Book Now Transform Your Skin with Advanced Collagen Induction Therapy
Are you looking to rejuvenate your skin and address concerns like acne scars, fine lines, or uneven texture? Expert Wellness in Frisco, Texas, offers advanced microneedling treatments that harness your body’s natural healing power to reveal smoother, more radiant skin. Our comprehensive approach to collagen induction therapy helps patients throughout the DFW area achieve their aesthetic goals with minimal downtime.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures trigger your body’s natural wound healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin – the proteins responsible for maintaining skin structure, firmness, and elasticity.
During treatment, a specialized device creates thousands of microscopic channels in the skin’s surface. This controlled injury process activates the skin’s repair mechanisms, leading to improved texture, tone, and overall appearance.

How Does Microneedling Work?
The science behind microneedling lies in the body’s natural wound healing cascade. When the fine needles penetrate the skin, they create controlled micro-trauma that initiates three distinct phases of healing:
Inflammatory Phase
Immediately following treatment, your skin releases growth factors and begins the healing process. This phase typically lasts 24-48 hours and may result in mild redness and sensitivity.
Proliferative Phase
Over the next 3-5 days, your body produces new collagen, elastin, and blood vessels. This is when the real transformation begins as your skin starts to rebuild itself from within.
Remodeling Phase
For the following 4-6 weeks, your skin continues to produce new collagen while existing collagen fibers reorganize and strengthen. According to studies, this process can increase collagen production by up to 400%.
