​About Microneedling
Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy — uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels trigger the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, stronger, more radiant skin. Microneedling can also enhance the absorption of specialized serums to further improve skin rejuvenation.
​
Ideal Candidates
Microneedling may be a great option if you are experiencing:
-
Mild to moderate skin laxity
-
Acne scarring or other types of scarring
-
Uneven skin tone or texture
-
Enlarged pores
-
Early signs of aging
Because collagen production takes time, improvements continue to develop over several weeks to months, leaving skin looking naturally refreshed and healthier.
​
What to Expect During Treatment
-
Microneedling treatments are performed in one of our procedure rooms and typically take 30–60 minutes.
-
Before treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to keep you comfortable. The Potenza microneedling device is then passed gently over the treatment area to stimulate collagen production beneath the skin.
-
After treatment, specialized serums or PRP may be applied to enhance results.
-
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure.
​
Recovery and Results
Following treatment, you may experience mild redness or swelling for 24–48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn.
As collagen and elastin rebuild, your skin will gradually become:
-
Smoother
-
Firmer
-
More even in tone and texture
Many patients begin seeing improvements within a few weeks, with continued improvement over 1–3 months.
For best results, most patients benefit from a series of treatments, followed by occasional maintenance sessions.
