OVERVIEW
UNDERSTANDING THE TREATMENT
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries are precise and superficial, and they prompt the body's natural wound-healing response.
As the skin repairs itself, it produces new collagen and elastin — the structural proteins responsible for firmness and smoothness. The treatment is commonly considered for fine lines, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and certain types of scarring.
At Align & Focus Wellness, every microneedling plan begins with a clinical skin assessment so the depth and frequency of treatment are matched to your skin type and goals.
HOW IT WORKS
A CLEAR, STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS
01
CONSULTATION & SKIN ANALYSIS
A licensed provider evaluates your skin, medical history, and goals to confirm suitability.
02
PREPARATION
The treatment area is cleansed and a topical numbing agent is applied for comfort.
03
CONTROLLED MICRO-CHANNELING
A medical device creates uniform micro-channels at a depth selected for your skin.
04
SERUM APPLICATION
Targeted serums may be applied to support the skin during the healing window.
05
RECOVERY & FOLLOW-UP
We provide aftercare guidance and schedule any recommended follow-up sessions.
