Why Microneedling at Afterglow Skin Studio = a Collagen Dream Come True

Let’s talk about micro-channeling, aka collagen induction therapy, aka that little ritual where your skin gets just the right amount of tough love to bounce back even better.

If you’re craving brighter, bouncier, smoother skin, micro-channeling is your new favorite treatment. It works by creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing process; cue collagen, elastin, and that coveted glow-from-within energy.


But wait, it gets better:

At Afterglow Skin Studio, we don’t stop at needling alone. We pair this powerful treatment with next level serums that amplify your results and leave your skin feeling like it just came back from a week at a cellular wellness retreat.

Let’s meet the power players in your skin’s glow-up journey:


COSMEDIX Pepoxide: The Antioxidant Powerhouse

Think of Pepoxide as your skin’s daily green juice, packed with a cocktail of peptides and antioxidants that work overtime to protect, correct, and restore. It’s the perfect wingman for micro-channeling, calming irritation and encouraging a smooth, radiant recovery.

  • Helps strengthen skin’s barrier

  • Reduces visible signs of aging

  • Shields against environmental stressors

  • Supports overall resilience post-treatment


COSMEDIX Cell ID: The Cellular Rejuvenator

This one’s a multitasking miracle. Cell ID is loaded with growth factors, amino acids, and powerful peptides that help rebuild skin from the inside out. Pair it with micro-channeling and you’ve got the ultimate duo for age-defying, skin smoothing magic.

  • Targets lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness

  • Speeds up cell turnover

  • Boosts collagen + elastin synthesis

  • Improves skin tone and texture


OSMOSIS StemFactor: The Gold Standard of Growth Factors

If your skin could write a love letter, it would be to StemFactor. This serum delivers over 600 biomimetic growth factors and proteins derived from stem cells. Basically, a cellular GPS system to help your skin regenerate in record time.

  • Promotes healing and deep regeneration

  • Ideal for aging, sun damaged, or compromised skin

  • Encourages smoother, more refined skin texture

  • Minimizes downtime post-needling

Microneedling on Its Own: The Holy Grail of Skin Renewal

Micro-channeling is like whispering sweet nothings to your dermis… and your skin actually listens. Even without its serum sidekicks, micro-channeling is a skin savior for:

  • Fine lines + wrinkles

  • Acne scars + texture irregularities

  • Enlarged pores

  • Dullness + uneven tone

  • Stretch marks and crepey skin

It’s amazing for almost everyone—from those looking to age gracefully to those just wanting to boost glow and texture. Best of all? There’s little downtime and major long-term payoff with consistent sessions.

But Let’s Be Real—It’s Not for Everyone

While microneedling is a game-changer for many, there are a few reasons we might hold off:

  • Active acne or open wounds

  • Skin infections (like cold sores or fungal issues)

  • Pregnancy (unless cleared by your doctor)

  • Blood clotting disorders or certain medications

  • Recent Accutane use (within 6–12 months)

Not sure if you’re a candidate? I’ve got you. Every treatment begins with a skin consultation to make sure we’re tailoring it to your skin’s needs and goals.

The Afterglow Effect

At Afterglow Skin Studio, microneedling isn’t just a treatment—it’s a transformation. With the right serums and the right technique, we don’t just resurface skin. We revive it.
