BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING
Powerful Scar Reduction
Microneedling is the gold standard non-surgical treatment for acne scars and traumatic scarring.
The controlled injury breaks down rigid scar tissue while stimulating new collagen formation that fills depressed areas. Dr. Saeed at ACE Dental Center uses variable needle depths to target different scar types, achieving 40-70% improvement in scar appearance after a treatment series.
Enhanced Product Penetration
The microchannels created during treatment increase absorption by up to 3,000%, allowing growth factors, hyaluronic acid, and peptides to penetrate far deeper than topical application alone.
Dr. Saeed applies medical-grade serums immediately after treatment when channels are open, dramatically amplifying results. This treats both structural and surface-level concerns simultaneously.
Safe for All Skin Types
Unlike ablative lasers which can cause hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones, microneedling at ACE Dental Center is safe for all skin types.
The treatment preserves the epidermis, eliminating pigmentation risk while delivering powerful collagen stimulation. Most patients experience only 24-48 hours of mild redness, making it perfect for busy Lombard residents who can't afford extended recovery.
Dr. Azam Saeed performs a comprehensive evaluation of your skin concerns, examining scar depth and tissue quality. Your medical history is reviewed to identify any contraindications.
High-resolution photographs document baseline conditions, and Dr. Saeed discusses realistic expectations including the number of treatments needed based on your specific concerns.
Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and a topical anesthetic cream is applied for 30-45 minutes to ensure complete comfort. Once adequately numbed, the treatment area is prepped with antiseptic solution.
Dr. Saeed uses a medical-grade microneedling device calibrated to your customized needle depth. The device is systematically passed over treatment areas, creating thousands of microscopic perforations.
Treatment takes 20-45 minutes depending on areas covered. Immediately following, concentrated serums containing growth factors or hyaluronic acid are applied to penetrate deeply through open channels.
A soothing recovery serum and sunscreen are applied. Dr. Saeed provides detailed aftercare instructions including gentle cleansing and strict sun protection.
You'll experience immediate pinkness that intensifies over 24 hours before gradually fading over 2-4 days. Follow-up sessions are scheduled 4-6 weeks apart, with most patients requiring 3-6 sessions for optimal results.
YOUR MICRONEEDLING OPTIONS AT ACE DENTAL Center
Dr. Saeed offers multiple microneedling protocols and combination treatments at our Lombard practice to address varying skin concerns. Each approach is customized to your specific needs and desired outcomes.
Traditional Microneedling
Standard medical-grade microneedling using automated devices with adjustable needle depths. Ideal for general skin rejuvenation, fine lines, mild scarring, and texture improvement.
Serums are applied topically after needling. Requires 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart with 2-3 days of mild redness.
PRP Microneedling
Combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma derived from your own blood.
Dr. Saeed draws and processes your blood immediately before treatment at our Lombard office.
The concentrated growth factors in PRP amplify collagen stimulation and accelerate healing. Exceptional for deep acne scars, significant aging concerns, and hair restoration.
RF Microneedling
Dr. Saeed's most advanced option combines automated microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered through the needle tips directly into the dermis.
This dual approach provides both mechanical collagen induction and thermal collagen contraction for superior tightening and scar improvement.
Microneedling with Growth Factor Serums
Specialized protocol targeting the scalp to stimulate dormant hair follicles and improve hair density. Dr. Saeed uses longer needle depths combined with topical minoxidil or PRP.
Particularly effective for early-stage hair loss when follicles are weakened but not completely dormant.
Scalp Microneedling for Hair Restoration
Standard microneedling enhanced with pharmaceutical-grade serums containing EGF, FGF, and stem cell extracts. Applied immediately after needling while channels are open.
These bioactive compounds penetrate deeply to amplify cellular regeneration.
Microneedling for Stretch Marks
Body-focused treatment using deeper needle penetration to break down mature stretch mark scar tissue on abdomen, thighs, buttocks, or breasts.
The aggressive depth triggers robust collagen production that gradually normalizes skin texture. Often combined with PRP for enhanced results.

With proper topical numbing cream applied for 30-45 minutes before treatment, most patients report minimal discomfort. The sensation is often described as light scratching rather than pain.
Comfort varies by treatment area. Dr. Saeed can adjust needle depth or add additional numbing if needed. The procedure takes only 20-45 minutes, and any sensitivity resolves within hours.
Treatment frequency depends on your concerns. General anti-aging and texture improvement typically requires 3-4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Moderate acne scarring needs 4-6 treatments.
Dr. Azam Saeed at ACE Dental Center assesses your progress after each treatment and adjusts the protocol as needed. Results are progressive with optimal outcomes appearing 3-6 months after your final session.
Microneedling at ACE Dental Center uses FDA-cleared automated devices with precise depth control and sterile single-use cartridges. At-home dermarollers use fixed-length needles that cannot be properly sterilized.
Professional microneedling by Dr. Saeed penetrates to therapeutic depths safely and effectively. Home rollers rarely exceed 0.5mm and carry higher infection and scarring risk from improper technique.
You'll notice immediate skin radiance from increased blood flow, but true collagen remodeling takes time. Initial improvements in texture and tone appear around 2-3 weeks as cellular turnover accelerates.
Significant collagen production begins at 4-6 weeks and continues building for 3-6 months after each session at ACE Dental Center. For scar treatment, visible improvement typically becomes apparent after 2-3 sessions.
No. Dr. Saeed does not perform microneedling over active inflammatory acne or pustules, as needling can spread bacteria. Active acne must be controlled first through appropriate medical treatment.
However, once acne is inactive, microneedling is excellent for treating leftover scarring. If you have occasional breakouts, Dr. Saeed can work around isolated blemishes at our Lombard practice.
