What to Expect with Collagen Induction Therapy (Skin Needling)

What Actually Happens in the Skin

Skin needling works by creating tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin. These aren’t designed to cause trauma but to activate your fibroblast cells—the key players responsible for producing collagen and elastin.

- Fibroblasts are like the builders of the skin. When activated, they start laying down fresh collagen fibres, strengthening and firming the skin’s structure.

- This process helps improve the quality of your existing collagen and stimulates the production of new collagen over time.

The result? Smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin that continues to improve with consistency.

The Benefits of Skin Needling

Skin needling is safe for most skin types and helps with a variety of concerns, including:

✨ Fine lines and wrinkles
✨ Loss of firmness and elasticity
✨ Uneven skin tone
✨ Enlarged pores
✨ Scarring (including acne scarring)
✨ Rough or textured skin

It’s important to note: skin needling does not cause fat loss. Instead, it focuses on improving the skin itself, strengthening the underlying support system.

Why One Treatment Isn’t Enough

Skin needling is not a one-time treatment. Results build gradually with consistency. Think of it like going to the gym—you won’t see full results after one workout. With regular sessions, you give your fibroblast cells repeated stimulation, which leads to stronger, more resilient skin long-term.

Most clients begin to see visible improvements after a few treatments, with results continuing to develop as collagen production increases.

More Isn’t Better: The Truth About Trauma and Blood

You may have seen dramatic videos on social media showing skin needling with excessive bleeding or trauma. While it may look intense, this is actually not the most effective way to perform needling.

Less invasive treatments that respect the skin’s natural response are far more successful. When too much trauma is caused, the skin can become inflamed and hinder the healing process rather than encourage it.

In my treatments, I closely observe the skin’s response, adjusting both the pressure and the number of passes to achieve optimal stimulation without unnecessary damage. This ensures your skin is treated safely, effectively, and comfortably.

The Takeaway

Collagen Induction Therapy is a powerful way to rejuvenate the skin from the inside out by waking up your fibroblast cells and boosting collagen production. It requires consistency, patience, and professional technique to deliver real results.

If you’re ready to commit to healthier, stronger, more youthful skin, skin needling could be the perfect treatment for you.
