What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-channels trigger your body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production—key proteins for youthful, resilient skin. At Belén Aesthetics, we use advanced microneedling devices to ensure precision and comfort, tailored to your skin concerns, whether it’s aging, scarring, or dullness.
Unlike lasers or peels, microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones, making it a versatile choice for our Centennial and Denver clients. With just 1-2 days of mild downtime, it’s ideal for those seeking natural rejuvenation without disrupting busy schedules.

The Science Behind Microneedling’s 400% Collagen Boost
Microneedling’s magic lies in its ability to harness your body’s healing power. The micro-injuries created by the needles signal your skin to produce collagen and elastin, which decline with age (by about 1% annually after age 30, per a 2023 Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology study). A landmark 2018 study in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery found that a series of 4 microneedling sessions can increase collagen by up to 400%, improving skin thickness, firmness, and texture.
This regenerative approach aligns with 2025’s trend toward biohacking and natural aesthetics, as it enhances your skin without synthetic fillers or aggressive lasers. At Belén Aesthetics, we amplify results by combining microneedling with PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin), which supercharges healing with your own growth factors, especially for under-eye rejuvenation or acne scars.
Why Microneedling Is a 2025 Must-Have for Anti-Aging
In 2025, regenerative treatments like microneedling are surging in popularity, especially for clients seeking natural, long-lasting results. Its minimal downtime (1-2 days of mild redness) fits perfectly for busy professionals, as noted in a recent Aesthetic Medicine Journal report on the rise of “weekend refresh” treatments. Microneedling’s versatility makes it a cornerstone of our Skin Edit consultation, where we craft annual plans to address concerns like:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars or enlarged pores
Uneven skin tone or texture
Stretch marks or mild sagging
Dull, tired-looking skin

Microneedling vs. Other Treatments: What Sets It Apart?
How does microneedling compare to other Belén Aesthetics offerings? Here’s a breakdown:
Microneedling vs. Moxi Laser: Moxi laser targets texture and pigment with light resurfacing (2-3 days downtime), while microneedling focuses on deeper collagen production. Combine them for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Microneedling vs. Chemical Peels: Peels address surface concerns like sunspots, but microneedling penetrates deeper for scars and firmness.
Microneedling vs. PRF: PRF uses your blood’s growth factors for targeted healing (e.g., under eyes). Pairing PRF with microneedling maximizes collagen and recovery.
