You’ve chosen to make North Atlanta home because of the balance it offers — the energy of the city without losing the soul of a community. You might live 15 miles northwest of Atlanta in Marietta, a full-service municipality celebrated as both an All-America City and a top retirement destination. Maybe you’re drawn to Norcross’s small-town charm, a historic downtown that somehow powers an economic engine. Perhaps your life revolves around Peachtree Corners, Georgia’s youngest city, combining a family-friendly Town Center with high-tech hustle.
Wherever you call home, your reflection should feel as vibrant and authentic as your neighborhood. Collagen induction therapy — commonly called microneedling — can help you reclaim that radiance without missing out on life.
Why Microneedling
Microneedling isn’t just for wrinkles. This collagen-induction therapy treats acne scars, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, skin laxity and dull tone, and it is beneficial for all ages and skin types. The treatment is well-tolerated because your provider applies a topical numbing cream; most people describe the sensation as mild tingling.
What to Expect & How to Prepare
Because of the numbing cream, discomfort is minimal; you might feel light pressure during treatment. Mild tenderness, swelling and redness are expected for a day or two. You can manage any post-treatment tightness with Tylenol if needed. Inflammation peaks in the first 2–3 days and you may notice a rough “sandpaper” texture while your skin heals.
Results typically start to show in 2–3 weeks, and the full effect builds over three months. Most people complete three to six sessions spaced about four weeks apart to achieve and maintain optimal results.
Pre-treatment: pause retinoids and exfoliants, avoid sunburn and self-tanner, and arrive with clean skin. Post-treatment: use the recommended gentle cleanser and moisturizer, avoid hot yoga, swimming and active ingredients until cleared by your provider, and wear SPF daily.
