How Microneedling Transforms Your Skin
Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers your body's natural wound-healing response — producing new collagen and elastin that smooth, firm, and rejuvenate the skin from within.
At TRU Integrative Wellness, we use medical-grade devices with adjustable depth settings to customize each treatment for your specific skin concerns and goals.

The Science
The Microneedling Process
After cleansing your skin, a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort. Your provider selects the appropriate needle depth based on the area being treated and your specific concerns.
The microneedling device is passed over the treatment area in a systematic pattern. You may feel a vibrating or scratching sensation. Serums like hyaluronic acid or growth factors may be applied during treatment to enhance results.
Post-treatment, your skin will appear pink to red — similar to a mild sunburn. This typically resolves within 24-72 hours. New collagen production continues for weeks after each session.
