In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) triggers the skin's wound healing response, resulting in increased collagen production, improved skin texture, reduced acne scars, minimized pore size, and reduced fine lines. The procedure uses a motorized pen device (SkinPen, Morpheus8, or similar) with adjustable needle depth (0.5-3mm). Treatment takes 30-45 minutes after topical numbing. Skin appears red (like a sunburn) for 24-48 hours. A series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typical, with maintenance every 6-12 months. Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) provides enhanced regenerative results. Radiofrequency microneedling (Morpheus8, Genius) adds thermal energy for deeper collagen remodeling.
