Collagen and hydration naturally decrease over time, causing the skin to lose firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. As this happens, fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and dull skin can become more noticeable. Microneedling with Rejuran combines collagen stimulation with regenerative skin repair to improve skin quality gradually, rather than covering up these concerns.
At The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, microneedling with Rejuran in Kirkland is recommended for patients looking to improve skin texture, acne scars, and early signs of aging without surgery. Each patient is evaluated individually because the depth of microneedling, the amount of Rejuran used, and the number of treatments depend on the condition of the skin and the goals being treated.
Bellevue microneedling with Rejuran is performed by Licensed Master Aestheticians under the supervision of board-certified plastic surgeons. This allows patients to receive aesthetic treatment with physician oversight while following a treatment plan developed for their specific skin concerns.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling uses a handheld device fitted with fine, sterile needles to create a pattern of shallow punctures across the treatment area. The skin reads this as a minor injury and responds by producing new collagen and elastin at the site. Over several weeks, that response translates into firmer, smoother, more even-looking skin.
What Is Rejuran?
Rejuran is a regenerative injectable built from purified polynucleotides, which are DNA fragments sourced from salmon and processed for medical use. Its role in skincare is repair-focused rather than corrective. Rejuran does not restore lost volume, and it has no effect on the muscles beneath the skin.
Rejuran does not function as:
- A neuromodulator, such as Botox
- A dermal filler
- A surgical procedure
Since its mechanism is different from these other treatments, Rejuran is typically layered into a plan alongside them rather than used as a direct substitute.
Why Kirkland Microneedling with Rejuran Work Well Together?
On its own, microneedling opens temporary channels in the skin while triggering a collagen response. Rejuran, applied right after, uses those same channels to move past the surface layer, where it can support hydration and tissue repair more directly than it would through topical use alone.
A question that comes up often in consultations is whether can you use Rejuran with microneedling without added risk. In most cases, yes, and the pairing of Kirkland microneedling with Rejuran is one of the more requested combinations among patients focused on skin quality rather than volume or muscle movement.
What are the Benefits of Microneedling with Rejuran in Kikrland?
Microneedling with Rejuran in Kirkland works by combining a mechanical collagen trigger with a biological repair signal, and the results tend to build gradually rather than appear overnight. Patients most often pursue this treatment for acne scarring, early aging, rough texture, and dull skin tone.
Acne Scarring: Collagen produced in response to needling fills in unevenly textured scar tissue over time, while Rejuran supports the surrounding repair process.
Fine Lines: Softer-looking fine lines are one of the more commonly reported changes, driven by new collagen and improved hydration working together.
Mild Wrinkles: This is not a substitute for a neuromodulator, but stronger collagen support beneath the surface can smooth the look of shallow wrinkles.
Pore Size: As collagen builds around hair follicles, pores often appear tighter and less visible.
Texture Irregularities: Rough or bumpy texture, regardless of the original cause, tends to respond well to the remodeling process this treatment triggers.
Complexion: Hydration improvements paired with healthier surface skin often show up as a brighter, more consistent tone.
Elasticity: Collagen and elastin both contribute to how well skin resists sagging over time.
Hydration: Rejuran’s polynucleotide content is tied to improved moisture retention in the skin.
Barrier Strength: A more resilient skin barrier holds moisture better and reacts less to everyday irritants.

Patients looking for microneedling with Rejuran in Bellevue can go over candidacy directly with the provider team during a scheduled consultation. The same review process applies for patients at the Kirkland office.
What Happens During Treatment?
The appointment moves through a set sequence: consultation, cleansing, numbing, microneedling, Rejuran application, cooling, and aftercare review.
Skin is cleansed and given time to numb before treatment begins. Microneedling is performed across the treatment area at a depth determined during consultation. Rejuran is applied immediately afterward, while the channels created by needling are still open. A cooling step calms the skin, and the patient leaves with written aftercare instructions.
What is the Recovery Process?
