Microneedling
(Collagen Induction Therapy)
A proven treatment (refined since the 1990s) that creates precise micro-channels in the skin to jump-start your natural collagen and elastin production and improve the absorption of topical serums.
What it helps
How it works
Tiny needles create controlled micro-injuries that signal the skin to repair. As the dermis rebuilds, you’ll see smoother texture, softened lines, and a healthier glow. The micro-channels also allow gels/creams/serums to be absorbed more effectively.
What it feels like
Most describe it as a light sandpaper sensation. Topical numbing can be used for comfort. Sessions are efficient, and there’s minimal downtime.
After your visit
Mild pinkness is common for 24–48 hours (some up to 2–4 days). Improvements develop over the following weeks and can continue for up to 6 months as collagen builds. Use SPF daily; avoid heat/sauna/exfoliants for 24–48 hours; keep skin hydrated.
Treatment plan
Results vary by skin type and goals. Your provider will confirm candidacy and aftercare.
What it helps
- Large pores, fine lines, uneven tone/texture
- Acne scars, traumatic/scar texture, stretch marks
- Diffuse redness and the look of sun damage/hyperpigmentation
