Microneedling is a cosmetic modality that allows the skin to create more collagen and elastin for a youthful look. Microneedling is known as collagen induction therapy. It is also very useful for acne, scars and skin discoloration. It is a minimally invasive facial rejuvenation treatment that stimulates the skin’s natural healing process and remodels the skin. It works by creating microtrauma in the skin, which induces the production of collagen and elastin while the absorption of products increases 2000%. The result is a more even skin tone that appears firm and glows.
Microneedling not only treats the skin, but also the underlying issues so the overall health of the skin is addressed.

The number of treatments needed to see results varies based on personal skin goals. Most see results with 3 monthly treatments. Depending on desired results, more treatments might be needed. With these treatments the skin will start increasing the productions of collagen, so results can be dramatic and long lasting. The number of recommended treatments are 1 time per month for 4 to 6 months.
