We can use both microneedling and laser treatments to either target specific concerns or use for general skin rejuvenation. Treatments that use heat, light, or lasers are not typically suited for people with darker skin tones. Microneedling is an alternative to IPL and laser treatments that offers many of the same benefits without the risk of skin discoloration. That said, many of our patients’ treatment plans may utilize a combination of IPL, laser treatments, and microneedling to address different areas, depths, or skin concerns.
