How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling Therapy, also called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) and Percutaneous (through the skin) Collagen Induction (PCI), is a minimally-invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of the needle Pen.
The mechanical action of the pen allows the needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled injury at a specific depth. Each puncture creates a wound which triggers the body’s natural healing process, and encourage the growth of collagen and elastic. This process also forms new capillaries for better blood flow to the treated area.
With Microneedling, the top layer of the skin is parted without being damaged, leaving the skin intact. It does not “burn” your skin like chemical peels or more invasive lasers. Your provider can adjust the depth of the needle’s reach depending on the area of the body and the skin condition being treated. Using skin needling consistently will trigger the body’s repair process until the desired level of skin rejuvenation is achieved.

What our clients have to say…
I loved that she doesn’t treat just the face but the whole body. It was a complete treatment – inside and out – the benefit of having acupuncture and facial together – you can’t get that anywhere else! I felt really really happy after the treatment because I was doing something for myself. My whole body felt lighter, and I felt overall more aligned.
Frequently Asked Question
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling therapy, also called Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive skin-rejuvenation procedure that involves the use of the Needle Pen.
The mechanical action of the pen allows the needles to puncture the skin and create a controlled “injury” at a specific depth.
Each puncture creates a channel that triggers the body’s natural healing process to fill these micro wounds by producing new collagen and elastin in the skin. In addition, your body also creates new capillaries for better blood flow.
With microneedling, the top layer of the skin is parted without being damaged, leaving the skin intact.
The needle penetration depth can be adjusted from 0.25mm to 2.50mm into the skin depending on the area of the body and the skin condition being treated. Using skin needling consistently will trigger the bodies repair process until the desired level of skin rejuvenation is achieved.
The treatment is ideal for addressing common skin concerns such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Stretch marks
- Hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores
- Dull, tired skin
What are the benefits?
Microneedling results improvement in skin tone and texture, firmness, as well as reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks. It takes years off your appearance for a youthful glow. It is also used to support a healthy scalp and hair growth for men and women experiencing thinning hair or hair loss.
Does microneedling hurt?
Microneedling does not “burn” your skin like chemical peels or more invasive lasers. Most people report a mild to moderate prickling sensation. Topical Lidocaine may be applied to minimize sensitivity.
Is microneedling safe?
Microneedling is a very safe procedure when performed by a qualified licensed clinician using top of the line equipment and cleanliness measures.
How effective is this treatment?
Clinical evaluation of patients shows statistically significant overall improvement of acne scars, skin texture, and patient satisfaction in response to skin microneedling treatment.
Skin microneedling therapy shows a favorable effect on enhancing collagen formation, increase of epidermal thickening and newly synthesized tropoelastin, the precursor to elastin. The statistically significant increase occurs three months after starting treatment. It also shows regeneration of hair follicles and increased volume in cases of hair loss or thinning hair.
Why do you like this form of therapy?
Microneedling helps people achieve significant and lasting results, naturally and without the use of harsh chemicals. The treatment itself is only about 20 minutes, the down-time is brief, and most patients don’t require special precautions after the first day.
What should I expect a session to be like?
Most sessions take 60-90 minutes to complete. As these sessions may be combined with a whole-body acupuncture treatment, we will address your aesthetic as well as systemic needs during the intake process to inform the best possible custom treatment for you. You will rest comfortably on a treatment table, supported by pillows and a therapeutic biomat. Essential oils may be used to support your relaxation and re-balancing of your physical and emotional body. If receiving acupuncture, you will receive the treatment and rest with the points while the microneedling is performed. At the end, you will rest with a cooling mask and be given a serum to take home to continue your rejuvenation.
How many treatments are needed to see a result? How long does it last?
Clinical studies show that 4-6 treatments performed approximately 1 month apart yield optimal results that can last upwards of 5 years without maintenance. This may be repeated if desired.
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear loose-fitting, comfortable clothing. Come as you are!
What else should I know about Microneedling?
Microneedling may be used on any part of the body. The skin is generally red immediately following the treatment. You can wash the treated area and resume regular skin-care/makeup regiment the next day. Within about 1 week of treatment collagen production begins to peak and beautiful results are revealed. Maintenance treatments can be done regularly as desired.
