Microneedling Treatment in Burlington
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a non-surgical treatment that rejuvenates the skin by stimulating the body’s natural repair process. Tiny, controlled micro-injuries trigger collagen and elastin production — improving texture, tone, and firmness.
At Burlington Plastic Surgery, our medical team performs precision microneedling using sterile, professional-grade devices to refine pores, smooth acne scars, and soften fine lines. The result is fresh, glowing skin with renewed elasticity and resilience.
Who this is for
Microneedling is ideal for patients seeking smoother, brighter skin without surgery or downtime. It’s particularly effective for those with uneven tone, acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, or rough texture. This treatment is suitable for most skin types and can be customized for sensitive skin.
What to expect
Your appointment begins with a consultation and topical numbing to ensure comfort. A handheld microneedling device creates precise microchannels in the skin, stimulating new collagen formation. Treatments typically take about 45–60 minutes, with mild redness afterward that subsides within 24–48 hours. Results develop gradually over several weeks, revealing firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin with each session.
TEXTURE, TONE, AND COLLAGEN RESTORATION
Microneedling awakens your skin’s natural renewal process to improve tone, texture, and firmness from within. Each treatment strengthens collagen, softens imperfections, and enhances overall radiance — delivering a fresh, youthful complexion with minimal downtime.

Here are the most common questions we hear about Microneedling in Burlington
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, uses fine sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and tones. It’s ideal for anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin naturally or treat common concerns such as texture irregularities, scarring, or early signs of aging. A consultation determines your best treatment plan.
