Stimulate collagen. Smooth texture. Reveal healthier skin.
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates your body’s natural healing response—boosting collagen and elastin production to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall tone.
What is microneedling & what can it treat?
Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy) works below the skin surface to activate natural regeneration. As the skin heals, it becomes smoother, firmer, and more even. This treatment is safe for most skin types and can be used on the face, neck, décolletage, and other areas. Microneedling can be enhanced with topical serums or Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to accelerate results and improve skin recovery. Microneedling can help address:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Enlarged pores
Acne scars and uneven texture
Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Stretch marks
Dull, tired-looking skin
Why choose microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy)?
This treatment is ideal for clients seeking natural skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. It delivers real improvements in texture and firmness without lasers, chemicals, or surgery.
Stimulates your skin’s natural repair process
Micro-injuries trigger collagen and elastin production, improving tone, texture, and elasticity from within.
Improves scars & skin texture
It’s an effective, non-invasive option for reducing acne scars, large pores, and rough texture.
Customizable and safe
We adjust needle depth based on your skin’s needs. Microneedling is suitable for all skin tones and types.
Minimal downtime
Most clients experience redness similar to a light sunburn for 1–2 days. Results build with each session.
What to expect during your microneedling session?
In every session, your safety, comfort, and personalized results are our top priorities. We start with a thorough consultation to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. Our licensed physicians use precise techniques to ensure comfort, helping you achieve the beautiful, natural-looking results you desire.
Consultation & skin prep
We assess your skin, discuss goals, and determine the best approach. A numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort.
Microneedling procedure
A medical-grade microneedling device is used to create precise micro-injuries across the treatment area. The session typically takes 30–45 minutes.
Recovery & aftercare
Post-treatment, you may experience redness, mild swelling, or dryness. Most of this fades within 24–48 hours. You’ll receive aftercare instructions to support healing and maximize results.
Precautions before & after for microneedling treatment
Always follow the specific instructions from your healthcare provider. This is a general guide for precautions to take before and after a treatment.
Female patients should avoid microneedling treatment during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and menstruation for safety.
Please inform us in advance if you are currently on any blood-thinning medications.
If you have a history of allergies to local anesthetics, please inform us to ensure your safety and adjust the treatment.
Please stop using substances and supplements that promote blood circulation, like ginseng, Notoginseng (San Qi), fish oil, and Vitamin E, one week before your treatment.
Please avoid washing your face and hair for the first 24 hours. Use the cotton balls provided by our clinic for gentle cleaning and apply the repair cream we offer.
We encourage applying a LUXIN facial mask daily for 5 to 7 days.
For the first week, please refrain from eating spicy and stimulating foods, drinking alcohol, and getting facial massages. Also, please avoid intense physical activities, swimming, and sauna sessions.
Please do not use products with retinol, glycolic acid, or salicylic acid for a week after treatment.
Keep the treated area moisturized and protect it from the sun. For the first 48 hours, avoid sunscreen and use physical sun protection methods like hats or face masks.
