SKIN TREATMENTS
Microneedling
Collagen Induction Therapy uses fine needles to create micro-injuries that stimulate the body's natural healing response, improving scars, fine lines, texture, and pore size.
TREATMENT BENEFITS
Key Benefits of Microneedling
Stimulates Collagen & Elastin
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin's natural wound-healing cascade, stimulating significant new collagen and elastin production for firmer, plumper skin.
Safe for All Skin Tones
Unlike ablative lasers, microneedling does not target melanin, making it safe and effective for all Fitzpatrick skin types — including darker complexions prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Versatile & Comprehensive
From fine lines and acne scars to stretch marks, pore size, and overall skin texture — microneedling addresses a broad range of concerns in a single treatment modality.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is microneedling painful?
Topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before the procedure. Most clients experience a mild scratching sensation. Sensitivity varies by area and needle depth used.
How many microneedling sessions are needed?
A series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is standard. Acne scar treatment typically requires 4–6 sessions, while general skin rejuvenation may only need 3.
What is the recovery after microneedling?
Skin appears red (like a mild sunburn) for 24–48 hours. Mild dryness and flaking can follow for a few days. Avoid direct sun exposure and harsh actives for 5–7 days post-treatment.
When will I see microneedling results?
Skin looks more radiant within days as surface healing completes. Collagen remodeling continues for 3–6 months, with progressive improvement visible after each session in your series.
