Needles are everywhere in medical aesthetics, from injectable treatments to needling treatments that use tiny sterile needles to create tiny punctures and energy based microneedling.

Creating a lot of punctures in the skin is microtrauma that the body recognizes and responds to biologically, creating biostimulatory effects such as neocollagenesis, the formation of new collagen in the skin, and neovascularization, the formation of new blood supply in the skin.

Some needles are big, some are tiny – but no matter how "minimally invasive" the treatment sounds, it's important to know the details, see someone who is experienced with these treatments and devices, and be sure it fits with your desires and lifestyle.

Dr. Bass shares everything you need to know about minimally invasive needle treatments, including the different types of devices, what each treatment targets, how to prevent bruising, and what's required to get a meaningful result.
