Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that can enhance the skin's texture and appearance. During the treatment, tiny, sterile needles create micro-injuries in the skin, which stimulate the body’s natural collagen production and promote the growth of new tissue. This helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, pigmentation, and stretch marks. Microneedling offers a natural way to achieve firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Microneedling uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These microchannels trigger the body’s healing response, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin—two key proteins responsible for maintaining skin's firmness and elasticity. By stimulating collagen remodeling, microneedling promotes the growth of new, healthier skin cells. This process helps to improve the appearance of fine lines, scars, and other skin imperfections. The microchannels also enhance the absorption of topical treatments, maximizing their effectiveness during the healing process.
During microneedling, a specialized device with tiny, sterile needles is gently guided across your skin, creating micro-injuries in the targeted areas. These controlled punctures stimulate collagen production, encouraging your skin to repair itself naturally. A topical anesthetic may be applied beforehand to ensure your comfort. The treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. You may experience slight redness or mild sensitivity afterward, but this usually subsides within a few days, revealing smoother, rejuvenated skin.
After microneedling, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or sensitivity, similar to a light sunburn. These side effects subside within 24 to 48 hours. Downtime is minimal, allowing you to return to your normal activities quickly. To ensure optimal results, avoid direct sun exposure and use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer. Applying sunscreen is essential as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays during the healing process. You can resume your regular skincare routine once your skin has fully recovered, typically within a few days.
To achieve the best results, it’s recommended to undergo a series of treatments spaced four to six weeks apart. Most patients see noticeable improvements after two sessions, with optimal results typically achieved after three to six treatments. After the initial series, maintenance treatments every six to twelve months can help sustain your results. Regular treatments encourage ongoing collagen production, keeping your skin looking firm and smooth.
