Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a versatile treatment loved for its ability to improve skin texture, tone, and overall quality with minimal downtime. At Lumiere Aesthetics, microneedling is performed under the medical direction of Dr. Elena Marchetti, MD, using a professional-grade device. Tiny sterile needles create controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response and stimulating fresh collagen and elastin production.
What to Expect
We start by cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing cream so you stay comfortable. Once the area is numb, we gently glide the microneedling device across your skin, adjusting the needle depth to your concerns and the area being treated. The treatment takes about thirty minutes for the face. Most guests feel only light pressure and vibration. Afterward, your skin will look flushed, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn.
Results
As your skin heals and rebuilds collagen over the following weeks, you will notice smoother texture, refined pores, softened fine lines, and improvement in acne scarring and overall radiance. Because results build with collagen production, a series of three to six treatments spaced about four weeks apart delivers the most dramatic improvement, with results continuing to develop for months.
Good to Know
Downtime is minimal: expect redness for a day or two, much like a light sunburn, along with possible mild flaking. Avoid makeup, active skincare ingredients, and sun exposure for a day or two afterward, and always protect healing skin with sunscreen. Microneedling pairs beautifully with PRP for an added regenerative boost, our Vampire Facial, and complements IPL photofacials or chemical peels for a complete skin-rejuvenation plan.
