Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, producing new collagen and elastin for firmer, smoother, more youthful-looking skin with improved texture.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Combine microneedling with PRP for synergistic benefits. The growth factors in platelet-rich plasma enhance healing and collagen production.

⚠️ Insider Note: Plan your microneedling sessions with recovery time in mind. You'll want 3-5 days before major events or sun exposure due to visible redness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is microneedling painful?

With numbing cream applied for 20-30 minutes beforehand, discomfort is manageable. Most describe it as a prickling sensation, rated 3-5/10 depending on needle depth.

How many sessions do I need?

3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for most concerns. Acne scars may require 6+ sessions. Maintenance every 3-6 months sustains results.

What skin issues does it treat?

Acne scars, wrinkles, large pores, stretch marks, uneven texture, and dullness. It's especially effective for scar improvement through natural collagen remodeling.

How long until I see results?

Initial glow appears within days once redness subsides. True collagen remodeling takes 4-6 weeks after each session. Full results emerge after completing your treatment course.

Can I wear makeup after?

Wait 24-48 hours to let skin heal. Clean, gentle skincare only for the first few days to avoid irritation or infection.

Is it safe for dark skin?

Yes—microneedling is one of the safest anti-aging treatments for darker skin tones. Unlike lasers, it doesn't target melanin, so there's minimal risk of hyperpigmentation.

How does it differ from laser treatments?

Microneedling uses physical micro-injuries; lasers use light energy. Both stimulate collagen but through different mechanisms. Microneedling is generally safer for all skin types.

What about at-home devices?

Professional devices penetrate much deeper (1.5-3mm vs 0.25mm) and produce significantly better results. Home devices can help maintain professional treatment results.
