Also known as Collagen Induction Therapy. Smooth away acne scars, refine large pores, and restore skin elasticity by harnessing your body's natural healing response through controlled, clinical micro-injuries.
Unlike at-home rollers, our clinical devices allow us to adjust the needle depth dynamically—going deeper on thick acne scars and shallower on delicate areas like the forehead or around the eyes.
The micro-channels act as direct pathways. When paired with hyaluronic acid, peptides, or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), product absorption is increased by up to 3000%.
Our sterile medical environments guarantee safe and highly effective skin rejuvenation.
| Feature | Clinical Micro Needling Device | At-Home Dermaroller |
|---|---|---|
| Needle Entry | Vertical, clean stamps (no skin tearing) | Angled entry and exit (causes microscopic tears) |
| Needle Depth | Adjustable on-the-fly (0.25mm up to 2.5mm) | Fixed depth (usually too shallow for collagen) |
| Sterility | 100% sterile, single-use disposable cartridges | Reused tools harbor dead skin and dangerous bacteria |
| Pain Management | Medical-grade numbing cream applied beforehand | No professional pain management |
| Results | Deep collagen production & scar remodeling | Surface exfoliation with high risk of track-mark scars |
A highly precise, structured protocol to maximize comfort and stimulate rapid healing.
Your skin is thoroughly double-cleansed. A strong topical anesthetic cream is applied for 20 to 30 minutes to ensure you are completely comfortable during the procedure.
We apply a sterile glide medium, typically a high-grade hyaluronic acid or specialized peptides. This provides slip for the device and allows the active ingredients to be pushed deep into the dermis.
The clinical pen is methodically passed over the treatment area. You will feel a light vibration and a very mild scratching sensation. Pinpoint bleeding is a normal and expected biological response.
Immediately post-treatment, the skin is cleansed, and a cooling, hydrating bio-cellulose mask is often applied to instantly lower skin temperature and reduce redness.
You leave with specific instructions on how to protect your newly opened skin barrier. We will schedule your next session, typically 4 to 6 weeks out, to align with your skin's natural cell turnover cycle.
Downtime is minimal, but understanding the post-treatment phases is critical for optimal collagen production.
With the application of our medical-grade numbing cream, the procedure is highly tolerable. Most patients describe it as a light vibration or a mild, scratchy sensation, particularly over bony areas like the forehead or jawline.
For general skin glow and fine lines, 3 sessions are typically recommended. For moderate to severe acne scarring or stretch marks, a series of 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, is required to properly rebuild the collagen floor.
Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling is an advanced version of this treatment. It uses the same needles, but emits heat (radiofrequency energy) directly into the dermis at the needle tips. It provides much stronger skin tightening and lifting effects compared to standard microneedling.
Yes. The micro-channels close within 18 to 24 hours. Once they are closed, you may apply a clean, mineral-based makeup. We strongly advise washing your makeup brushes thoroughly before use to prevent introducing bacteria to the healing skin.
No. In fact, we cannot perform micro needling over active, inflamed acne breakouts. The needles can rupture the pustules and spread the acne bacteria across the rest of your face. Micro needling is designed to treat the *scars* left behind after acne is controlled.
Yes, absolutely. Combining Micro Needling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (often called a "Vampire Facial") accelerates healing drastically and provides an even more powerful boost to collagen production by infusing your own growth factors into the micro-channels.
