Collagen Induction Therapy
Microneedling in Cherry Creek, Denver
If you’re dealing with acne scars, uneven texture, or early fine lines, microneedling works deeper than a facial can. At Nekadam Skin Esthetics in Cherry Creek, licensed esthetician Lara uses microneedling to prompt your skin’s own collagen — for firmer, smoother, more refined skin over a series of sessions, with natural serums and a personalized plan rather than a one-size protocol.

What is microneedling?
Microneedling — also called collagen induction therapy — uses a precise tool with very fine needles to create tiny micro-channels across the skin’s surface. Those micro-channels are minor, but they switch on your skin’s natural repair response, ramping up fresh collagen and elastin in the weeks that follow.
The payoff, built over a series of sessions, is firmer, smoother skin with softer-looking scars and more even texture. At Nekadam, Lara pairs each treatment with nourishing serums and botanicals that absorb more effectively through those freshly opened channels — so you get the collagen boost and a deep nutrient delivery in one visit.

Microneedling FAQs
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
Most clients see the best results from a series of 3 to 6 sessions, spaced about four weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance. You may notice a glow within days, but collagen builds gradually over the weeks between visits.
Is microneedling painful, and is there downtime?
Most people describe it as very tolerable — a light prickling sensation — and Lara keeps you comfortable throughout. Expect mild redness like a light sunburn for 24 to 48 hours, then a quick return to normal with gentle aftercare and SPF.
Will microneedling completely remove my acne scars?
It softens the look of scars and texture over time rather than erasing them. Many clients see meaningful, gradual improvement across a series of treatments, and Lara will set honest expectations for your specific skin.
Is microneedling safe for skin of color?
Yes. Because microneedling works mechanically rather than with heat, it’s generally considered well-suited to melanin-rich skin when performed correctly. Lara tailors the technique and aftercare to your skin to keep it safe.
