Microneedling & Collagen Banking for Glowing Skin | tres belle Spa

Dear Friends,

Starting in your mid-20’s you begin to lose around 1% of your collagen. By the time you reach your 40’s you experience a big drop in collagen production, and up to 30% after menopause. You may begin to notice some sagging, dryness and dullness. There’s a solution for that!

Collagen Banking: Microneedling for Youthful, Radiant Skin | Tres Belle Spa Brooklyn

Collagen is a key protein in the body, making up about 30% of total protein. It supports skin, bones, and connective tissue, while working with elastin to maintain skin volume, moisture, and resilience. While collagen supplements flood the market with promises, research shows that oral collagen alone rarely delivers significant skin improvements.

The proven solution? Microneedling.

Microneedling uses a handheld pen with tiny needles to create controlled microscopic punctures in the skin. These “micro-injuries” trigger the skin’s natural repair process, called dermal remodeling or collagen banking. During this process, the skin produces collagen and elastin, restoring volume, firmness, and smoothness—essentially fluffing up your skin from within. The result is dramatically improved texture, tone, elasticity, and the appearance of scars, especially acne scars.

Microneedling Q&A

Q: Does it hurt?
A: The face is numbed topically beforehand. Most clients report minimal to no discomfort.

Q: Are at-home microneedling devices effective?
A: Home devices don’t reach the depth necessary for lasting results. While they may temporarily improve surface scars, professional microneedling delivers real, visible change, especially for acne scars.

Q: Is there downtime?
A: Typically no, though the skin may appear slightly red for a few hours to 48 hours, and gentle exfoliation/flaking may occur—a beneficial side effect.

Q: What skin concerns can microneedling improve?
A: Wrinkles, acne scars, surgical scars, sagging skin, enlarged pores, melasma, and hyperpigmentation.
