The Science Behind Microneedling: Boost Collagen & Restore Skin Health

Microneedling has quickly become one of the most sought-after treatments in aesthetic medicine and for good reason. Beyond the buzz, this procedure leverages your body’s natural healing process to improve texture, tone, and firmness, all while stimulating collagen production for long-lasting skin health. At Scrubd Esthetics, we use SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, to deliver safe, precise results for all skin types and tones.

How Microneedling Works
Microneedling uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These precise injuries do not damage the surface but trigger your natural wound-healing response, which stimulates collagen and elastin production. This process helps:
- Improve fine lines and wrinkles by boosting skin elasticity
- Reduce acne and scars through tissue remodeling
- Minimize enlarged pores and uneven texture for a smoother appearance
- Address stretch marks by strengthening the dermal matrix
- Enhance overall skin tone, firmness, and resilience
- Promotes collagen and elastin stimulation
By working from the inside out, microneedling supports long-term skin health and a naturally refreshed appearance that continues to improve over time. With consistent treatments, the skin becomes stronger, plumper, and more radiant.
What Makes The SkinPen® Better
Not all microneedling devices are created equal. SkinPen® is FDA-cleared, a distinction that highlights its proven safety and clinical reliability. This clearance ensures that each treatment delivers predictable outcomes with professional precision, giving clients confidence that they are receiving a medical-grade procedure backed by rigorous standards.
Its design allows for:
- Controlled needle depth across all treatment areas
- Precision for sensitive or challenging regions
- Minimal downtime with a low risk of adverse effects
Because of these features, SkinPen® is ideal for clients seeking reliable outcomes. Whether the goal is to smooth fine lines, improve overall skin texture, reduce the appearance of scars, or achieve a more youthful, radiant complexion, SkinPen® provides results that are both measurable and natural-looking. Its combination of safety, precision, and effectiveness makes it a trusted choice for those committed to long-term skin health and rejuvenation.
Enhancing Results with Post-Treatment Care
After microneedling, your skin is especially receptive to nutrients and hydration, making the post-treatment phase a critical step in achieving optimal results. At Scrubd, we elevate this process by applying the Biojuve Face Mask, a medical-grade treatment designed to complement and enhance the effects of microneedling.
The mask works to:
- Soothe redness and inflammation
- Deliver concentrated hydration via biocellulose technology
- Support collagen production with peptides, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid
- Accelerate recovery while locking in the benefits of your session
Incorporating this step ensures that your skin not only heals efficiently but also maximizes the transformative effects of your microneedling session. Clients often notice improved texture, increased radiance, and a more even, rejuvenated complexion, all while minimizing discomfort and protecting the delicate, freshly treated skin.
Who Benefits Most from Microneedling
Microneedling is a versatile and highly effective option for anyone looking to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness. By stimulating the skin’s natural collagen and elastin production, it addresses both visible concerns and preventative needs, making it a cornerstone of comprehensive skin care. This treatment is suitable for a wide range of skin types and goals, offering a personalized approach that can deliver noticeable, long-lasting results.
Patients who may benefit the most include those experiencing:
- Fine lines or early signs of aging
- Acne scars or other textural issues
- Enlarged pores or uneven skin texture
- Sun damage or dullness
- Stretch marks or areas of laxity
Because microneedling strengthens the skin’s underlying structure, each session can be tailored to individual goals, whether the priority is correcting existing imperfections or maintaining a resilient, youthful complexion. Over time, clients often notice improved elasticity, smoother texture, and a more radiant appearance, making microneedling a trusted treatment for both immediate results and long-term skin health.
What to Expect from a Microneedling Series
While even a single microneedling session can deliver noticeable improvements, the most transformative results are achieved through a series of treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. This schedule allows the skin to fully respond to the collagen-stimulating effects of microneedling while gradually building strength, elasticity, and resilience over time.
With consistent treatment, clients typically notice:
- Firmer, smoother skin
- Reduction in fine lines, wrinkles, and scars
- Enhanced texture, tone, and overall radiance
To further support these results, pairing microneedling with medical-grade skincare helps protect the skin barrier, lock in hydration, and maintain long-lasting improvements. This combination approach ensures that each session not only addresses immediate concerns but also contributes to ongoing skin health, leaving the complexion looking rejuvenated, balanced, and naturally luminous.
Scrubd Tips for Optimal Outcomes Post Treatment
To get the most from your microneedling treatment, preparation and aftercare are just as important as the procedure itself. Supporting the skin before and after treatment helps optimize collagen production, minimize irritation, and extend your results.
- Avoid tanning for 2 weeks before and after treatment
Sun exposure can compromise the skin barrier and increase sensitivity, making the skin more reactive during microneedling. Avoiding tanning and using daily SPF allows the skin to heal properly and reduces the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation, ensuring a more even, radiant result. - Stay consistent with your treatment schedule for best results
Microneedling works cumulatively by stimulating collagen and elastin over time. Maintaining treatments every 4–6 weeks allows the skin to build strength gradually, leading to smoother texture, improved firmness, and longer-lasting improvements rather than temporary changes. - Hydrate and moisturize daily to support collagen production and recovery
Well-hydrated skin heals more efficiently and responds better to collagen stimulation. Drinking adequate water and using medical-grade moisturizers helps maintain the skin barrier, reduce dryness or flaking, and support the regeneration process following treatment.
By following these guidelines, clients often experience faster recovery, improved comfort, and more noticeable, long-term results, allowing microneedling to deliver its full skin-renewing potential.
