What is the microneedling procedure?
If you have problems with fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or hyperpigmentation, laser procedures or abrasive skincare products are not the only available options. A minimally invasive but extremely effective alternative is microneedling – a revolutionary dermal regeneration method that stimulates the skin to heal from the inside out. By creating controlled micro-lesions at the skin level, this treatment activates the natural production process of collagen and elastin, essential for firm, smooth, and even skin.
Dr. Olimpiu Hârceagă uses advanced microneedling protocols in his clinic, customized according to each patient’s needs. The treatment is performed with SkinPen, an innovative medical device, FDA-approved, recognized for its precision and safety. SkinPen allows deep skin treatment, with visible results in improving texture, reducing post-acne scars, and fading wrinkles or pigmentation spots – all without prolonged recovery time. Microneedling thus becomes a modern and efficient solution for those who want healthier, younger, and more radiant skin, without resorting to aggressive interventions.

01. How does the microneedling procedure work?
If you have problems with fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or hyperpigmentation, laser procedures or abrasive skincare products are not the only options. Microneedling is one of the most effective methods to rejuvenate skin from the inside out and Dr. Olimpiu Hârceagă uses advanced protocols to perform this treatment using the innovative SkinPen device in his clinic.
Microneedling treatments work by creating small micro-channels in the skin, using very fine needles. These needles make punctures in the skin at different depths that trigger the body’s natural healing process. This healing process involves building collagen and repairing cells as quickly as possible. The result? Smoother, firmer skin that looks more youthful. It is a controlled injury to the skin that produces remarkable results after just a few treatments.
02. What should I expect from a microneedling treatment?
What are the advantages of the microneedling procedure?
Some of the benefits of the microneedling procedure include:
Produces predictable results: The treatment is controlled and standardized, especially when performed with medical devices like SkinPen, which means the results are safe, consistent, and reproducible. Patients can expect progressive and visible improvement in skin appearance after each session.
Can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles: By stimulating collagen and elastin synthesis, microneedling helps restore the dermal structure, giving the skin a smoother and firmer appearance. This natural regeneration contributes to fading wrinkles and restoring a more youthful skin tone.
Can improve the appearance of post-acne scars: Deep or pigmented scars left by acne can be visibly reduced due to deep tissue regeneration. Microneedling helps “fill” those irregular areas by stimulating localized collagen restoration.
Can restore textural irregularities of the skin: Skin affected by enlarged pores, roughness, or spots caused by sun exposure can regain a uniform and velvety texture through repeated treatments, customized according to each case.
Can be used to treat stretch marks: Stretch marks, whether recent or older, can be visibly reduced through microneedling. The treatment supports the regeneration of collagen fibers in affected areas, improving skin tone and elasticity.
Can treat hyper- and hypopigmentation: Microneedling contributes to evening skin tone by regulating melanin distribution. Both excess pigmentation spots (hyperpigmentation) and lighter colored areas (hypopigmentation) can be gradually balanced, with visible results after several sessions.
What is the cost of microdermabrasion treatment?
The costs mentioned are estimates, and they may vary depending on the surgical technique chosen, the complexity of the case, as well as any additional procedures or investigations required.
A detailed final cost can only be established after a medical consultation, in which the patient’s clinical situation will be assessed and the individualized therapeutic plan will be established. These costs include: the surgeon’s and anesthesiologist’s fees, the period of hospitalization, all the medicines and materials needed during the surgery and during hospitalization. For a personalized estimate, we recommend scheduling a consultation.
