Collagen induction therapy is a cosmetic procedure that involves tiny needles entering the skin to produce collagen. Also great for acne and rosacea, and to diminish scarring.
Fine lines, acne scarring, uneven texture, enlarged pores, sun damage, and dull skin that doesn't respond to topicals anymore.
Michelle recommends a series of three to six sessions for best results. Package prices are listed below.
Microneedling depth and technique matter enormously — too shallow and you waste your money, too aggressive and you damage the barrier. With many years of experience and an Idaho esthetician license, Michelle dials in every pass to your skin, your goals, and the day you're sitting in her chair.
Most clients describe it as a light prickling or vibration — not painful. Michelle applies a topical numbing cream before your session, so by the time treatment starts, the skin is fully prepped. The areas around the forehead and jawline can feel slightly more sensitive, but the whole thing is very tolerable.
You'll see a glow within a few days of your first appointment, but real structural change — firmness, scar improvement, smoother texture — builds across a series of three to four sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. Michelle will recommend a realistic plan based on what your skin actually needs, not a package upsell.
Plan on looking a little pink and warm for 24 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. By day two or three, you'll see some light flaking as the skin turns over. Most clients are back in makeup and out the door within 48 hours.
