What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a procedure that utilizes tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the top layer of your skin. This triggers the body's natural healing response, stimulating collagen and elastin production. These proteins are essential for maintaining skin structure and elasticity. Increased collagen and elastin production leads to a smoother, firmer complexion with improved texture and tone.
Our Duluth microneedling treatments can be customized to address specific concerns. Your Kontour provider will discuss your goals and recommend the appropriate needle depth and number of treatment sessions needed to achieve optimal results.
What is the microneedling procedure like?
Microneedling
During your microneedling appointment, a topical anesthetic cream will be applied to numb the treatment area. Once the treatment area is numb, your provider will gently glide a microneedling device across your skin. The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes and may cause mild discomfort, which is easily managed with the numbing cream.
Microneedling with PRP Treatments
Kontour Medical Spa also offers microneedling with PRP treatments, a powerful combination treatment that can further enhance your results. PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is a concentration of platelets derived from your own blood. These platelets are rich in growth factors that can stimulate collagen production and accelerate the healing process.
During a microneedling with PRP treatment, your blood will be drawn and processed to isolate the PRP. The PRP is then applied topically to the skin after the microneedling process. The tiny channels created by the microneedling needles allow for deeper penetration of the PRP, maximizing its effectiveness.

Microneedling Recovery
Microneedling has minimal downtime. Your skin may be red and sensitive for 24-48 hours following treatment. Your provider will provide you with specific aftercare instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using a gentle cleanser, and applying moisturizer.
Microneedling Results
You may begin to see subtle improvements in your skin texture and tone within a few weeks of treatment. However, the full effects of microneedling typically take 6-8 weeks to become noticeable, as your body builds new collagen. Results can last for up to a year with proper skin care and sun protection.
Microneedling FAQs
