MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling (aka Collagen Induction Therapy, CIT) is a skin treatment that uses tiny needles to create thousands of micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, which results in collagen and elastin production to improve the skin’s appearance.
FAQ's
What are the benefits of Microneedling?
Microneedling is beneficial for improving various skin conditions, including reducing the appearance of scars (like acne scars and surgical scars), improving skin texture and tone, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, microneedling can help with hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and even enhance the absorption of topical skincare products.

Am I a candidate for this treatment?

Is the treatment painful?
The provider will apply a topical numbing cream to the area to provide an easy, painless experience. You may notice a “vibration” sensation when treating areas like the forehead, chin, or temples.
How many treatments will I need?
For most individuals, a series of 3-6 microneedling treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is recommended to achieve optimal results. However, the number of treatments needed can vary depending on individual skin concerns, the severity of the condition, and individual response to the treatment.
When will I see results?
Patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Results can continue to improve up to 6 months after a treatment as collagen production continues.
