Microneedling at MDCS Dermatology improves pore size, skin texture, and overall smoothness by stimulating collagen production. Dr. Rasna Kaur Neelam, MD, MS, FAAD customizes treatments to refine pores, even skin tone, and enhance natural skin radiance.
Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores are common concerns that can make the skin appear less smooth and more aged. While pores cannot be permanently “shrunk,” their appearance can be significantly improved with collagen-stimulating treatments like microneedling. At MDCS Dermatology, Dr. Rasna Kaur Neelam, MD, MS, FAAD offers advanced microneedling treatments designed to refine skin texture, improve tone, and restore a smoother complexion.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine, controlled needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels stimulate the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production.
Collagen is essential for:
- Firmness
- Smoothness
- Skin elasticity
- Pore refinement
As new collagen forms, the skin becomes more even and refined over time.
How Microneedling Improves Pore Size
Pores often appear enlarged due to:
- Excess oil production
- Loss of skin elasticity
- Sun damage
- Aging and collagen breakdown
Microneedling helps by:
- Tightening surrounding skin structure
- Thickening the dermis
- Reducing the “stretched” appearance of pores
- Improving overall oil balance over time
Dr. Rasna Kaur Neelam, MD, MS, FAAD carefully adjusts treatment depth and technique based on skin type and concerns to maximize results safely.
Texture Benefits Beyond Pores
Microneedling is not limited to pore reduction—it also improves overall skin quality by addressing:
- Rough or uneven texture
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Acne scarring and post-inflammatory irregularities
- Dull or tired-looking skin
With consistent treatment, patients often notice a smoother, more radiant complexion.
What to Expect During Treatment
At MDCS Dermatology, microneedling is performed with patient comfort in mind:
- A topical numbing cream is applied
- A microneedling device is passed evenly across the skin
- Controlled micro-injuries stimulate collagen production
- Soothing serums may be applied afterward for enhanced healing
Most patients experience mild redness similar to a sunburn that resolves within 24–72 hours.
When Will You See Results?
Microneedling results develop gradually:
- 1–2 weeks: Skin appears smoother and more hydrated
- 4–6 weeks: Noticeable improvement in texture and tone
- 8–12 weeks: Pore appearance becomes more refined as collagen builds
- Ongoing: Continued improvement with a treatment series
Multiple sessions are typically recommended for optimal results.

- Safe for most skin types
