How Microneedling Works

Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers your body's natural wound-healing response.

The result? Your skin produces new collagen and elastin—the building blocks of smooth, firm, youthful skin. Over the following weeks, you'll see gradual but significant improvement in texture, tone, and overall quality.

  • 1

    Micro-Channels Created

    Tiny needles create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin.

  • 2

    Healing Response Triggered

    Your body recognizes the micro-injuries and initiates repair mode.

  • 3

    Collagen Production Increases

    New collagen and elastin fibers form, remodeling and strengthening skin.

  • 4

    Skin Rejuvenates

    Over weeks, skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even-toned.

What Microneedling Treats

One treatment, multiple concerns addressed.

🕳️

Acne Scars

Breaks up scar tissue and stimulates new, healthy skin formation.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

New collagen plumps skin and softens the appearance of lines.

🔍

Large Pores

Tightens pore walls for a smoother, more refined appearance.

🎨

Uneven Skin Tone

Improves hyperpigmentation and creates more even coloring.

📉

Stretch Marks

Remodels damaged tissue for improved appearance of stretch marks.

🪨

Rough Texture

Smooths bumpy, uneven skin texture for a refined surface.

😔

Dull Skin

Reveals brighter, more radiant skin beneath the surface.

📉

Skin Laxity

New collagen provides a subtle tightening effect over time.

Why Choose Professional Microneedling

There's a reason dermatologists and med spas have made this a go-to treatment.

🌱

Natural Results

Works with your body's own healing mechanisms—no synthetic fillers or foreign substances. The collagen produced is 100% yours.

🎯

Versatile Treatment

Addresses multiple concerns in one session. Can be used on face, neck, décolletage, hands, and body areas.

Safe for Most Skin Types

Unlike some laser treatments, microneedling is generally safe for all skin tones with lower risk of hyperpigmentation.

⏱️

Minimal Downtime

Most patients experience redness for 24-48 hours. You can return to most activities quickly.

📈

Progressive Improvement

Results continue to improve for months after treatment as new collagen matures and strengthens.

💪

Enhanced Product Absorption

Micro-channels allow serums and growth factors to penetrate deeper for enhanced efficacy.

What to Expect

Before Treatment

Arrive with clean skin, no makeup. We'll apply a topical numbing cream for 20-30 minutes to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

During Treatment

The device passes over your skin creating micro-channels. Most patients feel mild pressure or a light prickling sensation. Treatment takes 30-45 minutes.

Immediately After

Your skin will look red and feel tight. This typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Mild swelling may occur.

Days 2-3

Redness fades to a pink glow. Skin may feel tight or dry. You can typically wear makeup after 24 hours. Stay out of direct sun.

Week 1-2

Skin begins to look refreshed and smoother. Some patients notice immediate improvement in glow and texture.

Weeks 4-6+

This is when the magic happens. New collagen matures and you'll see continued improvement in firmness, scars, and overall quality.

Treatment Series for Best Results

While you'll see improvement after a single treatment, a series delivers the most dramatic, lasting results. We typically recommend:

Single Treatment

Great for a refresh 2 to 3 weeks before an event or to try microneedling for the first time.

Good for: Maintenance, special occasions

6-Treatment Series

Best for significant scarring, deep wrinkles, or comprehensive skin remodeling.

Good for: Acne scars, advanced aging

Treatments are typically spaced 4-6 weeks apart to allow for complete healing and collagen development between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does microneedling hurt?

With topical numbing cream applied beforehand, most patients experience only mild discomfort—a light prickling or vibrating sensation. It's very tolerable.

How long until I see results?

The real results develop over 4-6 weeks as new collagen forms. Results continue improving for several months.

Is microneedling safe for dark skin?

Yes! Unlike some laser treatments, microneedling has a low risk of causing hyperpigmentation, making it a great option for all skin tones.

How is professional microneedling different from at-home devices?

Professional devices use longer needles (0.5-2.5mm vs 0.25mm) that reach deeper layers of skin. This triggers significantly more collagen production than at-home rollers.

Can I combine microneedling with other treatments?

Yes! Microneedling pairs well with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), HydraFacial, and topical treatments. We can discuss combination protocols during your consultation.

How long do results last?

The collagen produced is permanent, but your skin continues to age naturally. Most patients maintain results with 1-2 treatments per year after their initial series.
