Microneedling—also called collagen induction therapy—is a minimally invasive treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing response to enhance skin rejuvenation. This procedure involves the use of a specialized device equipped with fine, sterile needles that create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the body’s repair process, leading to increased blood flow, the formation of new tissue, and a surge in collagen and elastin production—two essential proteins responsible for skin strength, firmness, and elasticity.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

By promoting natural skin regeneration, microneedling can provide a variety of aesthetic and dermatological benefits, including:

Reduction in Acne Scars & Other Scarring: By breaking down old scar tissue and stimulating collagen remodeling, microneedling can improve the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks.
Smoother Skin Texture & Tone: The treatment helps refine rough or uneven skin texture and enhances overall skin radiance.
Diminished Fine Lines & Wrinkles: The increase in collagen production helps plump the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of aging.
Minimized Pore Size: Microneedling can tighten the skin, which may make pores appear smaller and less noticeable.
Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products: The micro-channels created during treatment allow topical serums, hydrating agents, and anti-aging products to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.

What Can I Expect During & After Microneedling Treatment?

A typical microneedling session lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. A numbing cream is usually applied beforehand to enhance comfort. After the procedure, the skin may appear slightly red or feel sensitive—similar to a mild sunburn—but these effects typically subside within a day or two. Over the following weeks, as collagen production continues, the skin gradually becomes firmer, smoother, and more refreshed.

For optimal results, most individuals benefit from a series of treatments, usually spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Microneedling can also be combined with other aesthetic services to enhance its regenerative effects.
