Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a skin-rejuvenation technique that triggers your body’s natural healing response. By creating microchannels in the skin, microneedling promotes collagen and elastin production, which are essential for maintaining youthful, firm, and healthy-looking skin.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling uses a device equipped with tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing processes, prompting the production of new collagen and elastin. As your skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more evenly toned.
Benefits Of Microneedling Treatments
Microneedling offers numerous benefits for those looking to improve the health and appearance of their skin:
- Achieve skin rejuvenation without the risks or downtime of surgery
- Reduces roughness, discoloration, and dullness for a more even complexion
- Effectively reduces acne scars, stretch marks, and the appearance of enlarged pores
- Customizable to suit a wide range of skin tones and conditions
- Treatments typically take 30–60 minutes, with little to no recovery time needed

Post-Treatment
Pre-Treatment Consultation
During the initial consultation, our nurse practitioner will carefully examine your skin to understand your concerns, such as fine lines, acne scars, or uneven texture.
This consultation is also an opportunity to ask any questions and address concerns about the procedure, expected results, or aftercare.
Preparing For Treatment
On the day of your treatment, the process starts with a thorough cleansing of your skin to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup, ensuring a sterile treatment area.
To enhance your comfort, a topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area and left to take effect for about 20–30 minutes.
Microneedling Treatment
Using a handheld device equipped with tiny, sterile needles, your provider will make precise, controlled passes over the treatment area. The device creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response.
As your provider works, they may focus on specific areas requiring more attention, such as deeper acne scars or fine lines. The treatment typically lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
After Microneedling Procedure
After the treatment, your provider will apply a soothing serum or gentle moisturizer to calm the skin and promote healing. Your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, and you might experience a warm, tingling sensation immediately after the session.
These effects are temporary and typically subside within 24–48 hours. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided, including avoiding direct sun exposure, applying sunscreen, and using gentle, hydrating skincare products.
