What are the Treatment Benefits?
Microneedling is safe and effective for all skin types and produces natural results with minimal discomfort and minimal downtime. It can be used on all parts of the body, including the face, neck, decollete, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back. Treatment can improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, acne scars, traumatic scars, and stretch marks.
What Treatment Options Do You Offer?
We are pleased to offer both Hyaluronic Acid and Growth Factor as treatment options for our microneedling sessions. Hyaluronic Acid is a completely safe and natural substance that naturally occurs in our bodies. It is applied during treatment to boost hydration in the skin. Growth Factor promotes improved conditions for healing and skin cell regeneration with reduced inflammation. During your skincare consultation, our aesthetician will recommend the best option for treating your desired concerns.
How is the Procedure Done?
Microneedling – Also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), micropen or automated microneedling – utilizes a motorized pen with 12 tiny micro-needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process triggers new collagen and elastin production, resulting in smoother, firmer, and younger-looking skin. There are several different brands of microneedling systems. We utilize the Eclipse Micropen Elite™ at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center.
During your treatment, our licensed medical aesthetician will attach a sterile cartridge containing the 12 tiny micro-needles to the applicator pen. A thin layer of numbing agent is applied to the skin initially for your comfort. Next, a topical gel is applied to the skin, and customized settings are selected to meet each patient’s unique needs. The micropen will be gently pressed against the skin while simultaneously gliding in one direction until the entire treatment area has been covered. The total treatment time is typically 30-45 minutes.

When Will I Notice Results?
Many patients notice an immediate glow to their skin and continue to see visible changes over the next 6-8 weeks. Results can keep improving for up to six months following treatment as collagen production continues.
Do You Offer Treatment Packages?
Colorado Plastic Surgery Center offers packages that include 3 or 4 sessions with either the Hyaluronic Acid or Growth Factor treatment options. Each of our package options comes with a post-treatment kit for at-home care.
