MICRONEEDLING (Collagen Induction Therapy)

---

Microneedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy, is a safe, minimally invasive treatment that effectively addresses sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks. By creating precise micro-injuries in the skin, this advanced procedure stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, promoting the production of collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

With minimal downtime, results begin immediately and continue to improve over time. The tiny channels created by the microneedles close quickly, kickstarting the regeneration of collagen and elastin fibers, leaving your complexion radiant, rejuvenated, and visibly healthier.

This advanced skin rejuvenation treatment is safe, effective, and suitable for all areas of the body, including the face, neck, and décolletage (the chest area exposed when wearing lower-cut tops). Microneedling offers remarkable benefits for a range of skin concerns, helping to enhance the skin’s overall appearance:

~ Boosts Collagen Production
As we age, our body’s natural collagen production slows, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Starting as early as age 30, we lose about 1% of our collagen each year. By creating microchannels in the skin and stimulating collagen renewal, Collagen Induction Therapy helps reverse this process, leaving you with firmer, more youthful-looking skin.

~ Reduces Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage
Microneedling is highly effective in treating sun damage, including hyperpigmentation and age spots. Years of sun exposure can leave the skin with blotchy, uneven pigmentation. Microneedling stimulates the regeneration of collagen and skin cells, promoting an even skin tone and a rejuvenated appearance.

~ Minimizes Fine Lines & Wrinkles
While fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of aging, they don’t have to be permanent. Microneedling promotes the production of collagen and elastin, which plumps and smooths the skin, minimizing the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, and other wrinkles.

~ Reduces Acne Scars
Acne not only causes physical damage to the skin but can leave behind emotional scars as well. Microneedling is particularly effective in improving the appearance of acne scars, stimulating collagen growth and promoting skin healing to visibly smooth and flatten scarred areas.

~ Shrinks Pore Size
Despite creating tiny punctures in the skin, microneedling helps reduce pore size. The stimulation around the pores encourages the skin to plump and tighten, making pores appear smaller and virtually invisible.

~ Enhances Topical Product Effectiveness
Microneedling creates microchannels in the skin that allow for deeper absorption of anti-aging serums, moisturizers, and topical treatments. This boosts the effectiveness of your skincare routine, allowing products to penetrate deeper into the dermis for enhanced results.

~ Smooths Stretch Marks
Stretch marks and scars can be stubborn, but microneedling offers a powerful solution. Just as it improves acne scars, this treatment can dramatically reduce the appearance of stretch marks, creating smoother skin over time with a series of sessions.

~ A Budget-Friendly Alternative to Laser Treatments
While laser treatments can be highly effective, they can also be costly. Microneedling offers similar results to laser therapies and chemical peels, often with less downtime and at a more accessible price point.

At RENEW Spa, your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities. To ensure a seamless experience, your specialist will apply medical-grade lidocaine to numb the treatment area, significantly reducing any discomfort during your microneedling session.

Utilizing our advanced microneedle device, the treatment is both precise and efficient. Most clients describe the sensation as a gentle, vibrating feeling, often likened to the sensation of a cat’s tongue or a soft, sandpaper-like texture. For clients undergoing deeper treatments, such as scar revision, a slightly heightened level of discomfort may occur, but rest assured, we’re committed to ensuring your experience remains as comfortable as possible.

After your session, you may experience a mild sunburn-like sensation, which typically fades within 24 hours, leaving your skin smooth, rejuvenated, and glowing.

Following your microneedling treatment at RENEW, the healing process begins immediately, with your skin beginning to show subtle improvements within the first few days. In a week or two after treatment, you'll notice a smoother, more radiant complexion as your skin starts to renew and regenerate. Results from microneedling are gradual and cumulative, with visible improvement becoming more evident after each session. As collagen production continues to increase, you can expect to see enhanced texture, firmness, and a more youthful appearance. Optimal results typically emerge over a series of treatments, with each session building on the last to reveal healthier, more rejuvenated skin.
