Collagen Induction:
Microneedling has become a cornerstone treatment in modern aesthetics, offering a host of benefits that extend far beyond simple skincare. At Accent Aesthetics, we are proud to offer cutting-edge microneedling services using the SkinPen Microneedling system, designed to deliver visible, long-lasting results.
Whether you’re looking to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, tighten and rejuvenate your skin, or improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks, microneedling can be the solution you’ve been searching for.
Behind MicroneedlinG
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, involves the use of fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These tiny perforations trigger the skin’s natural healing response, leading to the production of collagen, elastin, and other essential growth factors. This process is key to the rejuvenation and revitalization of the skin, as collagen and elastin are the proteins responsible for maintaining skin’s elasticity, firmness, and youthful appearance.
At Accent Aesthetics, we utilize the SkinPen Microneedling system, which features 14 precisely spaced micro-needles on a reciprocating head. This advanced technology allows us to create invisible, vertical micro-perforations that penetrate the dermis, the deeper layer of the skin. The controlled injury induced by these micro-perforations sets off a cascade of healing processes within the skin, promoting cellular turnover and encouraging the synthesis of new collagen and elastin fibers. Over time, this results in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
One of the most sought-after benefits of microneedling is its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. As we age, our skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin declines, leading to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Microneedling stimulates the skin’s natural repair mechanisms, promoting collagen and elastin production, which helps to smooth out these signs of aging. With regular
Lifts, Tightens, and Rejuvenates Skin
In addition to reducing wrinkles, microneedling is also highly effective at lifting and tightening the skin. The production of new collagen and elastin helps to improve skin elasticity, making it firmer and more resilient. This tightening effect is particularly beneficial for those experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, as it can help to counteract the effects of gravity and aging. The result is skin that looks and feels rejuvenated, with a healthy, youthful glow.
Minimize Pore Size
Large pores can be a source of frustration for many individuals, as they can contribute to an uneven skin texture and make the skin more prone to blemishes. Microneedling helps to minimize the appearance of pores by stimulating the production of collagen around the pore walls, effectively “shrinking” them.
Improves the Appearance of Scars & Stretch Marks
Microneedling is highly effective in reducing the appearance of both stretch marks and scars, whether caused by weight changes, pregnancy, acne, surgery, or injury. By promoting collagen production, microneedling helps to repair and regenerate the skin, making these marks less noticeable over time. This treatment encourages the skin’s natural healing processes, breaking down fibrous tissue and leading to smoother, more even-toned skin that blends seamlessly with surrounding areas.
At Accent Aesthetics, we are committed to providing our clients with the highest quality treatments, which is why we have chosen the SkinPen Microneedling system. This FDA-cleared device is the first microneedling system to be clinically proven to improve the appearance of wrinkles, stretch marks, and scars. Its 14 precisely spaced micro-needles are designed to create consistent, uniform micro-perforations, ensuring optimal results with minimal discomfort.
The SkinPen system is also highly customizable, allowing our skilled aestheticians to tailor the treatment to each client’s specific needs. Whether you are looking to address signs of aging, improve skin texture, or reduce the appearance of scars, the SkinPen can be adjusted to deliver the perfect level of intensity for your skin type and concerns.
Following a microneedling session, it is normal for the skin to appear red and feel warm, similar to a moderate to severe sunburn. This is a sign that the skin’s natural healing processes have been activated. Most clients find that these side effects subside within 1 to 2 hours, and recovery typically occurs within 24 hours or less. However, it is not uncommon to experience slight pinkness for 2-5 days, along with some dryness and flaking as the skin undergoes renewal.
To ensure optimal results and support the healing process, your aesthetician will recommend a post-treatment skincare regimen tailored to your skin’s needs. This may include gentle cleansers, hydrating serums, and protective SPF to soothe and nourish the skin as it heals. It is important to follow these recommendations closely to achieve the best possible outcome from your microneedling treatment.
In addition to traditional microneedling, Accent Aesthetics also offers Intracel Radio Frequency (RF) Microneedling. This advanced treatment combines the benefits of microneedling with the added power of radiofrequency energy to further enhance collagen production and skin tightening.
