Collagen-Stimulating Skin Rejuvenation
If you’re looking to improve acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, or uneven texture, CN Medical Aesthetics in Park Ridge, IL offers advanced, results-driven treatments designed to stimulate your skin’s natural collagen production while correcting trouble areas.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger your body’s natural healing response. When collagen and elastin rebuild, skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even over time.
At CN Medical Aesthetics in Park Ridge, every treatment is customized to your skin type and goals for safe, natural-looking results.
What does microneedling treat?
Microneedling is highly effective for:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Sun damage
- Mild skin laxity
- Stretch marks
- Dull or thinning skin
Because it works by stimulating collagen beneath the surface, results continue to improve gradually over several weeks with a series of treatments.
Interested in enhancing results?
For clients seeking to enhance microneedling results, we also offer Microneedling + PRP. This advanced treatment combines traditional microneedling with platelet-rich plasma to support healing and enhance skin rejuvenation.
What to Expect During Your Microneedling Appointment
Your appointment begins with a skin assessment and consultation. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. The microneedling device is then passed across the treatment area to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. Your esthetician will finish with the appropriate serums or creams and SPF based on your skin assesment.
