About this treatment
Microneedling, also known as collagen-induction therapy, uses fine, sterile needles to create precise micro-channels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries activate the body’s natural repair process, encouraging the production of fresh collagen and elastin over the weeks following treatment.
During your visit, the skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared for comfort before the microneedling device is passed across the treatment area in a controlled, even pattern. Clients typically feel a light prickling or vibrating sensation, and the skin may appear pink or flushed afterward, similar to a mild sunburn.
This treatment is ideal for improving the appearance of uneven texture, enlarged pores, fine lines, mild skin laxity, and certain types of acne scarring. For best results, a series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is commonly recommended, allowing the skin time to rebuild and strengthen between appointments.
At La Lueur Beauty & Spa in Burlington, MA, microneedling is performed with a client-focused approach to help reveal a smoother, brighter, and more refined complexion. Results develop gradually as collagen renewal progresses, with many clients noticing continued improvement over time.
