How The treatment Works
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also referred to as Collagen Induction Therapy uses tiny needles to treat several skin concerns and is minimally invasive.
Enlarged pores, wrinkles, sagging skin and scars are typical conditions that can have excellent results.
The pinpricks from microneedling trigger your cells to make new collagen-rich tissue. This ultimately will improve the overall appearance and health of your skin.
Microneedling can benefit many skin conditions including:
- Collagen and Elastin stimulation
- Smoother texture
- Skin Tightening
- Wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Scar Reduction
- Enlarged Pores
Microneedling before and after
Although microneedling improves your skin over time, combined with our advanced custom serums, the enhance results can be seen very quickly.
Does Microneedling work?
Yes! Our advanced treatment utilizes a microneedling device that causes minimal trauma to the skin.
Very fine, short needles are stamped into the skin versus most devices use a dragging or circular technique.
By doing multiple passes over each section, it creates thousands of tiny punctures referred to as channels.
Don’t worry though, these tiny needles will not damage your skin. There also is no severe redness.
The magic in our treatments is the outstanding serums we use while microneedling.
We offer two levels of serum glides:
- Our standard treatment includes a Hyaluronic acid as a gliding agent.
- Our advanced treatment serums focus on specific issues such as:
- Skin Tightening and Firming
- Reverse Aging: Exosome with Polynucleotide
- Glow Facial: Bio-Revitalization
- Sundamage Removal / Brightening Serum
- Acne Scars/ Pores/Texture Repair Serum
The ingredients in these advanced serums are cell bio-simulators or exosomes for correction and stimulation from a cellular level. This procedure offers outstanding results.

A series of 4+ sessions is recommended for patients with no prior skin treatments. If you’ve had face rejuvenation treatments in the past, we recommend a maintaining results with a skin booster serum every 3-4 months.
Results are very fast acting and can be noticed days after, but continue to improve over several weeks.
If you’re in the 40+ age group, and have never had any collagen building treatments in the past, we recommend learning about RF Microneedling with one of our advanced serums.
