What is Skin Needling?

Skin needling, also known as microneedling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to stimulate the skin's natural healing process. The procedure can help improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and more.

How It Works

Here at Iris Aesthetics, we use a handheld device with fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. The micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural healing response. The skin produces more collagen and elastin, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.

Benefits

  • Can improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, stretch marks, pigmentation, and enlarged pores

  • Can help thicken and tighten the epidermis

  • Can be less expensive than laser treatments

  • May work better for people with darker skin tones

Safety

  • Considered safe for most people in good health

  • May not be safe for people with active acne, moderate to severe psoriasis or eczema, or who use certain acne medications

  • You may experience minor redness and irritation for a few days after the procedure
