. Azar also offers eMatrix RF microneedling, which uses radiofrequency energy for even greater skin tightening and resurfacing.
During your consultation, Dr. Azar will recommend the option that’s best suited to your skin concerns.
