Microneedling

How It Works

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, works by creating controlled, microscopic injuries on the skin's surface using a handheld device with fine needles. These micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin. Collagen provides strength and structure to the skin, while elastin allows it to stretch and bounce back. As the skin repairs itself, new collagen and elastin fibers are formed, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

What It Treats

Professional microneedling is a versatile procedure that can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns and imperfections. It is used to treat acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, large pore size, skin laxity, stretch marks, dull and uneven skin texture, and the signs of aging.

How long does it take to see microneedling results?

Most people begin to see improvements in their skin after a few weeks following initial treatment. It can take up to three to six months to see the full microneedling results. Multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are recommended in order to reap optimal microneedling benefits.

What is the post-procedure care for microneedling?

For one week after microneedling treatment, we recommend avoiding sun exposure, sweating, skincare products with AHA and retinol, and makeup application. This will allow your skin to recover and heal.
