Microneedling Collagen Induction
Stimulate your skin's natural collagen production with precision microneedling — reducing scars, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven texture for smoother, firmer skin.
Overview
What is Collagen Induction?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin.
The result is smoother, firmer skin with improved texture, reduced scarring, and a more even complexion. Microneedling is effective for acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and overall skin rejuvenation.
At Mind Body & Soul Medical, we use medical-grade microneedling devices and can enhance treatments with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or growth factor serums for even more dramatic results.

The Process
What to Expect
A consultation to assess your skin concerns and determine the ideal treatment depth and protocol.
Topical numbing cream is applied 30-45 minutes before treatment for maximum comfort.
The microneedling device is passed over the treatment area in multiple directions.
A soothing serum or PRP is applied immediately after treatment to enhance results.
Mild redness and sensitivity for 24-48 hours. Avoid sun exposure and heavy makeup for 24 hours.
Results improve progressively over 4-6 weeks. A series of 3-6 treatments is typically recommended.
Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
For acne scars and significant skin concerns, we typically recommend a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. For general rejuvenation, 3 treatments are usually sufficient.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes! Microneedling pairs beautifully with PRP, growth factors, and vitamin C serums. It can also be combined with chemical peels or neurotoxins for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Is microneedling safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, microneedling is safe for all skin tones. Unlike some laser treatments, it does not carry a risk of hyperpigmentation in darker complexions.
