Microneedling in Metairie, LA
Stimulate your skin's natural collagen for smoother, more radiant skin.
Microneedling creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin that trigger your body's natural collagen and elastin response. Over a series of treatments, this rebuilds skin from the inside out — improving texture, scarring, pore size, and early signs of aging without aggressive resurfacing or extended downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does microneedling hurt?
With proper numbing, most patients feel only mild pressure or vibration. Treatment is well-tolerated.
How is this different from at-home derma rollers?
Professional microneedling uses sterile, medical-grade depths far beyond what's safe at home — and delivers significantly better collagen response.
Can I combine microneedling with PRP?
Yes — adding PRP (often called a 'vampire facial') enhances healing and results. Ask Dr. Jones if it's right for you.
