Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)
Achieve smoother, healthier skin with microneedling, a transformative treatment that helps repair and rejuvenate your skin naturally. At Injectables by Dr. V, microneedling is delivered with the highest level of expertise and care. Whether you're targeting fine lines, scars, or uneven tone, this collagen induction therapy treatment stimulates your skin’s natural healing process for visible improvement without invasive procedures.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses a device equipped with tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These controlled injuries activate the skin’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—proteins responsible for maintaining skin’s firmness and elasticity. The microchannels created during the treatment also enhance the absorption of skincare products, boosting their effectiveness and contributing to overall skin rejuvenation. Over time, the skin repairs itself, resulting in improved texture, tone, and a more youthful appearance.
This treatment effectively addresses a wide range of skin concerns, including:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars
Stretch marks
Uneven skin tone
Sun damage
Enlarged pores
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and delivers results that enhance your natural appearance with minimal downtime.
Microneedling Benefits
Microneedling is one of the most versatile and effective treatments for improving skin quality and appearance. Key microneedling benefits include:
Smoother texture: Reduces the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Improved elasticity: Stimulates collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin.
Minimized pores: Helps shrink the appearance of large pores, resulting in a refined complexion.
Enhanced skincare absorption: Creates microchannels that allow serums and other skincare products to penetrate more deeply and effectively.
Non-invasive rejuvenation: Offers significant improvement without surgery or extended recovery time.
Customizable treatment: Addresses specific concerns, making it a versatile option for different areas of the face and body.
Does Microneedling Hurt?
Microneedling is designed to be a comfortable procedure. At Injectables by Dr. V, a topical numbing cream is applied before the treatment to minimize any sensation. Most patients describe the experience as mild pressure or a tingling feeling rather than pain. After the procedure, your skin may feel slightly warm or look flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Our precise approach ensures both maximum comfort and excellent outcomes.
Microneedling Results
Microneedling for Acne
Acne scars can leave the skin uneven and textured. Microneedling helps break down scar tissue while encouraging new collagen growth, resulting in smoother, clearer skin. This treatment is particularly effective for addressing pitted acne scars and improving overall skin tone.
Microneedling for Scars
Microneedling is highly effective for reducing the visibility of various types of scars, including those caused by surgery, injuries, or stretch marks. By stimulating healthy skin regeneration, it helps blend the appearance of scars with the surrounding skin for a more uniform texture.
Microneedling for Wrinkles
Fine lines and wrinkles develop as collagen production slows with age. Microneedling revitalizes the skin by boosting collagen and elastin, which smooths wrinkles and restores firmness. It’s an excellent option for those seeking non-surgical solutions to combat signs of aging.
Microneedling Procedure Process
Your microneedling procedure at Injectables by Dr. V begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. V evaluates your skin’s condition and discusses your specific concerns to develop a personalized plan tailored to your needs.
Here’s what to expect:
Preparation: Your skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure maximum comfort.
Microneedling: Using an advanced microneedling device, Dr. V creates precise micro-injuries to target your unique concerns. The treatment area is carefully addressed to ensure even coverage and effective results.
Aftercare: A calming serum or growth factor is applied post-treatment to support healing and enhance results.
The treatment typically lasts 20–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. While minor redness or sensitivity may occur, most patients can resume their usual activities within a day or two.
