Collagen Induction Therapy (Microneedling) is an FDA-approved treatment designed to naturally stimulate collagen and elastin production. This minimally invasive procedure is highly effective for addressing:
By encouraging your skin’s natural healing process, microneedling delivers smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin without the need for surgery.
Before the treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort. During the procedure, a device with fine needles creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries, which stimulate the skin’s natural repair process. A series of 3 treatments, spaced a month apart, is recommended for optimal results. Visible improvements often continue for up to six months after the final session.
At Inner Glow AestheticsMD, we work with you to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique goals. This safe, minimally invasive procedure is suitable for all skin types and delivers noticeable results with no downtime. Benefits include:
Collagen Induction Therapy is effective on multiple areas, including the face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back.
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to light sandpaper moving across the skin. Hydrating gel and the speed of the device help minimize discomfort.
Depending on the area being treated, sessions typically last 15-30 minutes.
Mild redness may last 2-4 days, although some patients heal within 24 hours. Using high-quality skincare products can accelerate recovery.
An immediate glow is noticeable after treatment, with visible improvements developing over the following weeks. Collagen production continues to enhance results for up to six months.
While some patients achieve desired results with a single treatment, most benefit from 2-3 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart. For deeper wrinkles, scars, or stretch marks, a series of 6-8 sessions is recommended.
