Collagen Induction Therapy

Microneedling

Microneedling meticulously penetrates through skin layers. This stimulates collagen production, which improves the skin’s appearance by correcting damage, and smoothing and tightening the skin.

What is microneedling?

This skin treatment is an excellent option for patients of all skin types. Microneedling works by creating micro injuries to the epidermis (outer layer of skin) and dermis (the inner layer of skin). As a result, it encourages the body’s innate ability to repair itself. To emphasize, this treatment stimulates new collagen growth. In addition, it helps correct and prevent fine lines and wrinkles. Further, it improves scars from acne or other injuries. What’s more, it improves skin texture and reduces stretch marks.

Expect

What can I expect?

Microneedling encourages collagen production using our bodies’ wound healing response. This process works in four phases:

  • One: 1-3 days after the treatment the skin experiences inflammation. This stimulates new fibroblasts to develop new collagen.
  • Two: 3-5 days after the treatment new fibroblasts grow and multiply. This generates new collagen and tissue.
  • Three: 5-20 days after the treatment growth factors are released and fibroblasts release collagen.
  • Four: 28 days to 2 years after treatment the maturation stage of new, healthy skin takes place. Tissue continues to improve and the patient notices an improvement in skin tone and quality.
