Simulated Damage & a Natural Healing Response
Those scrapes and bruises from your childhood years healed quickly thanks to an abundant production of collagen—a natural structural protein responsible for skin health, tightness, and texture. Once your skin detects damage, it allocates resources to comprehensively heal that damage. But as we age, our collagen production slows.
Microneedling operates on this same principle. By simulating skin damage with extremely fine microneedles, we’re able to inspire your skin to produce and direct more collagen wherever you need it most. This uptick in collagen can last for months, healing old and new scars, tightening skin, and improving texture wherever you desire.
Collagen does not discriminate between old or new skin damage. It also registers skin laxity (looseness) and blemishes (hyperpigmentation) as forms of skin damage. Because of this, the supercharged collagen microneedling produces can lead to near-comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Microneedling is great for improved tone and texture, faster healing of scars, bouncier skin, and brighter skin. The treatment is minimally invasive and without downtime while delivering quick results. Schedule your appointment today!

Microneedling FAQs
For the majority of patients, microneedling is completely comfortable. Before your microneedling procedure begins, we may apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area for ultimate comfort. Depending on your sensitivity to needles, microneedling may be more or less ideal for you, but for most patients, the treatment comes and goes without notice.
Microneedling treats numerous skin conditions and imperfections in a single sitting. For the best results, patients often return for anywhere from two to six microneedling appointments, but on average, just a few microneedling sessions can help with:
- Acne
- Scars
- Keloids
- Stretchmarks
- Smoker’s lines
- Crow’s feet
- Worry lines (forehead)
- Enlarged pores
Microneedling is commonly used to encourage the healing of new and old acne scars. Without treatment, acne scars may not improve much. But by directing and supercharging your skin’s natural healing response, microneedling can focus your skin’s attention on lingering acne scars for smoother skin in the years ahead.
