Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin treatment designed to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. It involves using a device with very fine, sterile needles to create tiny, controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural wound-healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin—the building blocks of healthy, youthful skin.

This treatment can address a range of concerns, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven pigmentation. It can also enhance the absorption of active ingredients, such as serums, applied during or immediately after the procedure.

The process itself is relatively quick, and while some clients may feel slight discomfort, a topical numbing cream is typically applied beforehand to ensure the experience is as comfortable as possible. After the treatment, the skin may appear red and feel slightly tight, similar to mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within 24–48 hours. For optimal results, multiple sessions are often recommended, depending on your specific skin goals.

Post-treatment care is crucial—hydration and SPF are non-negotiable to protect and nourish your skin as it heals.
