What is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Using a specialized device with tiny needles, microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production for a smoother, firmer, and more youthful complexion.

How Does Microneedling Work?

During microneedling, tiny, sterilized needles are used to create micro-channels in the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, which increases collagen and elastin production. This process helps to improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and skin texture, while enhancing skin elasticity and promoting a radiant glow.

What to Expect During Your Appointment

1. Consultation: We’ll discuss your skincare goals, review your medical history, and customize a microneedling plan that meets your needs.

2. Preparation: The treatment area will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort.

3. Microneedling Procedure: A specialized microneedling device is moved across the treatment area to create tiny micro-channels. The procedure typically takes 20-30 minutes, depending on the area.

4. Post-Treatment Care: You’ll receive aftercare instructions, such as avoiding direct sunlight and using a gentle moisturizer to support healing.

A series of 3-4 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart is generally recommended for optimal results, with improvements visible after each session.
