What Is Microneedling?

   Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy — is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a device with tiny, sterile needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. Don’t worry — these micro-channels are extremely small and controlled, but they trigger a highly effective healing response.

When your skin senses these micro-injuries, it immediately begins to produce new collagen and elastin — the proteins responsible for firmness, elasticity, and smoothness. As your skin repairs itself, texture improves, scars fade, and fine lines soften.

Unlike more invasive procedures or harsh treatments, microneedling works with your skin, not against it.
 

Why Microneedling Works So Well

  Microneedling has become a favorite among patients and skincare professionals for several reasons. It is:

Safe for All Skin Types
Microneedling does not use heat or harsh chemicals, making it safe for a wide range of skin types and tones — including patients who may not be candidates for laser treatments.

Great for Multiple Skin Concerns
This versatile treatment helps improve:
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Enlarged pores
  • Sun damage
  • Uneven texture
  • Mild skin laxity

Patients often describe the results as “refreshed,” “smoother,” and “more youthful.”

Minimal Downtime
Redness can last 24–48 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients return to work or daily activities the next day.

Natural, Gradual Results
Because microneedling stimulates collagen production, improvements continue over several weeks. The results look natural and are tailored to your skin’s healing response.
 

Microneedling With PRP: A Powerful Upgrade

   For patients wanting the most dramatic results, microneedling can be enhanced with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). PRP uses your own blood’s healing components to accelerate tissue repair and collagen formation.

When PRP is applied during microneedling:
  • Skin heals faster
  • Collagen production increases
  • Scars and fine lines diminish more noticeably
  • Skin tone becomes more even and radiant

This combination is often called the “Vampire Facial,” though the science behind it is far more sophisticated than its nickname.
 

What to Expect During a Microneedling Treatment

 

   At Identity Aesthetics, your comfort and safety are always top priorities.

Here’s what a typical visit includes: 

  • Consultation – We review your concerns, medical history, and goals.

  • Topical Numbing – A numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.

  • Microneedling Treatment – The device is passed gently across the skin to create precise micro-channels.

  • Soothing Serum or PRP Application – A specialized serum or PRP is applied to enhance the healing process.

  • Post-Care Instructions – You'll receive guidance on how to protect your skin for the next 24–72 hours.

 

Most patients need a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart for best results.
 

Is Microneedling Right for You?
   Microneedling is an excellent choice for patients who want:

  • Smoother, tighter skin

  • A reduction in scars or fine lines

  • A more even tone and brightness

  • An effective treatment without long downtime

  • A natural collagen-stimulating solution


It is not ideal for individuals with active acne, certain medical conditions, or those taking specific medications. A one-on-one consultation ensures the treatment is safe and appropriate for you.
