What is Microneedling?
Reveal Smoother, Firmer, Younger-Looking Skin in Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill, and Clayton, NC
Microneedling is an effective, FDA-cleared treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, and stimulate your body’s natural collagen production. At BodyLase, we use advanced SkinPen® technology to create thousands of tiny, controlled injuries to the top layer of your skin. This process triggers the skin’s healing response, boosting elasticity, evening skin tone, and minimizing common skin concerns like fine lines, enlarged pores, and acne scars.
Whether you’re looking to refresh your complexion or target specific concerns, microneedling treatment is a versatile solution suitable for the face, neck, chest, back, arms, and even stretch-mark-prone areas like the thighs and abdomen.
With microneedling in Raleigh, Cary, Chapel Hill, and Clayton, our expert providers tailor each session to your unique skin type and goals, helping you look and feel your best.

How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling uses a device fitted with fine, sterile needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger a natural healing response that:
- Boosts collagen and elastin production
- Stimulates new skin cell growth
- Encourages blood circulation to treated areas
As your skin heals, it becomes firmer, plumper, and more even. Over the course of several treatments, you’ll notice continued improvement in skin tone, texture, and overall radiance.
The collagen-boosting effects of microneedling can be enhanced with other treatments, such as RF microneedling, which targets deeper skin layers, or the addition of PRP where your body’s own growth factors (found in platelets) help stimulate regeneration in the treated area.
Microneedling Benefits:
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Refines pores and texture
- Firms and lifts skin
- Diminishes acne scats and pitting
- Minimizes stretch marks

Microneedling Offers Solutions for Common Problems
Achieve results without surgery, fillers, or downtime. Microneedling is an ideal option for clients looking for natural, noticeable improvements. It rejuvenates your skin from within, effectively addressing a variety of skin concerns, including:
Microneedling for Enlarged Pores
Microneedling helps refine and tighten the skin, making large pores less noticeable by stimulating collagen around the pore walls.
Microneedling for Fine Lines & Wrinkles
By promoting collagen production, microneedling helps smooth fine lines and soften the appearance of crow’s feet, smile lines, and forehead wrinkles.
Microneedling for Loose Skin
As you age, your skin loses its firmness due to declining collagen levels. Microneedling promotes collagen production and restores skin elasticity for a firmer, more youthful appearance.
Microneedling for Scarring
Whether from acne or minor trauma, microneedling softens scar tissue by breaking it up and encouraging fresh skin renewal.
Microneedling for Uneven Tone
Hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and discoloration can be visibly reduced over time as microneedling promotes even skin turnover.
Microneedling for Stretch Marks
Microneedling fades the appearance of stretch marks by targeting dermal layers where the marks originated—especially on the stomach, thighs, and arms.

Microneedling Treatment: What to Expect
Every microneedling session at BodyLase is designed with your comfort, safety, and skin goals in mind. Here’s what you can expect before, during, and after your appointment.
Treatment Time
Each session lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to minimize discomfort.
Number of Sessions
Most clients benefit most from a series of 4 to 6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For maintenance, we recommend 3–4 treatments per year.
Timeline for Results
Visible results appear gradually as collagen regenerates. Most clients begin to see noticeable improvements after 3–6 months, with ongoing enhancements after each session.
Microneedling Aftercare
After your microneedling session, your skin will enter a healing and collagen-building phase. Proper microneedling aftercare is essential for achieving the best possible outcome.
Post-Treatment Guidelines:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 10 days following treatment
- Do not apply makeup for the first 12 hours post-treatment
- Keep your skin hydrated by drinking lots of water and using a gentle moisturizer
- Avoid retinoids, acids, and harsh skincare for at least 3-5 days
Your skin may appear red, swollen, or feel itchy—similar to a mild sunburn—for the first few hours. Most clients return to normal activities the next day.
