What Is Microneedling?
Fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture can all make your complexion appear less vibrant, no matter how hard you work to take care of your skin. Microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) is a nonsurgical treatment that encourages your skin to refresh itself naturally, helping reveal smoother, healthier-looking skin over time. At Midwest Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics, we perform microneedling with the Rejuvapen® NXT, an advanced device that creates thousands of tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin. These microscopic openings activate your body's natural repair response, stimulating the production of fresh collagen and elastin while replacing older, damaged tissue with healthier skin. Whether performed on its own or in combination with our other skin rejuvenation treatments, microneedling can dramatically refresh your look by minimizing the appearance of stretch marks, pores, scars, and other imperfections. Schedule a consultation with our skin care specialists in Orland Park or Frankfort, IL to learn more about the benefits of microneedling and discover how it can help your skin look and feel better.
How Is Microneedling Performed?
After reviewing your medical history and treatment goals, your provider at Midwest Medical Weight Loss & Aesthetics will determine how your procedure should be customized for your skin. Before treatment starts, they'll apply a topical numbing cream to maximize comfort and adjust the Rejuvapen NXT's depth and speed based on the treatment area, your skin's condition, and your desired results. Once your skin has been cleansed and numbed, they'll guide the microneedling handpiece across the treatment area in a carefully controlled pattern. They'll finish by applying a nourishing serum to your skin, allowing it to absorb into the newly opened microchannels. In the weeks after your microneedling treatment, you should start to notice continued improvements in the texture, firmness, and quality of your skin.
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
From refining pores and softening acne scars to improving fine lines and uneven texture, Rejuvapen NXT microneedling can enhance your complexion while preserving the features that make you look like yourself. Because microneedling relies on your body's own healing response, it's also easy to incorporate into a long-term skin care plan, offering benefits for patients in the Orland Park and Frankfort, IL area that include:

Frequently Asked Questions about Microneedling
How does microneedling support skin renewal?
Microneedling creates tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin that activate your body's natural healing response. As your skin repairs itself, it produces new collagen and elastin, helping improve texture, firmness, and overall skin quality over time.
What makes Rejuvapen different from other microneedling devices?
Rejuvapen uses a precision-engineered, medical-grade handpiece designed to create consistent microchannels while minimizing unnecessary trauma to the surrounding skin. This controlled approach allows treatments to be customized for different skin concerns and treatment areas while promoting predictable, natural-looking results.
How often should microneedling be scheduled?
Many patients benefit from a series of 3 – 6 treatments spaced about 4 – 6 weeks apart. Once your initial series is complete, maintenance treatments can help support ongoing collagen production and preserve your results.
What areas can be treated with microneedling?
Microneedling is commonly performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands, but it can also improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks, and uneven texture on other areas of the body. During your consultation, your provider will recommend the treatment areas that best align with your goals.
What happens during a microneedling session?
Your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied before treatment begins. Your provider will then glide the Rejuvapen device across the treatment area, creating controlled microchannels in the skin. We'll finish your microneedling treatment by applying soothing skin care products and giving you detailed instructions to protect your skin and maximize your results.
