Microneedling

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that can rejuvenate your skin and address a variety of concerns. This innovative procedure utilizes tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the top layer of your skin.

The controlled micro-injuries triggered by microneedling trigger your body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, the building blocks of healthy, youthful skin. Increased collagen production leads to:

  • Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improved skin texture and tone
  • Minimized pores
  • Faded scars, including acne scars
  • Enhanced skin elasticity

What to Expect During Microneedling Treatment

A microneedling treatment typically takes 30-60 minutes to complete. Here’s a general overview of what to expect:

  • Consultation: During your initial consultation, our experienced professionals will discuss your goals and expectations, assess your skin health, and determine if microneedling is the right treatment for you.
  • Numbing cream: A topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort.
  • Microneedling procedure: The microneedling device will be gently glided across your skin, creating controlled micro-channels.
  • Serum application: Following the microneedling, a hydrating serum or moisturizer will be applied to soothe the skin.
