Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a revolutionary skincare treatment designed to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate your skin. By using a specialized device with fine needles, this procedure creates micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response. This leads to smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin. Discover how microneedling can enhance your skincare routine and unlock your skin’s full potential.
How Does Microneedling Work?
During a microneedling session, a skilled practitioner uses a microneedling pen or device to create tiny punctures in the outer layer of your skin. These micro-injuries encourage your skin to produce new collagen and elastin—two essential proteins that help maintain skin’s elasticity and firmness. The procedure is minimally invasive, with most patients experiencing only mild discomfort, and requires little to no downtime.
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling? Microneedling offers a range of skin benefits, including:
- Improved Texture:
Reduces the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, and uneven skin texture.
- Enhanced Radiance:
Promotes a natural glow and youthful complexion.

Is Microneedling Safe?
Yes, microneedling is considered a safe procedure when performed by a trained and experienced professional. The treatment is minimally invasive and has a low risk of complications. Post-treatment, you may experience slight redness or swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically subsides within a few days.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
The number of microneedling sessions required depends on your individual skin goals and concerns. Generally, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Your skincare specialist will create a personalized plan tailored to your specific needs.
What Should I Expect After Microneedling?
Post-treatment, your skin may appear slightly red and feel sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal part of the healing process and should resolve within a few days. It’s important to follow your specialist’s aftercare instructions, including avoiding direct sun exposure and using gentle skincare products to support the healing process.

Collagen P.I.N. Microneedling
Frequently Asked Questions about Collagen PIN
What Makes Collagen PIN Unique
Micro-needling rollers represent an earlier generation of needling technology. A significant limitation of these dermal rollers is their fixed needle depth, typically set at 0.5mm. This rigidity is impractical for facial treatments, where varying skin thickness requires different penetration depths. The inability to customize treatment depth is a major drawback. In contrast, Collagen PIN features an adjustable needle depth, enabling your skincare professional to tailor the penetration level throughout the procedure. This flexibility allows for precise treatment of delicate areas such as the lower eyelids, crow’s feet, and forehead, which have thinner skin. Moreover, for regions with thicker tissue, like the upper lip, cheeks (due to fat pads), neck, and décolletage, adjustments can be made seamlessly with just one needle tip, rather than relying on multiple needle rollers.
What to Expect During Your Collagen PIN Treatment
Upon your arrival, your skin will undergo a thorough cleansing, followed by the application of a topical anesthetic for 30-60 minutes before your treatment begins. Once the anesthetic is removed, your skin will be cleansed again to ensure it is free of any residues. A sterile needle-tip with 36 tiny micro-needles will be attached to the Collagen PIN. Your skincare professional will then apply a light layer of topical Hyaluronic serum and determine the ideal treatment depth tailored to your specific needs. In a smooth, single motion, the Collagen PIN will be gently glided across your skin in one direction, covering the entire treatment area. This process creates thousands of microscopic channels throughout the area. The healing process, known as Collagen Induction Therapy, starts almost immediately. Fibroblasts, the cells responsible for producing new collagen, remain active for up to a year following just one Collagen PIN treatment. Depending on your individual needs, additional serums may be incorporated. Your practitioner will carefully choose the right needle depth and number of passes required to effectively address your unique skin health and requirements.
How many treatments will I need?
Typically a series of 3-6 Collagen PIN treatments is recommended, depending upon your area of correction or concern. Your skincare professional will ultimately determine a treatment schedule based on your individual goals and desires. Treatments are usually spaced at 4 week intervals. Patients with deep wrinkles, advanced sun damage, stretch marks, or any type of scars, usually require 6 or more treatments to achieve the desired results.
How long will it take for me to see results?
Most all patients see results after the first Collagen PIN treatment. Individual results vary depending on individual skin health. It is most common to begin to see true changes or positive results as soon as 1-2 weeks after the first treatment. Many patients comment on positive changes in even less time. (Often change is noted within just a few days)
Will the Collagen PIN treatment hurt?
Prior to your treatment with the Collagen P.I.N., the medical provider will apply a topical numbing agent. Most people say they feel almost nothing after having been pretreated with a topical numbing agent. Others have rated the pain as a 2 on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the highest level of pain.
