If you’re looking for a natural, effective way to smooth fine lines, reduce wrinkles, and restore your skin’s youthful glow, microneedling might be the solution you’ve been searching for. At Daverio Functional Medicine & Acupuncture in South Sarasota, microneedling is one of our most popular non-invasive treatments for anti-aging and skin rejuvenation.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses ultra-fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate your body’s natural healing process, increasing collagen and elastin production—the key building blocks for firm, smooth, and youthful skin.
How Microneedling Helps with Anti-Aging
Over time, our natural collagen production slows, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and dullness. Microneedling helps reverse these effects by triggering the skin to regenerate from within. It’s especially effective for:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Sun damage and uneven tone
- Rough skin texture
- Large pores
- Mild acne scarring
- Neck and décolleté aging
Many clients notice a more radiant complexion within days, with continued improvements over several weeks as new collagen forms.
What to Expect from a Microneedling Session
At Daverio Functional Medicine & Acupuncture, your microneedling session begins with a thorough consultation to ensure the treatment is tailored to your unique skin goals. A topical numbing cream is applied to keep you comfortable, and the procedure itself takes about 30–45 minutes. Most clients describe it as a mild tingling or scratching sensation.
After treatment, you may experience some redness—similar to a light sunburn—for 24–48 hours. Results typically begin to appear within a week and continue to improve over several sessions.
Why Choose Microneedling Over Injectables?
Unlike injectables, which add volume artificially, microneedling boosts your body’s natural collagen production, making it a great option for those seeking a more holistic anti-aging solution. It’s also safe for all skin types and tones, with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
Enhance Results with Holistic Skincare Support
We combine microneedling with our knowledge of functional medicine and integrative skincare to support your skin from the inside out. You’ll receive customized post-treatment recommendations, including nutritional support, herbal medicine, and natural topical serums to optimize healing and results.
