Collagen-Stimulating Skin Rejuvenation
If you're looking to improve acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, or uneven skin texture, microneedling may be the solution. At CN Medical Aesthetics in Park Ridge, IL, we offer advanced collagen-stimulating treatments that naturally rejuvenate your skin while improving its overall tone, texture, and firmness.
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.
How it works
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger your body's natural healing response. As your skin repairs itself, new collagen and elastin are produced. As a result, your skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even over time. Furthermore, because the treatment stimulates your own collagen production, results continue to improve long after your appointment.
What does microneedling treat?
Microneedling is highly effective for:
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Uneven tone & signs of sun damage
- Mild skin laxity
- Stretch marks
- Dull or thinning skin
Because microneedling stimulates collagen beneath the skin's surface, improvements continue gradually over the following weeks. Therefore, most patients achieve the best results with a customized series of treatments rather than a single session.
Interested in enhancing results?
For even greater skin rejuvenation, many clients choose to combine Microneedling + PRP (platelet-rich plasma). PRP uses your body's own growth factors to support healing while enhancing collagen production. Consequently, many patients notice faster recovery and even better improvements in skin texture and tone.
What to Expect During Your Microneedling Appointment
Your appointment begins with a personalized skin consultation to evaluate your concerns and determine the best treatment approach. Next, we apply a topical numbing cream to maximize comfort. Once your skin is fully numb, your provider carefully performs the treatment using a medical-grade microneedling device. Finally, we apply post-treatment skincare products selected specifically for your skin's needs.
Treatment time: Approximately 45–60 minutes
Most clients describe the sensation as mild pressure or vibration.
Recovery & Results
Immediately after treatment, your skin will likely appear red and feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn. However, these effects usually improve within the first few days. As healing progresses, your skin may experience mild dryness or flaking before revealing a smoother, healthier appearance.
Recovery timeline:
- Day 1–3: Mild redness and sensitivity.
- Day 3–5: Dryness, flaking, or minor breakouts may occur as your skin renews itself.
- Weeks 2–6: Skin texture gradually becomes smoother while collagen production increases.
- Months 2–6: Collagen remodeling continues, leading to firmer, healthier-looking skin.
For optimal results, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart is typically recommended.
