Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)

Boost collagen, smooth scars, and reveal glowing skin - naturally.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create tiny micro-channels in the skin. This activates your body’s natural healing response - boosting collagen, elastin, and cell renewal.

The result? Fresher, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

For next-level results, microneedling is often combined with medical serums, PRP (Vampire Facial), or polynucleotides.

What Can Microneedling Treat?

- Fine lines & wrinkles

- Acne scars & post-acne marks

- Large pores

- Stretch marks

- Pigmentation & melasma

Microneedling is ideal if you:

- Want natural collagen stimulation without fillers

- Have skin that’s lost elasticity or glow

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it hurt?

A numbing cream is applied. Most clients describe it as mild scratching or pinching, easily manageable.

Is there any downtime?

You may experience mild redness, dryness, or flaking for 1–3 days. Most clients are glowing within a week.

When will I see results?

Some notice a glow in a few days. Collagen remodeling shows best at 4–6 weeks and keeps improving.

Can I wear makeup after?

Not right away. Avoid makeup for at least 24–48 hours to let your skin heal and breathe. After that, stick to mineral-based, non-comedogenic products for a few days.

Is microneedling safe for all skin types?

Yes. Microneedling is safe for all skin tones, even darker ones, as it doesn’t use heat like lasers.

What’s the difference between microneedling and dermarolling?

Professional microneedling is deeper, more precise, and safer than at-home rollers - no risk of tearing or uneven punctures.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely! Microneedling pairs beautifully with:

PRP (Vampire Facial) – collagen & healing boost

Polynucleotides – deep hydration & regeneration

Mesotherapy – infusion of vitamins, peptides, hyaluronic acid

LED therapy – speeds up healing

Is there a risk of infection?

Very low, when done in a sterile clinic environment. Aftercare is key: keep skin clean, avoid touching, and no sweating or makeup for 24 hrs.
