Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of fine needles to create tiny, controlled punctures in the skin's surface.

Microneedling is suitable for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation, improvement in skin texture, or reduction in the appearance of certain skin imperfections. A consultation with a qualified provider in our Denver Medspa is essential to determine candidacy.

The tiny needles in the microneedling device create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the body's natural wound healing process, which triggers collagen and elastin production, leading to skin rejuvenation.

Microneedling is commonly used on the face but can also be performed on other body areas, such as the neck, chest, hands, and areas prone to scarring.

Microneedling can improve various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, hair loss, and rosacea are all conditions that microneedling can improve.

Microneedling is generally safe for most skin types but should be performed by a trained professional in our Denver medspa to avoid potential complications. It's essential to consult a qualified provider to assess skin condition and discuss any potential risks.
