Smoother skin. Smaller pores. Real results.
Microneedling at GIO stimulates your skin's natural collagen production to improve texture, reduce scars and pores, and restore a youthful, radiant complexion — with minimal downtime.
What is microneedling?
Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of micro-channels in the skin. This controlled micro-injury triggers your body's natural wound-healing response — stimulating collagen and elastin production that firms, smooths, and rejuvenates the skin from within. The result is healthier, more youthful-looking skin that improves over time.
What microneedling treats
Acne scars
Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments for acne scarring — breaking down scar tissue and stimulating new collagen to smooth and resurface the skin.
Fine lines & wrinkles
By stimulating collagen production, microneedling softens fine lines and wrinkles — particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
Large pores
Microneedling tightens the skin and reduces the appearance of enlarged pores, giving the complexion a smoother, more refined look.
Uneven skin texture
Rough, uneven skin texture responds well to microneedling — the collagen remodeling process creates a noticeably smoother surface over a series of treatments.
Hyperpigmentation & sun damage
Microneedling accelerates skin cell turnover, helping to fade dark spots, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation for a more even skin tone.
Stretch marks
Microneedling can improve the appearance of stretch marks on the body by stimulating collagen in the affected areas.
Microneedling + PRP: the ultimate combination
For enhanced results, we offer microneedling combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) — sometimes called the 'Vampire Facial.' After microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin, PRP (derived from your own blood) is applied topically and absorbed directly into the skin. The growth factors in PRP supercharge the healing response, dramatically improving results for collagen production, skin tone, and overall rejuvenation.
- Deeper collagen stimulation than microneedling alone
- Faster healing and reduced downtime
- More dramatic improvement in skin texture and tone
- 100% natural — uses your own growth factors
What to expect at your appointment
Consultation & skin assessment
We assess your skin concerns, review your goals, and determine the appropriate treatment depth and any add-ons (like PRP) for your specific needs.
Numbing
A topical numbing cream is applied and left on for 20–30 minutes to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
Treatment
The microneedling device is passed over the treatment area in a systematic pattern. The procedure typically takes 30–45 minutes for the full face.
Recovery & aftercare
Your skin will appear pink or red for 24–48 hours — similar to a mild sunburn. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions and a recovery kit.
