Microneedling
Generate
new collagen
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure offered at our Boise medspa that uses very fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production—the proteins responsible for firm, smooth, youthful-looking skin.
Benefits of Microneedling
1. Improves Skin Texture and Tone
- Smooths rough or uneven skin
- Reduces large pores
- Helps create a more radiant complexion
2. Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
- Collagen stimulation plumps and tightens the skin
- Helps soften early signs of aging
3. Treats Acne Scars and Other Scarring
- Particularly effective on depressed (atrophic) acne scars
- Can also improve surgical or injury scars over time
4. Helps Fade Hyperpigmentation and Sun Damage
- Evens skin tone
- Useful for melasma and dark spots (often combined with other treatments)
5. Enhances Product Absorption
- Tiny channels allow serums (like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, peptides) to penetrate more deeply
6. Improves Skin Firmness
- Tightens mildly sagging skin
- Can improve crepey texture
7. Minimal Downtime
- Redness for 1–3 days
- Far less recovery time than more aggressive resurfacing treatments
