Micro-needling Skin Treatment

Micro-needling at the institute uses fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering the natural wound-healing cascade and stimulating new collagen and elastin production. The treatment is used to improve skin texture and firmness, soften fine lines, reduce the appearance of acne scars and enlarged pores, and boost the absorption of active serums applied during the session. Sessions start from 1,500 Kč and are performed within the institute's facial-care department alongside its Renophase dermo-cosmetic line.

Micro-needling (collagen induction therapy) is a mechanical skin-renewal method in which an array of fine needles creates thousands of microscopic channels in the epidermis and upper dermis. Each micro-injury is too small to scar but collectively they activate the skin's repair response: platelets and growth factors are released, fibroblasts are recruited, and over the following weeks new collagen (types I and III) and elastin are laid down — progressively firming the skin and smoothing its texture. **What it helps with:** - Fine lines and early skin laxity - Atrophic acne scarring and uneven texture - Enlarged pores - Dull skin tone and reduced elasticity - Enhanced penetration of active serums (the micro-channels temporarily increase absorption many-fold) **The session:** Skin is cleansed and a suitable serum selected. The micro-needling device is passed systematically over the treatment area; depending on needle depth, mild redness similar to light sunburn appears and typically settles within 24–48 hours. A calming serum or mask finishes the session. **Course and results:** Collagen remodelling builds gradually — most clients take a course of 3–6 sessions spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, with texture improvements becoming visible from the second or third session and continuing to develop for months after the course. **Aftercare:** Avoid makeup for 24 hours, and sun exposure, sauna, and intense exercise for 48 hours. Daily SPF is important during a course. Micro-needling is not performed over active acne pustules, herpes, eczema, or broken skin. **Pricing:** From 1,500 Kč per session, with the final price depending on the area treated and the serums used — confirmed at consultation.
