Microneedling

Collagen Induction Therapy for Smoother, Healthier-Looking Skin

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment designed to stimulate the skin’s natural renewal process. Using the Dermapen 4, an FDA-cleared professional microneedling device, we create precise micro-channels in the skin to encourage the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin.

At Kayco Wellness, microneedling is performed with precision and customized to your skin, treatment goals and the area being treated. The Dermapen 4 uses a controlled vertical stamping motion with adjustable needle depth and speed, allowing your treatment to be tailored to different areas and skin concerns.

What Can Microneedling Help With?

Microneedling can help improve the overall appearance and texture of the skin, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Acne scarring

• Uneven skin texture

• Enlarged pores

• Uneven skin tone

• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage

• Dull or lacklustre skin

• Loss of firmness and elasticity

• Certain scars and textural irregularities

By creating controlled micro-injuries, microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural repair response and supports new collagen and elastin formation. Over time, this can result in skin that looks smoother, firmer, more even and more refined.

Your Treatment:

Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared before treatment. The Dermapen 4 is then gently moved across the treatment area, creating thousands of controlled micro-channels within the skin. Treatment depth is adjusted according to the area being treated, your skin and your individual goals.

At Kayco Wellness, your microneedling appointment also includes acupuncture, allowing us to combine targeted skin rejuvenation with a personalized acupuncture treatment during the same visit.

Immediately following treatment, the skin may appear red, warm or slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This is a normal response and generally settles over the following days.

After Your Treatment

To support the skin’s healing process and optimize your results:

• Avoid direct or harsh sun exposure for at least 2 weeks

• Avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sweating for 48 hours

• Avoid active skincare ingredients, including acids, Vitamin C and retinoids, for 7 days

• Follow your personalized post treatment skincare instructions provided after your appointment

• Keep your skin protected and well hydrated while it heals

* Please wait a minimum of 2 weeks after Botox or dermal filler injections before undergoing microneedling treatment.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

For best results, a series of at least 3 treatments is recommended, with treatments spaced approximately 4–6 weeks apart. This allows time for the skin to heal and for the collagen-building process to continue between treatments, supporting progressive improvements in skin texture, tone and firmness.

Have Questions?

Every skin is different. We’re happy to answer your questions and help determine the appropriate timing and whether microneedling is right for you.
