If you’re frustrated with fine lines creeping in too soon, acne scars that won’t fade, or skin that looks tired no matter how much you moisturize, you’re not alone. For many, these issues don’t stem from lack of effort, but from the skin’s natural slowdown in collagen production and cellular turnover.
If you’ve tried every serum on the shelf with minimal results, it’s easy to feel stuck.
You may want that fresh-faced glow but not the downtime of lasers. That’s where regenerative microneedling at CONTŌR Studios comes in. Regenerative Microneedling in New York, NY, is a minimally invasive skin method that uses fine needles to create microchannels in the skin.
This best microneedling treatment is ” regenerative ” because biologically active serums—like growth factors or platelet-rich plasma (PRP)—are added immediately after microneedling. These substances work with your body to speed healing and improve results. By stimulating your skin’s natural healing ability—and boosting it with regenerative ingredients—this treatment is making waves for those who want real, lasting improvement without harsh side effects.

Benefits of Regenerative Microneedling
This treatment is far more than a quick fix. It supports the deeper structure of the skin while also addressing surface-level concerns. Here are some of the most notable benefits:
1. Smoother Texture
If you struggle with rough patches, bumpy skin, or enlarged pores, microneedling encourages cell turnover and helps refine surface irregularities.
2. Improved Acne Scars and Stretch Marks
One of the best-known uses is microneedling for acne scars and stretch marks. By stimulating new tissue growth in the deeper layers, scars become softer and less visible over time.
3. Firmer, Plumper Skin
As collagen levels increase, so does your skin’s firmness and elasticity. This is especially helpful for areas around the jawline, cheeks, and eyes where laxity often begins.
4. Brighter, More Even Tone
Post-inflammatory pigmentation, mild sun damage, and dullness are all improved with increased circulation and faster cellular renewal.
5. Minimal Downtime, Long-Lasting Results
Unlike more aggressive treatments, regenerative needling therapy allows most people to return to their routine within 24–48 hours. Yet the results continue improving for weeks.
Many clients tell us they love the natural look they achieve—refreshed and healthier skin, not an over-treated appearance.
What to Expect
Many people hesitate to try new treatments because they’re unsure what the experience involves. Here’s what a typical Regenerative Microneedling in New York, NY, session looks like:
Before Your Appointment
- Avoid retinol, acids, and exfoliants for 5–7 days before treatment
- Don’t schedule your session too close to an event—give yourself 3–5 days of cushion
- Avoid tanning, excessive sun, or waxing in the treatment area
- Come with clean skin, no makeup
During Your Treatment
- Your medical aesthetician will cleanse your skin and apply a strong prescription numbing cream.
- After 20–30 minutes, the microneedling begins—it feels like a vibration or light scratching.
- Once finished, growth factors or PRP are applied to the skin to aid healing.
- Total time: Around 1 hour
Immediately After
- Expect redness for 24–48 hours, like a mild sunburn
- Mild swelling and dryness are common for up to 5 days
- Most clients feel comfortable returning to work or errands the next day
Aftercare Tips:
- No makeup for 24 hours
- Avoid saunas, hot yoga, or strenuous workouts for 72 hours
- Use gentle, hydrating skincare and SPF daily
When Will You See Results?
- Subtle glow: 3–5 days post-treatment
- Skin firmness, reduced scarring, and texture changes: 3–6 weeks as collagen builds
- Continued improvement over 2–3 months
For lasting effects, we typically recommend a series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, & maintenance sessions every 6–12 months.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does regenerative microneedling hurt?
Most people experience minimal discomfort with professional-grade numbing cream, like a tingling or pressure sensation.
How is this different from traditional microneedling?
Traditional microneedling stimulates collagen. Regenerative microneedling adds growth factors or PRP to speed healing, reduce redness, and improve results.
Can this help with hormonal pigmentation or melasma?
In some cases, yes—especially when combined with appropriate skincare. However, results vary, and this should be discussed during your consult.
Is it safe for deeper skin tones?
Yes, when performed by trained professionals using the correct settings and aftercare, microneedling is a safe option for most skin tones.
How does this compare to lasers or RF microneedling?
Microneedling doesn’t use heat, which makes it safer for a wider range of skin types and ideal for those prone to hyperpigmentation. It also has less downtime compared to radiofrequency options.
Is it better than injectables?
Not necessarily better—just different. Injectables like fillers or Botox target specific issues. Microneedling supports the skin overall, often combined with injectables for a more complete effect.
