Microneedling in Evansville, IN

Board-Certified Surgeon Serving Newburgh, Henderson, & Vanderburgh County

Your skin doesn't lose its glow overnight — it happens gradually. Fine lines start to settle in, texture becomes uneven, acne scars linger longer than they should, and suddenly your skin just doesn't reflect light the way it used to. If you have reached the point where skincare products alone aren't delivering the results you want, microneedling offers a powerful next step.

At Conkright Aesthetics in Evansville, microneedling activates your skin's natural repair process, stimulating collagen production at a deeper level to restore firmness, smoothness, and overall clarity. This minimally invasive treatment goes beyond surface-level exfoliation, working within the skin to improve texture, tone, and elasticity — revealing a healthier, more resilient complexion over time.

Each microneedling treatment plan is carefully customized and delivered by Dr. J. Michael Conkright.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, commonly referred to as collagen induction therapy, creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin that activate the body's natural healing response. When performed by a trained skincare professional, this process delivers multiple benefits — including enhanced collagen and elastin production, improved skin firmness, reduced appearance of fine lines and scars, and diminished hyperpigmentation.

At Conkright Aesthetics, microneedling treatments are performed by Dr. J. Michael Conkright — ensuring every patient receives the highest standard of care from consultation through treatment completion.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

Microneedling is a highly effective treatment for patients looking to improve overall skin quality without surgery or extended downtime. Benefits include:

  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles by encouraging the production of new collagen and elastin, improving skin firmness and elasticity over time
  • Improves skin texture and smoothness, refining rough or uneven areas for a more polished, radiant appearance
  • Minimizes the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, and other textural irregularities
  • Enhances product absorption, allowing medical-grade skincare to penetrate more effectively for improved results
  • Diminishes hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, including sun damage and post-inflammatory pigmentation
  • No surgery, no significant downtime, and results that continue to improve over time

Who Are the Best Candidates for Microneedling?

Microneedling is suitable for a wide range of patients, particularly those seeking to address early signs of aging or improve overall skin quality without more invasive procedures. Good candidates include:

  • Individuals with mild to moderate signs of aging, including fine lines, early wrinkles, and loss of skin firmness
  • Patients with acne scars or other types of scarring who want to improve skin texture
  • Those with uneven skin tone or pigmentation, including sun damage or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Individuals committed to maintaining long-term skin health, as microneedling works best as part of a consistent treatment plan

What to Expect on the Day of Microneedling

Your microneedling treatment at Conkright Aesthetics will be comfortable, efficient, and performed by Dr. Conkright.

Prior to treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to minimize discomfort. A topical gel is then applied to allow the microneedling device to glide smoothly over the treatment area. The procedure itself takes approximately 30–60 minutes depending on the area being treated.

As the micro-needles penetrate the skin, you may feel a mild pressure or vibration — most patients describe the sensation as manageable rather than painful. Some areas may feel slightly more sensitive depending on location, depth, and skin thickness. Minimal pinpoint bleeding and temporary redness are normal and expected. Redness typically subsides within 24–48 hours.

Combining Microneedling with Other Treatments

Microneedling is highly effective on its own, but when combined with complementary treatments it can deliver even more comprehensive skin rejuvenation results.

Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate deeper collagen remodeling and soft tissue contraction — taking the benefits of standard microneedling to the next level. While standard microneedling addresses surface texture and tone, Morpheus8 works at a deeper structural level to improve skin firmness and overall quality. The two treatments complement each other beautifully as part of a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan.

Microneedling Recovery

One of the key advantages of microneedling is its minimal downtime. Immediately after treatment, the skin will appear red and slightly sensitive — similar to a mild sunburn — which fades within 24–48 hours. Some patients may also experience mild swelling, dryness, or tightness as the skin begins its healing process.

Most patients can resume normal activities immediately following treatment. Following post-treatment guidelines is important for optimal results:

  • Avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher
  • Use gentle, hydrating skincare products
  • Avoid harsh exfoliants or active ingredients for several days following treatment
  • Makeup can be applied over sun protection within 2–3 days of treatment

Collagen production continues to improve skin tone and texture over the following weeks, with continued enhancement after each session in a series.