- Day 1: Skin looks and feels similar to mild sunburn
- Days 2 to 3: Redness continues to fade
- Week 1: Surface healing is largely complete
- Weeks 2 to 4: Collagen remodeling continues beneath the surface
- Month 2: Firmness and texture changes become more visible
- Month 3: Continued improvement as collagen matures
What Results Look Like Over Time
- Immediately after: Mild redness and swelling as healing begins
- Week 2: Skin feels smoother and better hydrated
- Week 4: Texture and tone start showing visible change
- Week 8: Firmness and scar improvement become more noticeable
- Week 12: Most patients reach their fullest visible result at this stage
Microneedling with Rejuran Before and After
Patients frequently ask what a realistic outcome of Kirkland microneedling with Rejuran in Bellevue microneedling with rejuran looks like before booking. Reviewing microneedling with Rejuran before and after comparisons is a common part of that research, and most cases show gradual change across several weeks rather than an immediate shift.
Results depend on skin condition, age, and how many sessions are completed, so outcomes will vary from patient to patient.
How To Take Care Before and After Microneedling with Rejuran in Kirkland?
Skip these leading up to treatment:
- Retinoids
- Exfoliating acids
- Direct sun exposure
- Self-tanning products
Use these once treatment is done:
- A hydrating, gentle moisturizer
- Broad-spectrum sunscreen
- A mild, non-irritating cleanser
Hold off on these after treatment:
- Makeup, for the window your provider specifies
- Swimming
- Saunas and steam rooms
- Intense exercise
- Harsh or exfoliating skincare products
Pairing Rejuran With Other Treatments?
Rejuran with microneedling can be built into a larger skincare plan when it makes sense for the patient. Options include:
- RF microneedling with Rejuran
- Laser resurfacing
- Chemical peels
- PRP
- Neurotoxin injections
- Dermal fillers
- Medical-grade skincare products
Timing and sequencing matter, so combinations are reviewed individually rather than applied as a standard package. Patients dealing with more noticeable laxity are sometimes better suited to a deeper option involving heat-based needling. A consultation is the right first step for anyone considering a combined approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does microneedling damage the skin?
No. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the body’s natural healing response. When performed by trained providers, these tiny channels heal quickly and encourage new collagen production.
Why is Rejuran applied immediately after microneedling?
Microneedling creates temporary channels in the skin. Applying Rejuran while these channels are still open allows the regenerative ingredients to reach deeper layers, where they can better support hydration and tissue repair.
Is one treatment enough?
Some patients notice improvements after one session, but concerns such as acne scars or uneven texture often respond better to a series of treatments. Your provider will recommend a treatment schedule based on your skin condition.
Can this treatment improve skin quality even if I don't have wrinkles?
Yes. Many patients choose microneedling with Rejuran to improve skin texture, hydration, pore appearance, and overall skin quality before deeper signs of aging develop.
How far apart should microneedling with Rejuran sessions be?
Treatment sessions are typically spaced several weeks apart to allow the skin time to heal and produce new collagen before the next session. Your provider will determine the appropriate schedule during your consultation.
Can this treatment be performed on areas other than the face?
Yes. Depending on your concerns, microneedling with Rejuran may also be used on areas such as the neck, décolletage, or hands. Your provider will determine whether these areas are appropriate for treatment.
Will my skin continue producing collagen after treatment?
Yes. Collagen remodeling continues beneath the skin for several weeks after treatment, which is why improvements often develop gradually instead of appearing immediately.
Can enlarged pores be permanently removed?
No. Pores cannot be permanently eliminated, but increased collagen around the pores may make them appear smaller and less noticeable over time.
Can I combine microneedling with Rejuran with my regular skincare routine?
Yes, but certain products such as retinoids, exfoliating acids, and other potentially irritating ingredients should be paused before and after treatment until your provider advises it is safe to resume them.
What makes microneedling with Rejuran different from microneedling alone?
Microneedling stimulates collagen production through controlled skin injury, while Rejuran adds regenerative polynucleotides that support tissue repair and hydration. The combination addresses both collagen stimulation and skin recovery.
How soon can I return to work after treatment?
Many patients return to work the following day, although mild redness similar to a sunburn may remain for 24 to 72 hours.
Can I have this treatment throughout the year?
Yes. The treatment can generally be performed year-round, provided you follow sun protection recommendations before and after each session.
