Microneedling: The Ultimate Winter Skin Reset
Winter is the perfect time to invest in your skin. Between cold air, indoor heating, and low humidity, your complexion can quickly lose its healthy glow. That’s why so many patients turn to microneedling during the colder months — it’s one of the most effective ways to restore radiance and jump-start collagen production when your skin needs it most.
At Summit Dermatology in Medford OR, our expert team uses advanced microneedling technology to refresh and rejuvenate your skin safely, comfortably, and effectively — so you can face the new year with confidence.
Why Microneedling Works Better in Winter
Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers your body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin — the building blocks of smooth, youthful skin.
Because sun exposure can interfere with healing, winter’s shorter days and softer sunlight make it the ideal season to schedule this treatment.
Winter microneedling benefits include:
Easier recovery with minimal UV exposure
Improved skin hydration and barrier repair
Ideal prep time for glowing spring and summer skin
Common Concerns Microneedling Improves
Microneedling is incredibly versatile and can target many common complexion issues. Patients often notice smoother, firmer skin and a refreshed, even tone after a series of treatments.
Microneedling helps with:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Sun damage and uneven tone
Acne scars and texture irregularities
Large pores
General dullness or loss of elasticity
What Happens During a Microneedling Session
Before treatment, your skin is cleansed and a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. A handheld device gently glides across your skin, creating microchannels that stimulate new cell turnover and collagen production.
Treatment time: 30–45 minutes
Recovery: Mild redness or tightness for 24–48 hours
Results: Noticeable skin renewal in just a few weeks
For even more dramatic results, microneedling can be paired with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or customized serums to enhance healing and boost glow.
Post-Treatment Winter Care Tips
After microneedling, your skin deserves some TLC. These dermatologist-approved tips will help you protect your results and speed recovery:
Use a gentle cleanser and rich moisturizer
Avoid direct heat, exfoliants, and makeup for 24 hours
Always apply SPF (even on cloudy days!)
Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated from the inside out
