Rejuvenate Your Skin with Collagen Induction Therapy

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that’s designed to improve skin texture and tone through stimulating collagen production. Also known as collagen induction therapy, this treatment helps reduce the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, and other skin imperfections. It is also commonly used in anti-aging treatments, such as minimizing fine lines and addressing sun damage.
If you’re in good health and have not seen results from other dermatologic treatments like chemical peels, microneedling could be an excellent option for you. Since this is considered a cosmetic procedure, it is typically not covered by insurance.

How Microneedling Works

Microneedling encourages your skin to produce more collagen in response to controlled micro-injuries. The tiny pinpricks from the procedure trigger your body’s natural healing response to promote the formation of new, collagen-rich skin cells. As a result, your skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in texture.

Eclipse MicroPen Technology

We use the Eclipse MicroPen, an advanced microneedling device, to ensure precise and effective treatment. The technology has been featured on The Doctors for its ability to deliver professional-grade results with minimal downtime.

Microneedling Procedure

During the session, a pen-like device creates tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries are so small that they are typically not even visible after the procedure. The device is moved evenly across your skin for consistent rejuvenation.
Before starting, a topical anesthetic is applied about an hour before treatment to maximize comfort. The procedure itself lasts approximately 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
 
Microneedling is commonly performed on the face to address:
  • Acne scars
  • Age spots & sunspots
  • Fine lines & wrinkles
  • Large pores
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Reduced skin elasticity
  • Other types of scars
It’s also often used to treat stretch marks in areas such as the thighs and abdomen, especially when combined with complementary treatments like fillers.
 

Potential Side Effects & Safety

Microneedling is generally safe, but some patients may experience mild skin irritation immediately after treatment. Temporary redness and sensitivity are normal and should subside within a few days.
 
However, you should contact us if you experience any of the following rare side effects:
  • Excessive bleeding or bruising
  • Signs of infection
  • Severe peeling or prolonged irritation
You may not be a suitable candidate for microneedling if you:
  • Are pregnant
  • Have certain skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis
  • Have open wounds or active skin infections
  • Have undergone recent radiation therapy
  • Have a history of keloid scars

Aftercare: What to Expect

Unlike invasive cosmetic procedures, microneedling requires minimal downtime. Most people can resume daily activities immediately after treatment. However, mild redness and sensitivity are expected within the first few days due to the skin’s natural healing process.
Sun protection is key

Your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure, so apply sunscreen regularly.

Makeup use

You may return to work or school after treatment, and makeup can be used to conceal redness if needed.

Visible results

Skin regeneration occurs rapidly, with noticeable improvements appearing within a few weeks.

Maintenance treatments
Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results. Your provider will customize a treatment plan based on your skincare goals.

Preparing for Your Microneedling Treatment

To optimize your results, consult with your provider about pre-treatment guidelines. You may be advised to:
  • Stop taking certain medications (such as ibuprofen and acne treatments) before the procedure.
  • Discontinue topical retinoids before treatment to minimize the risk of side effects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Are there any type of side effects?
Like all cosmetic treatments, microneedling isn’t without risk. One of the most common negative effects is minor skin irritation immediately following the procedure. You may also see inflammation for a few days. Call us if you observe extreme adverse effects, such as:
 
  • bleeding
  • bruising
  • infection
  • peeling
Microneedling isn’t intrusive like plastic surgery, so the healing time is minimal. The majority of people need very little downtime if any at all. You might notice skin inflammation and redness within the first few days after the procedure. This is a natural response to the tiny “injuries” made by the needles in your skin. You can go back to work or school after the treatment if you’re comfortable. Some people apply concealing make-up throughout the first few days as the redness dissipates. Your skin will also be more sensitive to the sun, so sunscreen is mandatory.
 
After microneedling, your skin works rather promptly to rejuvenate new tissue. Generally, you will see results within a few weeks. To maintain the results of your treatment, you might require multiple sessions as well as other complementing treatments. We will recommend the best plan of action based upon your individual goals.
