Does Microneedling Work On Older Skin?

Microneedling is one of the most effective professional skincare treatments. It can help improve skin texture, lessen the appearance of acne scars, and address signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike some other treatment options like laser resurfacing and certain chemical peels, microneedling is safe for all skin tones. But, does microneedling work on older skin?

Yes, microneedling is a great option for aged skin. As we age, the skin loses collagen and thins. Microneedling—also called collagen induction therapy—helps the body produce more collagen to prevent wrinkles, fine lines, and crepey skin. While it cannot completely restore youthful skin, it is one of the best options for aging skin.

Radiofrequency microneedling also is a great option for addressing concerns related to aging. The added radiofrequency can help tighten the skin. It also can treat skin concerns at a deeper level than microneedling alone.
