COLLAGEN INDUCTION THERAPY

MICRONEEDLING

Collagen Induction is a skin-improvement procedure based on the science of skin injury/repair technique. Collagen Induction causes a controlled damage to the skin that create precise micro-injuries.  Essentially creating channels in your skin. This triggers the healing process, inducing the skin's self-repairing mechanism that creates collagen and elastin, both of which help improve skin texture, tone, and lift.  The micro channels help special serums penetrate deeper into the skin, enhancing their benefits as well.

Collagen Induction creates a younger & fresher you in a 100% natural way.  The skin becomes firmer and regains its elasticity, fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced, pores become finer, circulation is stimulated and the overall condition of the skin improves. 

What is Microneedle?

Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling involves using fine needles to create hundreds of tiny, invisible puncture wounds in the top layer of skin, promoting healing and stimulating the natural production of collagen. The “micro-wounds” in the top layer of your skin are designed to promote your body’s natural healing process, which stimulates the production of new, healthy collagen and cell regeneration.

How Does it Work?

Medical microneedling is used as a method for minimally invasive Percutaneous Collagen Induction (PCI). When the needle penetrates the skin, localized damage and bleeding occurs as a result of fine ruptured blood vessels. PCI results from the body’s natural response to an injury of the skin. Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) is automatically released, triggering an inflammation. This promotes the normal post-traumatic release of further growth factors and fibroblast infiltration, which in turn leads to the production of more collagen, which forms in the upper dermis just below the basal layer of the epidermis, and elastin.

1. The body’s cells and the skin’s own functions are activated through minimal trauma applied to the dermis (top layer of the skin) by a needle cartridge: a.k.a. medical microneedling:

2. Cell growth factors are released

3. Endogenous collagen is synthesized

4. Skin begins to regenerate itself 

Microneedling triggers a controlled healing process that works in three key ways:

Collagen and Elastin Production: The treatment stimulates your skin’s ability to repair damaged tissue by promoting collagen and elastin synthesis.

Improved Blood Flow: Increased circulation delivers oxygen and nutrients to support skin repair and renewal.

Cell Communication: Enhanced cellular activity supports a balanced skin tone and healthy skin structure.

While your skin rejuvenates from within, the outer layer remains intact, making microneedling a minimally invasive procedure with little downtime. When performed by trained professional, microneedling is safe for use throughout the year.

Who Can Benefit From Microneedle?

  • Sun damaged skin

  • Skin with enlarged pores

  • Skin with texture

  • Acne scared skin

  • Skin with hyperpigmentation

  • Skin with fine lines and wrinkles

How Many Sessions do I Need?

You will need 4-6 sessions 4-6 weeks apart to induce the best collagen production.

IN THE TREATMENT ROOM

Rejuran® PDRN Microneedle Treatment The treatment begins with a deep surface cleaning for proper penetration of active ingredients. Followed with the use of Bio Touch Precision® formally known as EXCEED® and Rejuran® PDRN (yes, this is the salmon sperm facial celebrities are talking about— ethically sourced and manufactured in California with patented c-PDRN native to Korea).  Polydeoxyribonucleotide (aka PDRN), amino acids and hyaluronic acid help the repair of damaged skin cells and cellular regeneration to unveil a tighter, lifted, and youthful complexion. A Professional Grade All Natural Sheet Masque drenched in hydrators, peptides and antioxidants is laid on the skin for 10 minutes under the LightStim® Professional LED ProPanel to help deeper absorption of ingredients for a healthy, radiant complexion.

Rejuran® PDRN Microneedle Treatment

With its unique formula and remarkable results, Rejuran PDRN is a game-changer in achieving flawless, youthful skin. Rejuran’s ability to heal and regenerate damaged skin is industry-leading. By stimulating the body’s natural healing process, PDRN, when topically applied, promotes tissue repair, resulting in firmer, healthier-looking skin. Yes, this is the salmon sperm facial celebrities are talking about— ethically sourced and manufactured in California with patented c-PDRN native to Korea. 

PDRN is delivered into the dermis to support the skin’s natural growth factors, promoting cellular turnover and collagen production and improving microcirculation and anti-inflammation. The treatment rehydrates severely dry skin and improves the skin’s natural barrier for more luminous, translucent-looking skin. You’ll experience recovery from the biological condition of both the dermis and epidermis.

What Happens During My Rejuran Treatment?

Rejuran PDRN products will be applied, and the skin barrier will be disrupted via microneedling effectively performing product penetration.

Is Rejuran Right for Me?

Rejuran is not only suitable for older patients who have signs of aging but is also a very good treatment for younger patients who are also looking for a way to slow the signs of aging. Rejuran PDRN is suitable for all skin types, including dry, normal, oily, and sensitive skin. 

*Not everyone is a candidate for microneedle or PDRN please read contraindications before booking.
