Microneedling

Seattle Plastic Surgery Center offers medical-grade microneedling to improve skin texture, minimize pores, reduce fine lines, and address acne scarring. Performed by trained clinical staff, the treatment creates controlled micro-channels in the dermis to stimulate natural collagen and elastin production. Suitable for most skin types, microneedling can be combined with growth factors or platelet-rich plasma to enhance results. Most patients undergo a series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart.

Microneedling at Seattle Plastic Surgery Center is a skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a precision device with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the upper dermis. This triggers the skin's natural wound-healing cascade — increasing collagen and elastin production — leading to progressive improvement in skin texture, tone, and firmness over a series of treatments. Common concerns addressed include fine lines and surface wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, mild to moderate acne scarring including boxcar and rolling scars, stretch marks, and general skin dullness associated with sun exposure or natural aging. Medical-grade microneedling devices used in a clinical setting penetrate deeper than consumer-grade devices, producing more consistent and pronounced results while maintaining a favorable safety profile across diverse skin tones. Treatments at the clinic's Capitol Hill Seattle location are performed by trained providers working within the full spectrum of the clinic's surgical and non-surgical cosmetic services, allowing microneedling to be thoughtfully positioned alongside other treatment options. Serum application immediately post-microneedling — including growth factors, hyaluronic acid, or platelet-rich plasma — can enhance the treatment's regenerative effect by taking advantage of the transient micro-channels created in the skin barrier. Most patients undergo a series of three to six treatments spaced four to six weeks apart for optimal results, with maintenance sessions every six to twelve months. Downtime is minimal — typically twenty-four to forty-eight hours of mild redness — making microneedling a practical option for busy professionals and patients from across the Seattle metropolitan area including Bellevue, Tacoma, and Kirkland.
