A Holistic, Regenerative Approach to Microneedling

Healthy, glowing skin starts with cellular regeneration. At Denver Sports & Holistic Medicine, we take a holistic, science-backed approach to skin rejuvenation using medical-grade microneedling, nano-needling, peptide therapy, stem-cell serums, facial acupuncture, and targeted light therapy.

Whether your goal is scar reduction, fine line softening, improved elasticity, or a brighter, more even complexion, we create a customized regenerative protocol designed for your skin’s unique biology.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling—also known as Collagen Induction Therapy—creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate:

• Collagen and elastin production
• Increased cellular turnover
• Improved skin texture and firmness
• Enhanced absorption of regenerative serums

Unlike chemical peels or ablative lasers, microneedling is non-ablative, gentle, and appropriate for most skin types. Results develop progressively as your body remodels tissue and builds healthier skin.

What We Treat

Microneedling is clinically effective for:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars and pitted scarring
• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
• Stretch marks
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven tone and texture

Frequently Asked Questions About Microneedling

1. How does microneedling work?

Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen, elastin, and growth factor production. This accelerates cellular repair, improves texture, and reduces scarring, pigmentation, and fine lines.

2. Is microneedling safe for all skin types?

Yes. Microneedling is safe for most skin types and tones. Because it does not use heat, it is an excellent option for individuals with sensitive or reactive skin.

3. How many microneedling sessions do I need?

Most patients see visible improvement after 1–3 sessions. For deeper scars, wrinkles, or melasma, a series of 4–6 treatments is often recommended for optimal results.

4. Does microneedling help with acne scars?

Yes. Microneedling is one of the most effective non-laser treatments for acne scarring because it stimulates new collagen remodeling in deeper layers of the skin.

5. Can microneedling help with active acne?

Microneedling is not performed over active cystic acne. However, it can significantly reduce inflammation, texture irregularities, and post-acne hyperpigmentation once breakouts have stabilized.

6. What is the downtime after a microneedling treatment?

Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience mild redness for 12–48 hours. Makeup and normal activities can usually resume the following day.

7. Do you offer microneedling with peptides or growth factors?

Yes. We enhance results using medical-grade serums such as peptides, copper peptides, hyaluronic acid, and targeted anti-inflammatory post-procedure treatments.

8. Can microneedling be combined with other therapies?

Yes. Microneedling pairs exceptionally well with:

• Red Light Therapy (PBM)
• Lymphatic drainage
• Functional medicine for skin health
• Acupuncture for circulation and inflammation
• Anti-inflammatory nutrition protocols

9. Is microneedling good for melasma or sun damage?

Yes. Because microneedling is non-heat-based, it is often safer than many laser options for melasma, sunspots, and pigmentation concerns.

10. Is microneedling safe for sensitive or reactive skin?

Yes. Microneedling is often well tolerated by sensitive or reactive skin because it does not rely on heat or aggressive resurfacing. Treatment depth, needle selection, and post-care protocols are customized to minimize inflammation and support barrier repair.

11. Can microneedling improve fine lines and early signs of aging?

Yes. Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production, which helps soften fine lines, improve skin firmness, and enhance overall skin texture and tone when performed consistently.

12. How long do microneedling results last?

Results build over time as collagen remodels. With proper skin care and maintenance treatments, improvements can last several months to over a year. Periodic maintenance sessions help sustain results.

13. Does microneedling help with enlarged pores or uneven texture?

Yes. By promoting collagen remodeling, microneedling can visibly refine pore appearance and smooth uneven skin texture over time.

14. Is microneedling safe during perimenopause or menopause?

Yes. Microneedling is especially beneficial during hormonal transitions when collagen production declines. Treatment supports skin regeneration without the risks associated with heat-based devices.

15. Can microneedling support skin health from the inside out?

Yes. Skin health is influenced by inflammation, gut health, hormones, nutrient status, and oxidative stress. When combined with functional medicine and nutrition support, microneedling outcomes are often enhanced and longer lasting.

16. How is microneedling different from laser resurfacing?

Microneedling stimulates collagen mechanically rather than with heat. This makes it safer for a wider range of skin tones, reduces the risk of pigmentation changes, and allows for shorter downtime.

17. How do you personalize microneedling treatments?

Treatment depth, frequency, serums, and recovery support are customized based on skin type, goals, sensitivity, hormonal status, and overall health. This ensures optimal results with minimal irritation.

18. Do you provide skincare recommendations to support microneedling results?

Yes. We provide personalized skincare guidance before and after microneedling to optimize healing, collagen production, and long-term results. Recommendations may include barrier-supportive cleansers, targeted serums, antioxidants, peptides, and anti-inflammatory products selected based on skin type, sensitivity, and treatment goals.

19. Should I change my skincare routine before or after microneedling?

Yes. Certain products may need to be paused before treatment, and post-procedure care is carefully structured to support healing and prevent irritation. You will receive clear guidance on what to avoid and what to use to promote optimal recovery and results.

20. Can nutrition or supplements improve microneedling outcomes?

Yes. Collagen production and skin repair are influenced by nutrient status, inflammation, gut health, and hormonal balance. When appropriate, nutrition and supplement support may be recommended to enhance skin regeneration and improve the durability of results.

21. Do you recommend clean, non-toxic skincare products?

Yes. Skin is a highly absorptive organ, and many conventional skincare products contain endocrine-disrupting or inflammatory ingredients that can interfere with healing and collagen production. We prioritize guidance toward clean, non-toxic skincare options that are free from ingredients such as BPA, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, and other unnecessary chemical additives.

Using cleaner formulations supports skin barrier health, reduces inflammatory burden, and aligns with a whole-body approach to skin health—especially during regenerative treatments like microneedling.

22. Is microneedling painful?

Most patients describe microneedling as very tolerable. A topical numbing agent is used prior to treatment to minimize discomfort. Sensation varies by treatment depth and individual sensitivity, but treatments are generally well tolerated.

23. How soon can I wear makeup after microneedling?

Makeup is typically avoided for the first 24 hours to allow the skin barrier to recover. After that, mineral-based or non-comedogenic products are recommended initially to reduce irritation.

24. Are there any contraindications for microneedling?

Microneedling may not be appropriate for individuals with active skin infections, uncontrolled acne flares, certain autoimmune skin conditions, or impaired wound healing. A thorough intake ensures treatment is appropriate and safe.

25. Can microneedling help with stretch marks or body scarring?

Yes. Microneedling can stimulate collagen remodeling in areas with stretch marks or scars on the body. Treatment plans are customized based on location, skin thickness, and goals.

26. What should I avoid after microneedling?

Patients are advised to avoid excessive sun exposure, saunas, intense exercise, harsh skincare products, and chemical exfoliants for several days post-treatment. Specific aftercare guidance is provided to support healing.

27. How does microneedling support long-term skin health?

By stimulating collagen, improving circulation, and enhancing cellular turnover, microneedling supports skin resilience over time. When combined with clean skincare, nutrition, and functional medicine support, it contributes to healthier aging of the skin.
