At Buford Care Medical Clinic, we offer advanced microneedling treatments using the SkinPen®, the only FDA-cleared microneedling device in the United States. SkinPen® delivers exceptional precision, safety, and consistent results for smoother, healthier, and more radiant skin.

Microneedling works by creating controlled microchannels in the skin using fine, medical-grade needles. These tiny micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production. Over time, the skin becomes firmer, clearer, and more youthful.

SkinPen® microneedling is ideal for improving:

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enlarged pores
  • Stretch marks
  • Uneven tone and texture
  • Sun damage
  • Dull, tired-looking skin

For enhanced results, microneedling can be paired with PRP or PRF, allowing your skin to absorb powerful growth factors for deeper rejuvenation and faster healing.

Most patients experience minimal downtime, and results continue to improve over several weeks as new collagen forms.

At Buford Care, all microneedling treatments are performed by trained medical professionals using sterile techniques and medical-grade equipment to ensure your safety, comfort, and naturally beautiful results.

How Your Treatment Will Go

We keep every step simple and comfortable so you know what to expect from consultation to results.

  1. 01

    Consultation & Skin Prep

    Your provider assesses your skin concerns — texture, scars, or fine lines — and cleanses the area thoroughly.

  2. 02

    Numbing

    A topical numbing cream is applied and given time to take effect so the treatment stays comfortable.

  3. 03

    Microneedling

    A device with fine needles creates controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering a natural collagen-building response. PRP or serums can be added for extra benefit.

  4. 04

    Soothe & Aftercare

    We apply a calming serum and sunscreen, then review aftercare to protect your skin while it heals.

How to Prepare

A little preparation helps your appointment go smoothly. Please review the checklist below before your visit.

  • Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and harsh actives for about a week before your appointment.
  • Avoid sun exposure, and do not come in with a sunburn or an active breakout in the treatment area.
  • Skip blood thinners, fish oil, and vitamin E for several days, and avoid alcohol for 24 hours.
  • Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin and tell us if you are prone to cold sores or have any active skin infection.

Recovery Timeline

Here is what to expect as you heal and your results settle in.

  1. 01

    Day of treatment

    Your skin will look flushed and feel warm and tight, much like a mild to moderate sunburn.

  2. 02

    First 24 to 48 hours

    Avoid makeup, sweating, and active skincare. Use only a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.

  3. 03

    Days 2 to 4

    Redness fades and the skin may feel dry or flake lightly as it renews. Keep it hydrated and protected from the sun.

  4. 04

    Weeks 1 to 4

    New collagen forms, gradually improving tone, texture, pores, and the look of scars or fine lines.

  5. 05

    Ongoing

    A series of three to six sessions spaced about a month apart gives the best results, with maintenance a few times a year.

My acne scars have faded so much after a few sessions. My skin is smoother than it has been in years.

Questions about appointments

Have questions about scheduling or what to expect? Here are answers to common inquiries to help you feel fully prepared.

1. What is SkinPen microneedling and what does it treat?

SkinPen microneedling is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. It helps improve texture, fine lines, acne scars, and overall skin tone.

2. How long is the downtime?

Most patients experience mild redness similar to a sunburn for 24 to 48 hours. Normal activities can usually be resumed the next day.

3. When will I see results?

Initial improvement may be seen within 1 to 2 weeks, with continued results over several weeks as collagen production increases. A series of treatments is often recommended for best results.

4. Does microneedling hurt?

A topical numbing cream is applied and given time to work first, so most patients feel only light pressure or a mild scratching sensation.

5. How many sessions will I need?

Most patients see the best results from three to six sessions spaced about a month apart, followed by maintenance a few times a year.

6. Can microneedling be combined with PRP or PRF?

Yes. Adding PRP or PRF delivers your own growth factors into the skin to support healing and deeper rejuvenation. Ask about upgrade options at your consultation.

7. When can I wear makeup again?

Wait at least 24 hours. For the first 24 to 48 hours, use only a gentle cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen.

8. Is microneedling suitable for darker skin tones?

Microneedling doesn’t rely on heat or light, so it is generally suitable for a wide range of skin tones. Your provider will assess your skin and history at your consultation.

9. What should I avoid before treatment?

For about a week, avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids and harsh actives, and don’t come in with a sunburn or an active breakout in the treatment area.
