Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process prompts your body to ramp up collagen and elastin production – the structural proteins that firm and smooth the skin – resulting in improved texture, elasticity, and a radiant complexion. It’s commonly used on the face but can also be applied to areas like the neck, hands, stretch marks, and acne scars. Sessions typically involve mild numbing, minimal discomfort, and just a few days of redness before revealing healthier-looking skin .

Ideal candidates for microneedling are individuals with generally healthy skin who are looking to address concerns like fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven texture or tone, mild acne scarring, stretch marks, or general loss of skin firmness. It’s safe for most skin types and tones – unlike some resurfacing treatments that risk pigmentation issues – though it’s important to avoid microneedling if you have active skin infections, inflammatory conditions (like eczema or rosacea), or a history of keloid scarring. To determine if microneedling is right for you, we encourage you to schedule a personalized consultation with Isabel at Akari Medspa.
