Collagen Induction Therapy: What Microneedling Really Does for Your Skin
If you’ve heard the term collagen induction therapy, you’ve likely also heard it called microneedling.
At its core, this treatment is about one thing: stimulating your skin to rebuild itself.
What Is Collagen — And Why Does It Matter?
Collagen is the structural protein that keeps skin firm, smooth, and resilient.
Starting in our mid-20s, collagen production naturally declines. Over time, that decrease contributes to:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Enlarged pores
Acne scarring
Uneven texture
Skin laxity
Collagen induction therapy works with your body’s natural healing process to support new collagen and elastin formation.
How Microneedling Works
Microneedling uses a medical-grade device with fine, controlled needles to create micro-channels in the skin.
These tiny, precise injuries:
Trigger the body’s wound-healing response
Stimulate fibroblasts (collagen-producing cells)
Encourage new collagen and elastin production
Improve product absorption
The result is gradual improvement in tone, texture, and firmness — without significant downtime.
What Can It Improve?
At MPWR, microneedling is commonly used to address:
Acne scars
Fine lines
Early skin laxity
Enlarged pores
Stretch marks
Overall skin rejuvenation
For enhanced results, treatments can be paired with PRF, growth factors, or customized chemical peel add-ons when appropriate .
What to Expect
Treatment time: about 45–60 minutes
Downtime: mild redness for 24–72 hours
Best results: a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart
Collagen remodeling takes time. Most patients begin seeing visible improvement within several weeks, with continued refinement over 2–3 months.
Why Professional Technique Matters
Collagen induction therapy is not a “one-depth-fits-all” procedure.
Depth, technique, device selection, and adjunct treatments should be customized based on:
Skin type
Concern being treated
Medical history
Desired outcome
At MPWR Aesthetics & Wellness, microneedling protocols are tailored to support safe, gradual, natural-looking skin renewal.
