Microneedling: Collagen Induction Therapy

Microneedling is one of the most effective non-injectable skin treatments available, clinically proven to improve skin texture, reduce scarring, and stimulate long-term collagen and elastin production. At By Olivia, microneedling is performed using the SkinPen® , the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the world.

Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling works by creating thousands of precise micro-channels in the skin using the SkinPen®. These controlled micro-injuries trigger your skin's natural wound healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibres and encouraging the skin to renew and repair itself from within.

The result is visibly smoother, firmer, more even skin over a course of treatments, without surgery, without downtime, and without altering your natural features.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is suitable for all skin types and is particularly effective for:

  • Fine lines and surface wrinkles

  • Acne scarring and post-inflammatory marks

  • Pigmentation and uneven skin tone

  • Enlarged pores

  • Stretch marks

  • Overall skin texture and dullness

  • Loss of firmness and early skin laxity

What Microneedling Treats

The SkinPen® is the gold standard in microneedling devices, FDA-cleared, clinically validated, and designed for precision and safety. Its adjustable needle depth allows Olivia to tailor each treatment to your specific skin concerns and the area being treated, ensuring consistent, controlled results with minimal risk.

Why the SkinPen®?

What to Expect during your appointment?

Each microneedling session takes approximately 60 minutes. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to keep you comfortable throughout the treatment.

Immediately after, your skin will appear pink or red, similar to mild sunburn, which typically settles within 24 to 48 hours. Most clients return to their normal activities the following day.

Results develop progressively as your skin produces new collagen and elastin over the weeks following treatment. You'll notice continued improvement in texture, tone, and firmness as your skin responds.

Most clients see the best results after a course of 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Olivia will assess your skin at your consultation and recommend a treatment plan based on your specific concerns and goals.

Maintenance sessions once or twice a year are recommended to sustain results long term.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones. It's a particularly good option if you're looking to improve skin texture and quality without injectables, or as a complement to other treatments like Sunekos or anti-wrinkle injectables.

It's not recommended during pregnancy, for those with active skin infections or open wounds, or for clients taking certain medications. Olivia will review your suitability at your consultation.
