Microneedling
Collagen induction therapy that puts your own skin to work. Fine needles open controlled micro-channels that switch on your natural repair, so texture, scars, and fine lines soften over a short series. Serving Naperville and Chicago’s western suburbs.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses a pen of very fine needles to create thousands of tiny channels in the skin. Each one is a controlled micro-injury your body reads as a signal to rebuild, laying down fresh collagen and elastin as it heals.
That renewed support is what softens acne scars, smooths rough texture, and refines the look of large pores over time. We can pair the treatment with boosters like exosomes or PDGF that work into the channels right after, which may help your skin respond more fully.
A session runs about thirty to sixty minutes with numbing cream first, so it stays comfortable. Most people are a little pink for a day or two. Because collagen builds gradually, results come over a series spaced a few weeks apart.
How Microneedling Works
Numb & Prep
We cleanse the skin and apply a numbing cream, so the session stays comfortable from the first pass.
Create Micro-Channels
A pen of very fine needles glides across the skin, opening thousands of controlled micro-channels.
Add a Booster
When it fits your goals, exosomes or PDGF are worked into the fresh channels to support healing.
Rebuild Collagen
Over the following weeks your skin lays down new collagen and elastin, smoothing texture and scars.
What Microneedling Targets
Microneedling is rarely about one thing. It works on a range of surface and structural concerns at once, which is why it has become a go-to for overall skin quality:
Building a plan? Microneedling layers well with a facial or chemical peel, and members save on every visit.
Results vary from person to person and build gradually over a series. Microneedling is a cosmetic treatment, not a medical cure.
Standard, Exosomes, or PDGF
Microneedling on its own does the heavy lifting. Boosters work into the fresh channels to support the healing window.
