Microneedling
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother texture, reduced fine lines, and a radiant, rejuvenated complexion – all with little downtime.
Microneedling:
Collagen Induction Therapy for Healthy, Radiant Skin
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that restores skin health by stimulating your body’s natural repair process. Using fine, medical-grade needles, microneedling creates tiny microchannels in the skin. This triggers collagen and elastin production; two vital proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.
This treatment is a safe, effective option for most skin types and tones, offering noticeable improvement without harsh chemicals or lengthy downtime. Over a series of sessions, microneedling helps rejuvenate your skin from within, making it a trusted choice for both preventative care and corrective treatment.
What to Expect before, during, and after your microneedling appointment:
Before your microneedling session, your provider will review your skin concerns and ensure the treatment is right for you. You’ll be advised to avoid certain products like retinol or exfoliants for a few days prior, as well as limit direct sun exposure. Arrive with clean skin free of makeup or heavy skincare products.
During the treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to keep you comfortable. Using a professional microneedling device, your provider will create tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin’s surface. Most clients describe the sensation as a light scratching or tingling. A typical session lasts about 30–45 minutes, depending on the areas treated.
After the procedure, your skin may look and feel similar to a mild sunburn—slightly red, warm, or tight—for 24–48 hours. It’s important to avoid makeup, active skincare ingredients, and direct sun immediately afterward. You’ll be encouraged to use gentle cleansers, soothing serums, and sunscreen. Within a few days, your skin will begin to feel smoother and more radiant, with results continuing to improve as new collagen forms.
