MicroNeedling

At the Northern Center for Plastic Surgery, we offer advanced microneedling treatments tailored to your unique skin concerns. Our board-certified surgeons and highly trained physician extenders customize needle depth, radiofrequency settings, and treatment protocols based on your skin type and goals—whether addressing acne scars, fine lines, texture irregularities, or overall skin rejuvenation. Our state-of-the-art facility ensures safe, precise application of this collagen-induction therapy. Individual results vary; we'll discuss realistic expectations during your consultation. Our microneedling treatment in NJ creates thousands of microscopic channels that can be used to allow delivery of topical medications such as hydroquinone gel or retinol to the deep layers of the dermis to treat skin pigmentation problems like melasma. Automated Microneedling is excellent for our patients, in NJ and worldwide, with melasma because it causes remodeling and delivery of medication without heating or causing inflammation, which are both known to cause melasma to flare. 

Patient Experience

Microneedling at our Bergen County facility requires minimal downtime compared to more invasive procedures. Most patients experience mild redness and slight swelling for 24–48 hours. You can typically resume normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding intense exercise and direct sun exposure for 48 hours. Results develop gradually as collagen remodeling occurs over weeks and months. Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Our team will provide detailed post-care instructions to optimize your healing and outcomes.
