Transform your skin’s texture and radiance with microneedling treatments in Cary, NC. This minimally invasive procedure helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone by stimulating collagen production and promoting natural skin healing. Achieve a fresher, more youthful appearance with microneedling.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-surgical skin rejuvenation procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create tiny micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins for maintaining firm, smooth, and youthful skin. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be used to address various concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture. By boosting collagen production, microneedling helps to improve skin tone, reduce the appearance of imperfections, and restore a radiant complexion.

Benefits of Microneedling

Stimulates Collagen Production

Encourages the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, which helps to firm and tighten the skin for a more youthful appearance.

Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Smooths out the skin’s surface, diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and mouth.

Improves Skin Texture

Minimizes the appearance of acne scars, enlarged pores, and rough texture, leaving the skin softer and more even-toned.

Enhances Product Absorption

The microchannels created during microneedling increase the absorption of serums and skincare products, boosting their effectiveness.

Safe for All Skin Types

Suitable for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for a wide range of skin concerns.

Minimal Downtime

The procedure involves little to no downtime, allowing you to resume your daily activities with minimal interruption.

How Does Microneedling Work?

During a microneedling treatment, a specialized device with fine needles is gently rolled or pressed over the skin’s surface. The needles create tiny, controlled micro-injuries, which stimulate the body’s natural healing response. This process boosts collagen and elastin production, promoting skin regeneration and the growth of new, healthy cells. The microchannels created by the needles also enhance the skin’s ability to absorb topical serums, such as hyaluronic acid or growth factors, maximizing their effectiveness. The procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated, and involves minimal discomfort. After the treatment, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually subsides within a day or two, revealing a smoother, firmer complexion.
