Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a treatment that uses tiny sterilized needles to penetrate the skin. It helps your skin revitalize collagen and elastin production, which helps create tighter, firmer skin. Microneedling can be used for acne, hair loss, dark spots, large pores, scars, stretch marks, and fine lines and wrinkles.  At Northern Medical Center, we use  AQUAGOLD microneedling technology. The 24k pure gold-plated surgical grade microneedles painlessly and effectively deliver vitamins and growth factors straight to where the skin needs it most. We specialize in gentle, effective treatments to restore that natural, youthful glow.

What to expect: Microneedling usually takes 10-20 minutes. We use a numbing cream on your face so you won’t feel the tiny needles. You may experience some redness, swelling, or raised bumps after treatment. You should avoid using retinol and other harsh skin treatments, such as peels, for several days prior to the treatment. Most people need 4-6 microneedling treatments to see a dramatic difference.
