Collagen Induction Therapy
Renew texture. Rebuild skin quality.
A personalized collagen-stimulating treatment designed to support smoother texture, soften the appearance of acne scarring and improve visible firmness and overall skin quality over time.
Microneedling works through controlled skin renewal. Improvement develops gradually and is commonly approached as a treatment series rather than a one-time correction.

Series-Based RenewalThe Treatment
Controlled renewal. Gradual visible refinement.
Microneedling creates controlled microchannels within the skin. This initiates a natural repair response that supports collagen production and ongoing skin remodelling.
Needle depth, treatment area and intensity are selected around your concern, skin condition, previous treatments and ability to tolerate recovery.
Prepare
Cleanse & Numb
The treatment area is prepared and topical numbing is applied to improve comfort before the procedure begins.
Renew
Create Controlled Microchannels
A professional microneedling device is passed across the selected area using settings tailored to the concern.
Rebuild
Allow the Skin to Remodel
The skin begins its repair response, with visible improvement developing progressively between treatments.
What It May Address
Designed for concerns within the skin itself.
Microneedling may be considered when texture, scarring or changing skin quality is more important than surface-level hydration alone.
Texture
Acne Scarring
May soften the appearance of selected depressed acne scars and support a more even-looking surface over a treatment series.
Refinement
Pores & Uneven Texture
May improve the appearance of roughness, visible pores and irregular skin texture through gradual collagen remodelling.
Rejuvenation
Fine Lines & Firmness
May support smoother-looking fine lines, elasticity and overall skin quality as collagen develops over time.
Treatment Options
Choose the area. Personalize the pathway.
Treatment may focus on the face alone or extend through the neck for a more complete rejuvenation plan.
Microneedling may also be sequenced with Hydrafacial when both skin preparation and deeper corrective renewal are part of the goal.

What to Expect
A brief recovery. A gradual result.
Microneedling is a process. The initial visible recovery occurs first, while collagen remodelling continues beneath the surface over the following weeks.
During Treatment
- Skin is cleansed and prepared
- Topical numbing is applied
- Depth is adjusted by treatment area
- Comfort is checked throughout
Early Recovery
- Redness and warmth may occur
- The skin may feel tight or sensitive
- Mild dryness or flaking may develop
- Gentle aftercare is especially important
Results
- Skin may look refreshed after recovery
- Collagen development is gradual
- Progress builds across a treatment series
- Maintenance depends on the concern
Supporting Recovery
What happens afterwards matters too.
Your provider will give you treatment-specific instructions. These general principles help illustrate the kind of recovery support microneedling requires.
Keep Care Gentle
Use the post-treatment routine recommended by your provider and avoid introducing unnecessary irritation while the skin feels sensitive.
Pause Active Products
Retinoids, exfoliating acids and other active products may need to remain paused until the skin has recovered and your provider advises restarting them.
Protect From Sun Exposure
Consistent sun protection is important while the skin is healing and throughout the broader treatment series.
Follow Your Treatment Timeline
Allow the skin appropriate recovery time before the next session or before introducing another corrective procedure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Before your microneedling treatment.
01
What is microneedling?
Microneedling uses a professional device containing fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the skin. This initiates a repair response that supports collagen production and progressive skin remodelling.
02
Does microneedling hurt?
Topical numbing is applied before treatment. Sensation varies by area and treatment depth, but most clients describe pressure, vibration or a scratching sensation rather than sharp pain.
03
How long does the appointment take?
Face appointments are approximately 90 minutes and Face & Neck appointments approximately 100 minutes. This includes preparation and topical numbing time.
04
What is the downtime?
Redness, warmth, tightness, tenderness, dryness or mild flaking may occur after treatment. The visible recovery period varies with treatment intensity and individual skin response.
05
How many treatments will I need?
The recommended number depends on the concern, its depth and your response. Texture and scarring concerns are commonly approached through a structured series rather than a single appointment.
06
When will I see results?
The skin may appear fresher after the initial recovery, but collagen development and scar remodelling occur gradually. Progress is evaluated over several weeks and across the treatment series.
07
Can microneedling treat active acne?
Microneedling is generally positioned for residual scarring and texture rather than active inflamed breakouts. Active acne may need to be controlled before corrective scar treatment begins.
08
Who may not be suitable for treatment?
Suitability depends on current skin health, active irritation or infection, healing history, medication, pregnancy status and other individual factors. Consultation is required before treatment.
