Collagen is a major building block for our skin, and it plays a vital role in keeping our skin soft, smooth, and firm. As we age, our body produces less collagen, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and other visible signs of aging. Micro-needling is one of the most effective treatments for boosting collagen production, which helps rejuvenate and repair the skin.
So, how does micro-needling work to stimulate collagen production? This treatment uses tiny needles to create small perforations, also known as micro-channels, in the skin. These micro-channels trigger the body’s natural healing process, encouraging the skin to produce new collagen-rich tissue. The result? Firmer, smoother skin with a youthful glow. Not only does micro-needling help with collagen production, but it also enhances the effectiveness of your skincare products. The micro-channels allow active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin layers, giving you even better results!
As we age, our skin often loses its elasticity, resulting in a dull, lifeless appearance. Micro-needling is a great way to combat this issue and restore that glowing, radiant look! The combination of skin stimulation and hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid helps revitalize the skin, leaving it looking dewy, fresh, and luminous.
While micro-needling offers impressive results, it’s important to remember that everyone's skin reacts differently. It’s common to experience some redness after the treatment, but don’t worry—it typically fades within 24-48 hours. This temporary redness is a sign that your skin is working hard to regenerate and heal itself, and it’s part of the rejuvenation process.
Acne scars can be incredibly frustrating, and they often feel like a permanent reminder of previous breakouts. Micro-needling is an effective treatment for improving the appearance of acne scars by stimulating collagen production to repair the skin. But acne scars aren’t the only type of scarring that micro-needling can address—this treatment can also be helpful for post-surgery scars, scars from accidents, and even stretch marks.
Micro-needling helps restructure scar tissue, resulting in less defined edges, smoother texture, and overall improved appearance. While scars may not disappear entirely, micro-needling significantly reduces their visibility, restoring your skin’s natural texture and boosting your confidence.
One of the most exciting benefits of micro-needling is that you can start seeing firmer, smoother skin after just one treatment! For more dramatic results, it typically takes between four and six weeks to fully notice the effects, though it can take up to 12 months for complete collagen remodeling to occur. Your body will need time to produce new collagen and go through cellular turnover, which is what gives you that radiant, youthful skin.
Keep in mind, the number of treatments you’ll need will depend on your skin’s individual requirements. During your complimentary consultation, your aesthetic clinician will assess your skin concerns and recommend a customized treatment plan. In general, most patients benefit from 3-6 treatments spaced at monthly intervals to achieve optimal results.
One of the most common concerns about micro-needling is whether or not it hurts. The good news is that the discomfort is minimal, and many patients compare it to a light sandpaper sensation. However, pain tolerance varies from person to person. If you're worried about discomfort, we offer topical numbing cream to help ensure you’re comfortable during the procedure.
Thanks to our advanced micro-needling device, treatments are fast, efficient, and can target larger areas at once, making the entire process much quicker and more comfortable than you might expect.
Before undergoing any treatment, we always start with a complimentary, in-depth consultation. During this session, your aesthetic clinician will discuss your skin goals, assess your skin’s unique needs, and answer any questions you may have. We want to ensure you feel fully informed and confident before starting your treatment journey.
