Microneedling
If you're dealing with fine lines, acne scars, or uneven texture, microneedling may be the perfect solution. Triple board-certified Dr. Carey Nease, MD, offers expert microneedling in Chattanooga, TN, and the surrounding areas to help patients achieve radiant, youthful skin with precision and care.
















What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cutting-edge skin rejuvenation treatment designed to address fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and other common skin concerns. At Nease Cosmetic Surgery, we offer Vivace™ microneedling, the most advanced microneedling system available. The Vivace™ system utilizes ultra-fine, gold-tipped needles and a state-of-the-art algorithm, paired with an enhanced motor, to deliver exceptional results with minimal discomfort and downtime.
This innovative procedure works by creating controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, which stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. Vivace™ microneedling is suitable for most skin types and can target the face, neck, décolletage, and hands for comprehensive rejuvenation.
For patients seeking microneedling in Chattanooga, TN, and the surrounding areas of Kimball, Nashville, and Scottsboro, AL, Dr. Carey Nease offers this advanced treatment to help restore confidence and achieve healthier, glowing skin.4o

Vivace™ Microneedling
Vivace™ is the most advanced microneedling system, combining radiofrequency energy with gold-tipped needles. It stimulates collagen production, smooths wrinkles, and tightens skin, delivering stunning results with minimal discomfort.
Traditional Microneedling
This method uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, promoting natural healing and collagen production. It effectively treats scars, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.

Microneedling Recovery & Aftercare
Proper aftercare is crucial to maximize the benefits of microneedling in TN and ensure a smooth recovery. Following your provider’s instructions will help you achieve the best possible results. Here are six key tips for post-treatment care:
1
Avoid Sun Exposure
Protect your skin by avoiding direct sun exposure for at least a week. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher when going outdoors.
2
Keep Your Skin Hydrated
Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer as recommended by your provider to soothe and protect the treated area.
3
Avoid Harsh Products
Refrain from using exfoliants, retinol, or any harsh skincare products for 3-5 days post-treatment to avoid irritation.
4
Do Not Touch or Pick at Your Skin
Allow your skin to heal naturally. Avoid picking or scratching at peeling or flaking areas to prevent scarring.
5
Stay Away from Makeup
Avoid applying makeup for at least 24 hours after your microneedling session to reduce the risk of irritation or infection.
6
Follow Your Provider’s Guidance
Use any recommended post-care products or treatments to optimize healing and achieve the best results.

Am I a Good Candidate for Microneedling?
Chances are, if you’re a healthy adult with no major medical issues, you’ll be a good candidate for microneedling. You will need to be clear of any active infections, but otherwise, most healthy adults will be able to take advantage of the benefits microneedling offers.
What is Microneedling Recovery Like?
Your skin will likely be slightly red and feel mildly tender the first few days after the treatment. It’s a non-invasive procedure, so there’s really very little need (if any) for downtime. You can typically return to your normal activities the day following the treatment.
Your skin will be sensitive, so precautions need to be taken to protect it, particularly from sun exposure. Ask your doctor or aesthetician about using makeup to camouflage any residual redness.
You’ll be given post-procedure instructions, which should be closely adhered to for optimal recovery results. You should be able to see full results in a few weeks.
