Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)

What is Microneedling

Microneedling — also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) — uses tiny, controlled needle punctures to trigger the skin's natural healing response. As collagen production slows with age, CIT helps restore the protein that gives skin its structure, firmness, and glow.

Unlike Nano Infusion, microneedling breaks the skin's surface to reach the deeper dermal layer — where lasting collagen remodeling happens. This is what makes it effective for acne scars, deeper lines, and textural concerns that surface treatments alone can't address.

Benefits

  • Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
  • Softens acne scars and post-blemish texture
  • Visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improves uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation
  • Refines pore size and overall skin texture
  • Enhances absorption of hyaluronic acid or stem cell serums

Results build progressively over a series of treatments and continue improving for months.

Perfect for

  • Acne scarring, ice-pick scars, and rolling scars
  • Fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of aging
  • Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores
  • Hyperpigmentation and dull, tired-looking skin
  • Clients ready for deeper, longer-lasting skin renewal
  • Anyone who wants real collagen-building results, not just surface glow

What's included

Every microneedling session starts with a thorough consultation and skin prep, includes numbing cream for comfort, and finishes with a soothing recovery serum. Your esthetician will pair your treatment with either a hyaluronic acid serum for hydration and plumpness, or a stem cell vital serum for advanced repair and regeneration — matched to your skin's goals.

Pricing

  • Basic CIT with Hyaluronic Acid serum — $220 (60 min)
  • Deluxe CIT with Stem Cell Vital serum — $265 (60 min)

Common questions

How often can I get microneedling?
Most clients benefit from a series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart to build collagen progressively. After that, one maintenance session every 3–6 months is usually enough to keep results.
Does it hurt?
It's mildly uncomfortable, but we apply a numbing cream about 20 minutes before your treatment so most clients tolerate it well — often describing it as a light prickling sensation.
How much downtime?
Expect mild redness (like a light sunburn) for about 24 hours, occasionally up to 48. Most clients return to normal activities the next day. Avoid heavy makeup, intense workouts, and direct sun for 24–48 hours.
How is this different from Nano Infusion?
Microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries that trigger deeper collagen response, and it requires 24–48 hours of downtime. Nano Infusion uses silicone tips that don't break the skin — a better fit if you want visible glow with zero recovery. Microneedling is the stronger choice for scarring and deeper lines.
Who should not receive microneedling?
Anyone with active herpes outbreaks, psoriasis or eczema in the treatment area, poor wound healing, active skin infections, keloid scarring history, or blood clotting disorders should avoid CIT. Let us know if you're on Accutane or have had recent chemical peels.
