MICRONEEDLING
Collagen induction therapy for smoother, firmer-looking skin
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a medical-grade device to create controlled micro-channels in the skin at targeted depths. This prompts your skin’s natural repair response, encouraging new collagen and elastin so skin looks smoother, firmer and more even over time.
Those micro-channels also allow select medical-grade skincare to absorb more deeply, which is why microneedling pairs so well with a consistent at-home routine.
What microneedling treats
- Fine lines and wrinkles, including crow’s feet
- Acne scars and surgical scars
- Enlarged pores and rough texture
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Stretch marks
- Mild skin laxity
Best for: Patients who want to improve texture, scarring and overall skin quality with minimal downtime.
Looking for tightening, or a hydrating skin boost?
Microneedling is one of three distinct treatments we offer. Morpheus8 adds radiofrequency energy beneath the surface for deeper tightening and contouring, while AquaGold® micro-infusion delivers a customized skin-booster blend just beneath the surface for glow and hydration.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
When will I see results?
Many patients notice brighter, smoother-looking skin within about a week. Collagen continues to build over the following months, so results improve gradually with each session.
How many treatments will I need?
Most patients see the best results with a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a plan based on your skin and goals during your consultation.
Is microneedling painful?
A topical numbing agent is applied before treatment for your comfort. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or light scratching.
Is there downtime?
Expect redness similar to a mild sunburn for about 1–2 days. Most patients return to normal activities right away. View our pre- and post-treatment instructions.
