Microneedling 101

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling—also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT)—is a non-invasive skin treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to create microscopic punctures in the surface of the skin.

These “micro-injuries” kickstart your skin’s natural healing process, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin—the two proteins responsible for firm, youthful-looking skin.

Collagen production typically begins to decline in the mid-to-late 20s, which is an ideal time to start microneedling to maintain healthy-looking skin and address early signs of aging like:

Fine lines and wrinkles

Uneven tone or pigmentation

Enlarged pores

Dullness or loss of elasticity

Topical skincare products may hydrate the outer surface, but most active ingredients struggle to reach the living layers of skin where real transformation happens.

How Microneedling Works

Each time you stamp or glide your device across the skin, you're:

Creating micro-channels in the skin’s surface
Allowing active ingredients to absorb deeper(up to 300% more!)
Triggering your body’s natural wound healing response
Encouraging the release of growth factors that generate new collagen and elastin

The result? Fresher, smoother, glowier skin - without downtime or invasive treatments.

Why Serums Work Better With Microneedling

Your skin’s outer layer (the epidermis) is highly protective - but it also blocks most topical actives from reaching deeper layers.

Microneedling temporarily opens micro-channels that allow larger serum molecules to pass through, delivering ingredients directly to where your skin can use them best. This dramatically increases product efficacy.

💧 That’s why we recommend using Erra Skin’s infusion serums with each session - carefully selected, clinically formulated, and safe for dermal delivery.

What Can Microneedling Help With?

It’s safe, simple, and effective - with results that compound over time.
Microneedling has been shown to visibly improve:

Fine lines and wrinkles

Acne scarring and pigmentation

Uneven skin texture

Enlarged pores

Loss of tone and elasticity

Stretch marks

What Should I Use With It?

Microneedling should always be paired with a serum that is:

Free from fragrance, alcohol & irritating ingredients

Clinically backed & designed for post-needling use

Focused on hydration, barrier repair, and brightening

Is It Safe?

Yes - when done correctly. Erra Skin’s 24K gold, ultra-fine needles are designed for safe, effective at-home use with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Unlike microneedling pens or rollers that drag across the skin, our gentle stamping action goes straight in and out. This reduces unnecessary trauma, avoids micro-tears, and helps keep skin calm while still creating the precise micro-channels needed for results.

Always use a fresh needle head/device
Use only recommended serums
Avoid sun exposure, acids, and retinoids post-treatment

Avoid microneedling if you have active acne, eczema, rosacea flare-ups, or any open wounds.
