Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation procedure that helps to plump, tighten, and thicken the skin, minimizing the appearance of scars, fine lines, and texture. It works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate the body's natural wound healing process. These micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to remodeling of scar tissue. It is also referred to as a non-ablative skin treatment. This means that the deeper parts of the skin are treated without removing the top layer of skin. Microneedling can be used to treat acne and surgical scars—including keloids— as well as wrinkles, stretch marks, pore size, uneven pigmentation, and loss of elasticity.
The CosmoPen is a medical-grade high speed microneedling system and the only FDA approved device designed to perform a cosmetic procedure that utilizes the technology of automatic skin micro punctures using sterile needles contained in a disposable end. What sets it apart from the rest, is it creates the most microchannels per second on the market, making it 20% faster than most first generation devices. With customizable treatment options, needle depth and speed settings can be adjusted to address specific skin concerns and can even be combined with other treatments to maximize the benefits. Microneedling is suitable for all skin types, all year-round, with minimal discomfort and downtime. Significant improvements can be noticed after just one session, although a series of 4 or more treatments spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended for optimal results.

When Microneedling meets a chemical peel, what you get is an amplified rejuvenation process, where the combined actions of both treatments synergize to offer a superior skin transformation experience. A chemical peel will exfoliate the outermost layer of skin, promoting cell turnover, while microneedling will remodel skin at a cellular level by stimulating collagen and elastin. The combination of collagen stimulation from the microneedling and the epidermal resurfacing benefits of the chemical peel will give you quick and noticeable results, with continued improvement over time, ensuring long-term benefits.

Microneedling benefits all skin types but is especially effective for those seeking a firmer complexion. Individuals concerned about wrinkles, fine lines, scars, and overall skin texture are good candidates. Skin types of all shades can benefit from it.
Usually you will notice some improvement just days after the the first treatment. More significant results will occur after 4 to 8 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart. Collagen remodeling takes place over time. Skin will continue to improve over the next 6 to 12 months with proper skin care regimen. Results will vary in each patient.
The results are long-lasting, especially with a series of treatments. Many see improvements for up to six months or longer.
Microneedling has minimal downtime. You may experience slight redness and sensitivity right after the treatment, but this usually subsides within 1-3 days. Some patients may experience mild peeling or flaking as the skin continues to fully heal.
Microneedling is an aesthetic medical procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, disposable sterile needles in order to induce endogenous production of cutaneous collagen. Numbing cream is optional for this treatment. If using topical numbing cream to reduce discomfort, it will be applied to the treated area for approximately 20 minutes and be removed prior to treatment. During the procedure, you might feel warmth or a scratching sensation. A deeper treatment may cause some pin point bleeding. The procedure is generally well-tolerated and lasts about 15 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
