Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny, sterile needles to puncture the skin’s surface. These controlled micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process—promoting collagen and elastin production, which are key proteins for smooth, firm, and youthful-looking skin.

How Microneedling Works

1. Preparation

   • The skin is cleaned, and a topical numbing cream is applied to reduce discomfort.

   • The procedure can be done manually with a dermaroller or with an automated device (e.g., a microneedling pen).

2. Needling Process

   • Fine needles create microchannels (tiny punctures) in the skin’s epidermis and dermis.

   • These micro-injuries don’t cause lasting damage but trigger the body’s natural wound-healing response.

3. Healing & Regeneration

   • The skin begins producing new collagen and elastin fibers.

   • Over time (typically weeks to months), the treated skin becomes firmer, smoother, and more even-toned.

     Benefits

     Microneedling can improve the appearance of:

     • Fine lines and wrinkles

     • Acne scars or surgical scars

     • Hyperpigmentation and sun damage

     • Enlarged pores

     • Stretch marks

     • Uneven skin tone or texture

     It’s often combined with serums, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or growth factors, which can penetrate more effectively through the microchannels created.

     Aftercare & Considerations

     • Mild redness, swelling, or flaking for 1–3 days is normal.

     • Avoid makeup, sun exposure, and harsh skincare products for 24–48 hours.

     • Results typically appear after several sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart.

Dermaplaning is a non-invasive exfoliation treatment that uses a sterile surgical blade to gently scrape away dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (commonly called peach fuzz) from the surface of the skin.

It’s a quick, painless procedure that leaves the skin smoother, brighter, and better able to absorb skincare products.

How Dermaplaning Works

1. Preparation

   • The skin is cleansed and completely dried.

   • The practitioner holds the skin taut and uses a sterile scalpel (usually a #10 blade) at a 45-degree angle.

2. Exfoliation Process

   • The blade is gently glided across the skin’s surface in short, light strokes.

   • This removes:

     • Dead skin cells from the outermost layer (stratum corneum)

     • Fine facial hair (vellus hair)

     • Minor surface debris and buildup

3. Immediate Results

   • The skin feels smoother and looks more radiant.

   • Skincare products and makeup apply more evenly afterward.

Benefits of Dermaplaning

• Instantly smoother, glowing skin

• Better absorption of serums and moisturizers

• Smoother makeup application

• Gentle improvement in texture and tone

• Can reduce the appearance of superficial acne scars or dullness

Considerations & Aftercare

• It’s safe for most skin types, but people with active acne, rosacea, or open lesions should avoid it.

• Mild redness may occur right after treatment, but there’s no downtime.

• Avoid harsh products (retinol, exfoliants, acids) and sun exposure for 24–48 hours afterward.

• Hair does not grow back thicker or darker—that’s a common myth.

• Typically repeated every 3–4 weeks for maintenance.
