Collagen, a protein found throughout the body and especially in the skin, breaks down as we age. Collagen is important for maintaining skin elasticity and firmness. While many facial treatments inject collagen and elastin into the skin, microneedling stimulates your body’s natural collagen production. This treatment is also known as collagen induction therapy.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a procedure that can treat several skin conditions:

  • Acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven tone and texture
  • Mild rosacea

Microneedling is performed by using a handheld device to create microscopic injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries force the cells to regenerate and repair themselves and also stimulates collagen production.

A series of 3–4 sessions are recommended to achieve optimum results. Treatments should be scheduled 1 month apart. While patients will start to notice improvements in their skin after just one week, ideal results are visible about 2 months after your last session. We also offer both PRP and TaC Core Recovery Complex by Omni® as add-ons to enhance the outcome of microneedling.
