Professional microneedling treatments help naturally renew the skin from within. At Icala Medical Aesthetics, Dr. Lilliam Díaz-Vélez and our skilled team use an advanced microneedling device to promote collagen and elastin production. This helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, scars, and uneven texture, revealing healthier, revitalized skin with minimal downtime.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses a group of tiny, ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These microchannels go down to the dermal layer of the skin, where the body generates collagen.
The needles stimulate the body’s natural healing response, triggering fresh collagen formation. This process restores a smoother, firmer, and more even complexion over time without harshly damaging or removing the outer layer of skin. Microneedling is safe for most skin types and tones, making it a versatile option for patients seeking visible improvement in skin quality and resilience.
Skin Concerns Microneedling Can Improve
Microneedling can address a wide spectrum of common skin concerns, including:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and surgical scars
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough skin texture
- Large pores
- Dull or dehydrated skin
- Stretch marks
- Sun damage
- Age spots and other skin discoloration
Because the treatment works by rebuilding your skin’s foundation, results develop gradually and continue to improve over the coming weeks and months.
The Microneedling Treatment Process
Your microneedling session at Icala Medical Aesthetics begins with a consultation to determine your goals and ideal treatment depth. Once your skin is cleansed, a topical numbing agent is applied for comfort. The microneedling device is then gently passed across the skin, creating tiny channels into the skin. Most patients find the process comfortable, but it’s normal to feel some vibrations as your specialist moves the microneedling device over the skin.
Most treatments take about 30–45 minutes. Afterward, your skin may appear flushed or slightly pink—similar to a mild sunburn—for one to two days. Light peeling or dryness may occur as the skin renews, revealing a brighter, smoother surface.
Results and Maintenance
Many patients notice an improved skin glow fairly soon after their treatment, with continued improvement as new collagen forms. It’s important to follow the guidelines Dr. Díaz-Vélez provides post-procedure, including avoiding sunlight and using soothing skincare products as your skin renews itself.
For optimal results, a series of three to five sessions spaced about four weeks apart is typically recommended. We recommend the most efficient treatment plan for you, with the fewest sessions possible for maximum effects.
Many patients schedule maintenance treatments once or twice a year to keep their skin firm, smooth, and radiant.
