Microneedling in St. Petersburg
Microneedling Treatments in St. Petersburg, FL
Microneedling, a minimally invasive skincare procedure involving small needles to create micro-channels in the skin, not only stimulates the natural healing response and enhances skincare product absorption but also stands out for its collagen-boosting benefits. Remarkably, one microneedling treatment is equivalent to the collagen production typically achieved over the course of a year. This makes microneedling an efficient and effective method for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, and rejuvenating the overall appearance. For optimal results, a series of treatments spaced four to six weeks apart is recommended, ensuring a cumulative and lasting impact on collagen synthesis.
Microneedling: How Does It Work, and What Are the Benefits?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a specialized device with fine, sterile needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These controlled injuries trigger your body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—the essential building blocks for firmer, healthier skin.
The benefits of microneedling include:
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Diminished acne scars and stretch marks
- Minimized pore size
- Enhanced absorption of skincare products
Microneedling is a leading choice for non-surgical and minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatments in St. Petersburg, offering long-term results with minimal downtime.
Microneedling: Consultation and Candidates
A consultation with Dr. Anthony will confirm your compatibility with microneedling. Ideal candidates for skin renewal with microneedling may include adults seeking a non-surgical solution for achieving tighter skin and diminishing fine lines and acne scars. Unlike some laser skin treatments, microneedling is safe for nearly all skin types and color tones, however individuals who have darker skin, or those with an active infection may need to follow specific pre and post-treatment instructions or temporarily delay undergoing the procedure.
Not only will a pre-treatment consultation confirm that microneedling is the right solution for addressing your aesthetic concerns, this initial meeting and evaluation with Dr. Anthony will provide the opportunity to receive personalized recommendations and discuss the anticipated number of sessions needed to meet your outcome goals.

Dr. Charles Anthony is a board certified Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon who specializes in facial plastic surgery and aesthetic rejuvenation of the face. He has over 10 years of surgical experience and his expertise in minimally invasive and advanced surgical techniques aids him in designing tailored treatment plans to meet his patients’ unique cosmetic goals.
What to Expect During and After Microneedling
Prior to starting your microneedling session, the skin in the treatment areas will be cleansed with an antiseptic and a topical numbing cream will be applied to maximize your comfort. The microneedling applicator is then strategically moved across the treatment zones, with each session typically lasting between thirty and sixty minutes.
During recovery from microneedling, patients may experience mild redness, sensitivity or pin spot bleeding. A standout benefit of skin rejuvenation with microneedling is the minimal to no downtime required following treatment sessions. Except for recommendations to avoid excessive heat, sun exposure and physical activity for a day or two, patients can otherwise resume their regular daily schedule if they choose.
Dr. Anthony will provide specific aftercare instructions designed to help you heal faster and ensure optimal results with each session. Improvements to skin in the treatment areas will emerge gradually and are cumulative when performed as part of a series. The results from each session are ongoing as new collagen and elastin forms. While a single microneedling session will deliver noticeable benefits, a series of three to four microneedling sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is a common recommendation for those seeking more transformative results.

- Chemical Peels or Dermaplaning: Pairing microneedling with chemical peels or dermaplaning helps exfoliate and brighten skin for enhanced results.
