MicroNeedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment with a quick recovery time. It promotes natural collagen reproduction, similar to fractional laser treatments, IPL, and laser resurfacing, but without the side effects and downtime. This is a unique way to address and improve the appearance of:

• Fine lines & wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Smokers lines around the lips
• Skin tightening and rejuvenation
• Large pores
• Hyperpigmentation (dark spots)
• Skin texture
• Stretch marks
• Scars (surgical and burns)

The goal in any facial rejuvenation treatment is to make the fibroblasts in the skin produce more collagen. Collagen provides the scaffolding and support (volume and lift) for your skin. The use of cosmeceutical skin care products will help to build some collagen, but only about 10 percent of a cream can be absorbed by intact skin. Remember, your skin is the barrier between you and the outside environment. By creating micro-channels with a MicroNeedling pen or derma roller, this boosts the absorption of serums and creams by 80%. These tiny channels also stimulate the healing response in your skin. What is healing? the production of new, fresh collagen.

There is no risk of post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation (darkened pigmentation of the skin as a result of skin trauma) as the melanocyte cells and dermal layer of skin remain intact during treatment. This is the major distinguishing safety feature when comparing MicroNeedling and other invasive procedures that are used to treat deep lines and depressed scars, including laser resurfacing, deep medical-level chemical peels and dermabrasion — all of which ablate the skin, making it thinner and progressively more prone to wrinkling.
