Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a highly effective non-surgical treatment that uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the skin’s natural healing response and encourages collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Microneedling is suitable for a wide range of skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin texture issues.

At Nelson Medical Aesthetics, I specialize in microneedling treatments that help you achieve rejuvenated and radiant skin with minimal downtime.
Benefits of Microneedling
Microneedling offers a variety of benefits for those looking to improve their skin’s appearance and texture. Some of the key benefits include:
​
Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Microneedling stimulates collagen production, helping to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.
Improves Skin Texture
Microneedling is excellent for improving skin texture, making the skin feel softer, smoother, and more even.
Treats Acne Scars
It can be highly effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars and other types of scarring, promoting a clearer and more even complexion.
​
Tightens & Firms Skin
By encouraging collagen and elastin production, microneedling tightens and firms the skin, improving its elasticity and reducing sagging.
Reduces Hyperpigmentation
Microneedling can help lighten areas of hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone, giving your skin a more even and radiant complexion.
Enhances Product Absorption
Microneedling creates tiny channels in the skin, allowing topical treatments and serums to penetrate deeper, improving their effectiveness.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling works by using a specialized device equipped with fine needles that create micro-punctures in the skin's surface. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural healing process, which promotes the production of collagen and elastin. Over time, this leads to smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.
​
In addition to stimulating collagen, microneedling helps improve the absorption of skincare products, as the tiny channels created during the procedure allow active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin. This enhances the effectiveness of serums and moisturizers applied post-treatment.
What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment
1. Consultation
We’ll begin with a detailed consultation to discuss your skin concerns, goals, and treatment options. Based on your needs, I will customize a microneedling plan to target specific areas for maximum results.
2. Treatment
The microneedling procedure typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the areas being treated. The face is cleansed and the product of choice is applied The device is then used to create controlled micro-punctures in the skin, helping the product to penetrate.
​
3. Minimal Downtime
After the procedure, your skin may appear slightly red, similar to a mild sunburn. This usually subsides within 24-48 hours. There may be mild swelling or tenderness, but these effects are temporary. Most individuals can return to their regular activities on the same day.
​
4. Results
You will start to see noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture and appearance within a few weeks, as collagen production is stimulated. The full results continue to develop over time, with optimal results visible after several treatments. For best results, a series of 3-6 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is recommended.
