Healthy-looking skin depends in part on collagen and elastin — proteins that provide structure, firmness, and elasticity. As we age, natural collagen production declines, while acne, sun exposure, and other factors can contribute to changes in skin texture and appearance.

During a microneedling treatment, a specialized device containing tiny sterile needles is passed across the treatment area, creating microscopic channels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response, which can encourage new collagen and elastin production.

Microneedling may be used to address concerns such as fine lines, uneven skin texture, enlarged-looking pores, acne scars, and dull or uneven-looking skin.

Treatment plans vary depending on your skin, goals, and the specific device or technique used. While some clients notice their skin looking refreshed after treatment, improvements associated with collagen remodeling generally develop gradually. A series of treatments may be recommended for optimal improvement.

Temporary redness, sensitivity, dryness, or mild swelling can occur following treatment. A consultation with a qualified provider can determine whether microneedling is appropriate for your skin and help establish a personalized treatment plan.
