About Microneedling

Microneedling: Collagen Induction Therapy

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that help maintain the skin’s firmness and elasticity.

How Microneedling Works

The treatment is typically performed with a specialized device that rolls or presses the needles over the skin, offering precise control over the depth and area of treatment. A numbing cream is applied to enhance comfort during the procedure.

Post-Treatment Recovery

After microneedling, the skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. However, this typically subsides within one to two days.

Benefits of Microneedling

The benefits of microneedling extend beyond immediate skin rejuvenation. It enhances the absorption of topical treatments, making serums and moisturizers more effective. With minimal downtime and impressive results, microneedling is an excellent choice for those looking to improve their skin’s texture and appearance.

How it Works

Microneedling is a skin treatment that uses tiny needles to boost collagen, improving texture, reducing wrinkles, scars, and pores for smoother, firmer skin.

Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, thanks to the application of a numbing cream before the treatment. This numbing cream helps minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most people describe the sensation as mild pressure or a slight prickling feeling, but it’s not usually painful. After the treatment, you may experience some redness or a sunburn-like sensation, but this typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Overall, microneedling offers a comfortable and quick solution with minimal downtime.

**Persistent Effects for Up to 6 Months** Microneedling provides long-lasting results, with effects typically lasting up to **6 months**. As collagen production continues to improve over time, you’ll see smoother, firmer skin, reduced wrinkles, and minimized scars. For optimal and sustained results, many clients choose to schedule follow-up treatments every 4 to 6 months. This helps maintain the skin’s youthful appearance and keep collagen production at its peak.

Microneedling is a safe, non-invasive procedure when performed by certified professionals using high-quality, sterile equipment. The treatment doesn’t involve any drugs or injectables, minimizing the risk of side effects. Additionally, any topical serums or products used during the procedure are carefully selected for safety and effectiveness, ensuring a safe experience with certified standards. Always choose a licensed practitioner for peace of mind and optimal results.
