Microneedling creates microscopic openings in the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer skin. This non-surgical treatment requires minimal downtime.
Book OnlineWhat is Microneedling?
Microneedling addresses a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Mild loss of elasticity
- Acne scars
- Large pores
- Rough or dull skin
Also called percutaneous collagen induction, microneedling promotes collagen and elastin production, essential for youthful, smooth skin.
The Microneedling Process
The procedure uses a handheld, pen-like device with tiny needles arranged in a circular pattern. The depth of penetration is adjustable, making the treatment customizable. As the provider moves the device across the skin, the needles create tiny openings in the epidermis. These micro-injuries trigger a natural healing response without causing tissue damage.
An added benefit is that the microscopic channels allow the skin to better absorb rejuvenating topical treatments, enhancing results.
Recovery
After microneedling, the face may appear flushed and red for 24–72 hours. Avoid applying makeup during this time, as the pores are open and need to remain clear. Mild peeling, dryness, swelling, or bumps may occur for 24–48 hours. Following recommended skincare instructions is important.
Skin will begin to look radiant within a few days, with results continuing to improve over the next several months as new collagen and elastin develop.
