Microneedling — Skin Renewal

ILK's microneedling session creates thousands of controlled micro-punctures in the skin using fine needles, triggering the body's natural wound-healing cascade to produce new collagen and elastin. Performed by Mgr. Martina Nezbedová, the protocol follows a defined sequence: cleansing, a hydrating ampoule to prep the skin, the microneedling pass, a calming mask, and finishing with eye cream and a lifting cream. The micro-channels close within 15 minutes of the session, allowing makeup after just 1 hour. This makes it one of ILK's shortest-downtime rejuvenation options while still delivering measurable collagen induction.

Microneedling at ILK is a structured, protocol-driven skin treatment administered by cosmetologist Mgr. Martina Nezbedová as part of ILK's medical cosmetology service. The technique uses a device with fine sterile needles that puncture the skin at a controlled depth, creating thousands of micro-injuries that remain invisible to the naked eye but are sufficient to activate the skin's regenerative response. In the first phase following puncture, platelets aggregate and release growth factors at each injury site. In the subsequent days to weeks, fibroblasts migrate to the zone and begin producing new collagen and elastin fibres — the same structural proteins that thin and become disorganised with age and UV damage. The protocol at ILK is five steps. First, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove surface contamination. Second, a hydrating ampoule is applied and worked into the skin to prime the cellular environment and provide actives that will be driven deeper by the needling pass. Third, the microneedling device is passed across the treatment area — the face, neck, décolletage, or back of the hands — at an appropriate depth. Fourth, a calming mask is applied to reduce erythema and soothe the treated skin. Fifth, the session concludes with targeted application of eye cream and a lifting cream to support the immediate skin barrier recovery. The micro-channels created by the needles close within approximately 15 minutes as the skin's sealing response activates, making this one of the shortest recovery windows among active skin treatments — makeup can be applied safely within 1 hour. The 1,500 Kč price point includes the full protocol, making it accessible relative to more invasive options on the ILK menu. For best results, a course of 3–6 sessions is typical, spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
