Microneedling: Collagen Induction Therapy
Naturally smooth, tighten, and refresh your skin.
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also called Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that activates your body’s own healing mechanisms to help improve the appearance of scars, acne, and wrinkles.
By using ultra-fine, sterile needles, this treatment creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin that stimulate collagen and elastin production—resulting in a firmer, smoother, and more youthful appearance.
Before and After
The History and Evolution of Microneedling
Microneedling has progressed from simple tools to advanced devices over the years:
- Needle Stamp
- Meotherapy
- Tattoo Gun
- Derma Roller
- Skin Pen (modern microneedling device)
How Microneedling Works
The Microneedling process
- Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses small, sterilized needles to penetrate the skin, creating small superficial wounds. That stimulates collagen and growth factor production.
- The process leads to stronger collagen and elastin, eventually producing smoother, firmed and toned skin
- Microneedling is mostly used on the face and may reduce the appearance of acne, scars, dark spots, wrinkles, and large pores.
What to Expect During a Session
- Step 1: A microneedling pen or device gently glides across your skin, creating microchannels
- Step 2: These tiny punctures trigger a healing response, boosting collagen, elastin, and skin cell turnover
- Step 3: Over time, skin becomes firmer, more radiant, and visibly refined
Sessions typically last 30–45 minutes with minimal downtime. You may need 3–6 treatments for best results, spaced several weeks apart.
Microchannel Duration
Microchannel pores created during Microneedling may stay open to 24 hours
- Avoid strenuous exercise causing sweat and sun exposure for 72 hours post-procedure.
- Follow a non-inflammatory post-procedure skincare regimen for optimal results.
- Be cautious about applying products that are not proven safe for use with microneedling post-procedure, as unexpected complications may occur.
Safety and Efficacy of Microneedling
- Microneedling is minimally invasive, requiring little to no downtime.
- It’s considered safe for most people who are in overall good health.
- The procedure may not be safe for people who use certain acne medications, those with active acne, or those with moderate to severe psoriasis or eczema.
- You can experience minor redness and irritation for a few days after the procedure.
- In rare cases it can lead to skin depression or cellulite formation.
Is Microneedling Safe?
Yes, for most people in good overall health. It's:
- Safe for all skin tones (including deeper complexions)
- Minimally invasive with little to no downtime
- Not recommended if you have active acne, eczema, psoriasis, or are using certain medications
Efficacy
- It’s effective in treating minor scarring related to acne, scars and stretch marks. You may notice brighter, firmer skin, too.
- Ideal results are achieved after multiple sessions but may require a long-term maintenance plan.
- Microneedling is far more effective than at-home rollers.
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling has gained popularity for its growing list of benefits. It is said to rejuvenate and plump the skin with minimal discomfort and downtime, and it can be adjusted to fit each person’s needs.
Microneedling can improve:
- the appearance of scars, including acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles
- the appearance of Hyperpigmentation or dark spots
- uneven skin tone
- skin elasticity
- the appearance of stretch marks
- hair growth in people with alopecia
How long will microneedling results last?
Results from microneedling procedures will typically last for about 4-6 months.
Skin Types That Benefit Most
People with darker skin may prefer microneedling over other modalities like lasers, as it does not negatively affect the skin pigmentation.
What Does Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling is effective for improving:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
- Stretch marks
- Early hair loss and thinning (when paired with PRP)
Post-Microneedling Care
After microneedling, your skin will be more absorbent and sensitive. For best results:
- Avoid sun exposure, sweating, and heavy makeup for 72 hours
- Use only approved, non-irritating skincare products
- Protect your skin with gentle hydration and sunscreen once approved
Enhance Results with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Supercharge your microneedling treatment with your body’s own healing power.
Microneedling + PRP for Skin
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is derived from your own blood and is rich in growth factors. When applied during microneedling, PRP penetrates deeply into microchannels—amplifying collagen production and accelerating healing.
Benefits include:
- Brighter, firmer, smoother skin
- Enhanced improvement in scars, fine lines, and uneven texture
- Shorter recovery time
PRP for Hair Restoration
PRP is also an effective, natural option for hair loss and thinning.
- Injected directly into the scalp, PRP stimulates dormant hair follicles
- Increases blood flow and nutrient delivery to hair roots
- Promotes stronger, thicker hair growth
