BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING

01

Powerful Scar Reduction

Microneedling is one of the most effective non-surgical treatments for acne scars and traumatic scarring in Chicago. At ACE Dental Center, Dr. Azam Saeed uses adjustable needle depths to target different scar types and stimulate collagen remodeling. By breaking down rigid scar tissue and encouraging new collagen formation, patients often see 40–70% improvement in scar appearance after a customized treatment series.

02

Enhanced Product Penetration

The microchannels created during microneedling increase absorption of medical-grade serums by up to 3,000%. At our Chicago office, growth factors, hyaluronic acid, and peptide-rich solutions are applied immediately after treatment while channels are open, allowing deeper penetration and dramatically enhanced results. This approach improves both surface texture and deeper structural concerns simultaneously.

03

Safe for All Skin Types

Unlike some laser treatments that may carry pigmentation risks for darker skin tones, microneedling at our Chicago practice is safe for all skin types. The procedure preserves the epidermis while stimulating collagen beneath the surface. Most patients experience only 24–48 hours of mild redness, making it an ideal option for busy Chicago professionals who want noticeable improvement without extended downtime.

THE MICRONEEDLING (COLLAGEN RENEWAL THERAPY) PROCEDURE

Here’s what you can expect at ACE Dental Chicago.
step one
Consultation with Dr. Saeed

Dr. Azam Saeed performs a comprehensive skin evaluation at our Chicago office, examining scar depth, texture concerns, pore size, and overall skin health. Your medical history is reviewed to identify any contraindications, and high-resolution photographs document your baseline condition. Dr. Saeed discusses realistic expectations and creates a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific concerns and Chicago lifestyle needs.

step two
Pre-Treatment Preparation

Your skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical anesthetic is applied for 30–45 minutes to ensure comfort. Once fully numbed, the treatment area is carefully disinfected and prepared using medical-grade antiseptic protocols followed in our Chicago practice.

step three
Precision Microneedling

Dr. Saeed uses a medical-grade microneedling device calibrated to your customized needle depth. The device is methodically passed across targeted areas, creating thousands of controlled micro-channels to stimulate collagen production. Treatment typically takes 20–45 minutes depending on the areas treated. Immediately afterward, concentrated serums containing growth factors or hyaluronic acid are applied to maximize absorption and results.

step four
Post-Treatment Care & Follow-Up Protocol

A soothing recovery serum and broad-spectrum sunscreen are applied before you leave our Chicago office. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions including gentle cleansing, hydration, and strict sun protection. Mild redness is common for 24–48 hours and gradually fades over several days. Follow-up sessions are typically scheduled 4–6 weeks apart, with most Chicago patients completing a series of 3–6 treatments for optimal results.

Does microneedling hurt in Chicago, IL?

At ACE Dental Center in Chicago, we apply a topical numbing cream for 30–45 minutes before treatment to ensure your comfort. Most patients describe microneedling as mild pressure or light scratching rather than pain.

Comfort levels vary depending on the treatment area, and Dr. Azam Saeed can adjust needle depth or apply additional numbing if needed. The procedure typically takes 20–45 minutes, and any mild sensitivity or redness usually resolves within a few hours.

How many microneedling sessions do I need?

The number of sessions depends on your skin concerns and goals. For general anti-aging and texture improvement, most Chicago patients need 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Moderate acne scarring may require 4–6 treatments for optimal results.

Dr. Saeed evaluates your progress after each session at our Chicago office and adjusts your treatment plan as needed. Results continue improving for 3–6 months after your final session as collagen production increases.

What's the difference between microneedling and dermarolling?

Professional microneedling at ACE Dental Center in Chicago uses FDA-cleared automated devices with precise depth control and sterile, single-use cartridges. This allows treatment at safe, therapeutic depths customized to your skin.

At-home dermarollers use fixed-length needles that cannot be properly sterilized and typically only reach superficial depths (around 0.5mm). These devices carry higher risks of infection, irritation, and scarring compared to professional microneedling performed by Dr. Saeed.

When will I see results from microneedling?

Most patients at ACE Dental Center in Chicago notice an immediate glow due to increased circulation. However, true collagen remodeling takes time. Early improvements in skin texture and tone typically appear within 2–3 weeks as cellular turnover increases.

More significant collagen production begins around 4–6 weeks after treatment and continues building for 3–6 months. For acne scar treatment, visible improvement often becomes noticeable after 2–3 sessions at our Chicago office.

Can microneedling be done on active acne?

At our Chicago practice, Dr. Azam Saeed does not perform microneedling over active inflammatory acne or pustules, as needling can spread bacteria and worsen breakouts. Active acne should be treated and controlled first with appropriate medical care.

Once acne is under control, microneedling is highly effective for treating acne scars and improving overall skin texture. If you have occasional isolated blemishes, Dr. Saeed can safely work around those areas during your Chicago microneedling treatment.
