How The treatment Works
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling, also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy treats several skin concerns and is minimally invasive.
The pinpricks from microneedling trigger your cells to make new collagen-rich tissue. This ultimately will improve the overall appearance and health of your skin.
Benefits of microneedling include:
- Collagen and Elastin stimulation
- Smoother texture
- Renewed firmness
- Softening of wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Reduction in scars and pore size.
The goal of this treatment is to send signals to your skin to re-build collagen and elastin levels.
How does Microneedling work?
The simplest way to say it is that microneedling involves the insertion of very fine, short needles into the skin.
By doing multiple passes over each section, it creates thousands of tiny punctures referred to as channels.
Don’t worry though, these tiny needles will not damage your skin.
A serum glide is used while microneedling.
We offer two levels of serum glides:
- Our standard treatment includes Hyaluronic acid as a gliding agent.
- Our advanced treatment includes advanced serums that are more potent and can focus on problematic issues such as sun damage, skin firming, radiant skin or hydration.
The ingredients in these advanced serums are cell bio-simulators or exosomes for correction and stimulation.
A series of 4-6 sessions are recommended. After several weeks, you will begin to see gradual results.
And, your skin will continue to improve as the collagen rebuilds.
If you’re in the 40+ age group, we recommend learning about RF Microneedling.
RF Microneedling adds radiofrequency energy under this skin. This is a more powerful treatment for skin tightening and collagen remodeling.

It will brilliantly boost your ability to produce more skin-firming collagen.
What areas can be treated with Microneedling?
The most requested area for microneedling is on the face.
It can also be used on other parts of the body to improve stretch marks, wrinkles, and scarring.
The most common areas to have Microneedling treatments include:

Why Should I Consider Microneedling?
The fact is, Microneedling improves the look of your skin. This all-in-one solution can address many issues.
Problems with uneven skin tone, rough texture, fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars are all improved.
The best candidates are men or women of almost any age who are concerned with the appearance of their skin.
It is safe for all skin types.
What to expect after a Collagen Induction Session
After your treatment, your skin will be slightly pink and puffy for up to 24 hours. It is also common to feel a tightness and/or some tenderness to the treated area the following day. This is a normal reaction.
Approximately, 2-3 days after the treatment, you may experience some dryness and light flaking.
We strongly recommend a medical grade peptide growth factor to boost skin rejuvenation and repair.
Is Microneedling painful?
A topical numbing cream is applied to the skin in order to maximize comfort during your treatment.
Therefore, microneedling is not super painful.
How long do results last?
Results can last for six months after your last treatment.
We recommend starting with 4 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Keep your skin young looking – and step out with confidence.
