Stimulate. Remodel. Renew.

DermLux Corrective Collagen Microneedling is a personalized collagen induction treatment designed to stimulate the skin's natural renewal process and improve overall skin quality.

Performed using the MDPen Ultra® microneedling system, treatment creates controlled microchannels within the skin to initiate a natural healing response that supports collagen and elastin production over time.

Your Skin. Your Plan.

Microneedling is not a one-treatment-fits-all approach. Your treatment plan is personalized according to your skin health, concerns, treatment history, and goals—from improving texture and acne scarring to supporting smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin.

What Is Collagen Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses fine sterile needles to create controlled microchannels within the skin.

These microchannels initiate the skin's natural repair response, supporting the production and remodeling of collagen and elastin. Because this process develops gradually, improvements in skin quality continue beyond the treatment itself.

At DermLux, microneedling is used as a corrective skin rejuvenation treatment with each session customized according to your skin, treatment goals, and areas of concern.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling works by creating a controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin to begin the wound healing process in stages.

1 — Initiate

Controlled microchannels created during treatment activate the skin's natural healing response.

2 — Rebuild

As the repair process progresses, the skin begins supporting new collagen, elastin, and tissue renewal.

3 — Remodel

Collagen continues to mature and reorganize over time, gradually supporting improvements in skin texture, firmness, and overall skin quality.

The goal isn't simply to treat the surface—it's to encourage healthier skin remodeling from within.

Is Corrective Collagen Microneedling Right for Your Skin?

Microneedling may be considered for patients looking to improve the appearance of:

Acne scarring · Fine lines · Uneven texture · Enlarged pores · Skin laxity · Dullness · Visible signs of aging · Overall skin quality

Because different skin concerns require different treatment approaches, your provider will evaluate your skin and determine whether microneedling—or another DermLux skin rejuvenation treatment—is best suited to your goals.

What to Expect During Your Microneedling Treatment

Your appointment begins with a personalized skin assessment and review of your treatment goals, medical history, current skincare routine, and previous aesthetic treatments.

Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared before treatment. A topical numbing agent may be applied for comfort before the microneedling procedure begins.

Treatment depth and technique are customized according to the treatment area, skin condition, and desired level of correction.

What Should I Expect After Microneedling?

Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear pink or red and feel warm, tight, or sensitive—similar to a mild sunburn. Mild dryness or light flaking may occur during the first few days as your skin begins its recovery process.

During this time, gentle skincare, hydration, and sun protection are especially important.

Your recovery continues at home. Every DermLux microneedling treatment includes a complimentary post-care recovery kit with professional-grade skincare products thoughtfully selected by our providers to support your skin barrier and healing process after treatment.

You'll also receive detailed aftercare instructions so you know how to care for your skin throughout recovery.

When Will I See Results?

Microneedling results develop progressively as the skin moves through its natural repair and collagen-remodeling process.

Some patients notice early improvements in skin texture and radiance as the skin recovers, while changes related to collagen remodeling develop more gradually over the weeks and months following treatment.

For concerns such as acne scarring, texture, and visible signs of aging, a series of treatments may be recommended rather than relying on a single session.

Your DermLux provider will develop a treatment schedule based on your skin, goals, response to treatment, and overall skin rejuvenation plan.

Microneedling FAQs

Does microneedling hurt?

A topical numbing agent may be applied before treatment to improve comfort. Most patients tolerate the procedure well, although individual sensitivity and treatment intensity can vary.

How much downtime should I expect?

Redness, warmth, tightness, and sensitivity are common immediately following microneedling. Mild dryness or flaking may also occur during recovery.

The amount of visible downtime varies according to treatment intensity and your individual skin response.

How many microneedling treatments will I need?

Your treatment plan depends on your skin and goals. Some patients may benefit from microneedling as periodic skin rejuvenation, while concerns such as acne scarring or more significant texture changes may require a planned series of treatments.

Your provider will recommend an individualized treatment plan following your skin assessment.

What is the difference between microneedling and Diamond Skin Renewal?

Both treatments support skin rejuvenation, but they work differently.

Diamond Skin Renewal combines controlled surface exfoliation with superficial microchanneling and simultaneous topical serum infusion for hydration, luminosity, and skin refinement.

Corrective Collagen Microneedling is a more targeted collagen-induction treatment designed to create a controlled skin-repair response and support progressive collagen remodeling.

Your provider can help determine which treatment better matches your skin concerns and goals.

Can microneedling help acne scars?

Microneedling may improve the appearance of certain types of acne scarring by supporting collagen remodeling and improvements in skin texture over time.

Not all acne scars respond the same way, so your provider will evaluate your scar pattern and skin before recommending treatment.

Can microneedling be combined with other DermLux treatments?

Yes, microneedling may be incorporated into a broader skin rejuvenation plan when appropriate. Treatment timing is important, particularly when combining microneedling with chemical peels, resurfacing treatments, injectables, or other aesthetic procedures.

Your provider will determine the appropriate treatment sequence and recovery intervals based on your individualized plan.
