Microneedling

Collagen Induction Therapy

Microneedling, a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure, has gained prominence in recent years as an effective method for rejuvenating the skin. This treatment, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of a specialized device equipped with fine needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These tiny punctures stimulate the skin's natural healing processes, triggering collagen and elastin production.

As a result, microneedling is celebrated for its ability to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, and enhance the overall complexion. This procedure is safe, effective, and tailored to each patient's specific needs.

Is microneedling effective? Absolutely. This treatment is clinically proven to stimulate collagen and elastin production through controlled micro-injuries. As illustrated in the comparative diagram, microneedling breaks down old collagen strands and activates blood vessels in the dermis layer. Over time, the skin becomes smoother, thicker, and more resilient.

The procedure is especially effective for reducing fine lines, acne scars, and pigmentation irregularities. It also enhances the absorption of topical treatments and can be safely combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) for even greater anti-aging results.

What is microneedling, and is it really effective?

As we age, our skin naturally produces less collagen, which can leave it looking dull, wrinkled, and uneven. Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment that stimulates the skin to produce new collagen and elastin. This process helps replace old skin cells, reducing fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin texture.

What makes Dermapen microneedling different?

At Gbyskincare, we use the Dermapen Microneedling device, a leading treatment for skin rejuvenation. Dermapen delivers precise micro-injuries that encourage your skin’s natural healing response—improving skin texture, reducing fine wrinkles, minimizing scars, and restoring a healthy, youthful glow.

Can microneedling help with acne scars?

Yes. Dermapen is highly effective for treating acne scars, including ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars. Unlike harsher treatments such as chemical peels, dermabrasion, or lasers—which can increase the risk of pigmentation in darker skin—microneedling is gentler, leaves the epidermis largely intact, and carries the lowest risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

What about keloid or hypertrophic scars?

Keloids and hypertrophic scars can be challenging, but microneedling is one of the least risky treatments compared to surgery, steroids, or lasers. It helps soften scar tissue and stimulate healthier collagen production with minimal downtime.
