About microneedling

Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses a device with very fine needles to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. These tiny injuries trigger the skin's natural repair process, prompting it to produce new collagen and elastin over the following weeks.

It is a popular choice for uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, dull skin and the appearance of acne scarring. Because it works with the skin's own response rather than removing layers of skin, it suits most skin types and tones.

We offer microneedling for the face, the face and neck, and the face, neck and décolletage. Our combination treatment pairs microneedling with mesotherapy, dermaplaning and LED light therapy in a single extended session for people who want the most comprehensive approach. Numbing cream is applied before treatment for comfort.

Expect your skin to look red, a little like mild sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours. Some tightness and light flaking can follow. Skin often looks brighter within a week, but the main improvements in texture develop over several weeks as collagen builds. A course of three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, is typically recommended.

Common questions

A numbing cream is applied before treatment, so most people describe a scratching or vibrating sensation rather than pain.
