About This Treatment

How Microneedling Works

Controlled micro-injuries from ultra-fine needles trigger the body's wound healing cascade, producing new collagen and elastin fibers. The result is firmer, smoother, more evenly toned skin that continues improving for months after treatment.

At IRIS Aesthetics in Longmont, CO, we use the medical-grade Dermapen device, the gold standard in microneedling technology. Unlike consumer-grade rollers or lower-quality devices, the Dermapen creates precise, vertical micro-channels at adjustable depths, minimizing tissue damage while maximizing collagen induction. Every treatment is performed under physician oversight with strict sterile technique.

“Your Skin's Natural Reset Button”

Whether you're addressing acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, or simply want to restore a youthful glow, microneedling harnesses your body's own regenerative power to deliver visible, lasting improvement, without the extended downtime of more aggressive procedures.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

About microneedling in Longmont, CO

The Dermapen can be adjusted from 0.25mm to 2.5mm depending on the treatment area and concern. Shallower depths target fine lines and pores, while deeper settings address acne scars and stretch marks. Your provider customizes the needle depth for each zone of your face during treatment, following protocols set by Adrianna Jensen, MD.
Most patients describe it as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. A topical numbing cream may be applied before treatment for comfort. The sensation is often compared to light sandpaper moving across the skin. Sessions with Boosters or Exosomes feel similar to Classic microneedling.
Classic microneedling uses hyaluronic acid serum during treatment for hydration and a foundational collagen boost. Microneedling with Boosters delivers professional-grade biocompatible active serums during treatment to help target concerns like texture, scars, stretch marks, acne, pigmentation, laxity, wrinkles, melasma, and inflammation. Microneedling with Exosomes uses stem-cell-derived regenerative technology paired with innovative delivery systems to help boost natural cell repair, recovery, and overall skin renewal.
Most patients achieve optimal results with 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Mild concerns like dull skin may improve in 2 to 3 sessions, while deeper acne scars may require 4 to 6 treatments. Maintenance sessions every 3 to 6 months help sustain results long-term.
Expect mild redness and slight swelling for 24 to 72 hours, similar to a mild sunburn. Most patients return to normal activities within 1 to 2 days. Makeup can typically be applied after 24 hours. Avoid direct sun exposure and active skincare ingredients for 48 to 72 hours post-treatment.
Yes, microneedling pairs beautifully with many treatments at IRIS Aesthetics. It is commonly combined with Botox (performed 2 weeks apart) and chemical peels. It can also be performed as a follow-up to CO2 laser resurfacing to maintain and enhance results. Our Aesthetics Team will create a customized combination plan during your consultation.
Microneedling is generally safe for most skin types, including sensitive skin. The Dermapen allows precise depth control, so treatments can be adjusted for delicate areas. However, it is not recommended for patients with active acne, eczema flares, rosacea outbreaks, or open wounds. A consultation with our Aesthetics Team will determine if microneedling is right for your skin.
Initial improvements in skin glow and texture are often visible within 1 to 2 weeks. The most significant results develop over 2 to 6 months as deep collagen remodeling continues beneath the surface. Collagen production can increase by 200 to 300% following a series of treatments, with improvements continuing to build over time.
