Microneedling and how collagen actually works
Honest expectations, sessions, and aftercare.
Microneedling makes hundreds of tiny channels in the skin. Your body reads them as small injuries and lays down fresh collagen to repair them. Over weeks, that firms the skin and softens texture.
What it is good for
Fine lines, acne scarring, large pores, and general crepiness. Results build slowly and last — this is not a treatment for an event next week.
The appointment
We cleanse and numb the skin, then work over the area with the device. It takes about an hour with the numbing. Afterward the skin is flushed, like a sunburn, and calms down over a day or two.
How many
Most people need three to four sessions for lines and more for scarring, spaced four to six weeks apart to give the skin time to rebuild.
Aftercare
No sun for two days, gentle hydrating products only, and SPF 30 every day. If you follow that, you get the most out of each session.
