Microneedling
with LED Light Therapy
Collagen Induction Therapy using fine medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. This precision wounding triggers the body's natural cascade of collagen and elastin production. Paired with LED light therapy — which supports healing, reduces inflammation, and enhances results — this treatment visibly transforms skin texture, tone, and firmness over a series of sessions.
Treatment Overview
What is Microneedling with LED Light Therapy?
Microneedling — also known as Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) — is one of the most scientifically validated, results-driven treatments in modern esthetics. Using a precision medical-grade device fitted with ultra-fine needles, the treatment creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries are invisible to the eye but profoundly effective — they trigger the skin's natural wound-healing cascade, stimulating a significant increase in collagen and elastin production.
At Peach & Fox, every Microneedling session is paired with LED Light Therapy — a powerful adjunct that uses clinically proven wavelengths of light to reduce post-treatment inflammation, accelerate healing, and enhance the overall cellular response. Red LED wavelengths penetrate deep to stimulate fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis. The result is a treatment that is both more comfortable and more effective than microneedling alone.
Over a series of sessions, clients experience a visible transformation in skin texture, tone, pore size, and firmness — including significant improvement in acne scarring, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and early skin laxity. It is safe and effective for all skin tones, making it one of the most inclusive advanced treatments available.

Who is This Treatment For?
Microneedling with LED is one of the most universally effective treatments we offer — appropriate for nearly all skin types and tones (Fitzpatrick I–VI). It is particularly transformative for clients dealing with:
- Acne scarring and post-acne hyperpigmentation
- Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores
- Fine lines, early wrinkles, and loss of firmness
- Sun damage and melasma (with appropriate protocol)
- Stretch marks and skin laxity
- Dull, sluggish skin with poor regenerative activity
- Clients wanting long-term skin quality improvement
- Anyone who has plateaued with topical skincare alone
Note: Microneedling is not recommended for active acne breakouts, open wounds, certain skin conditions, or during pregnancy. Kat will conduct a thorough consultation prior to your first session to confirm candidacy.
Your Experience
What to Expect
Consultation & Pre-Treatment Prep
Your first session begins with a detailed skin consultation. Kat assesses your skin, confirms candidacy, and establishes the appropriate needle depth and protocol for your specific concerns.
Numbing & Cleanse
A topical numbing cream is applied and left to take effect for 20–30 minutes, ensuring your comfort throughout the treatment. The skin is then cleansed and prepped.
Microneedling Protocol
The medical-grade microneedling device is moved across the skin in controlled passes at the calibrated depth. A specialized serum is applied during treatment for simultaneous infusion through the micro-channels.
LED Light Therapy
Following microneedling, LED light therapy is applied for 10–15 minutes. Red and near-infrared wavelengths penetrate to calm inflammation, boost cellular repair, and amplify collagen stimulation.
Recovery Serum & SPF
A soothing, barrier-supporting serum and SPF are applied to close out the session. You'll leave with a rosy, healthy glow — redness typically subsides within 24–48 hours.
Post-Treatment
Aftercare & Results
Microneedling involves a short recovery period. Redness and mild sensitivity are normal for 24–48 hours following treatment — similar in appearance to a moderate sunburn. Some clients experience mild skin texture changes (micro-flaking) in the days following, which is a sign of the skin's active renewal process.
For 48–72 hours post-treatment: avoid direct sun exposure, makeup, retinoids, strong acids, and sweating. Keep skincare gentle and hydrating. SPF is non-negotiable when going outside.
Visible improvements in texture and tone typically appear 4–6 weeks post-treatment as collagen remodeling occurs. For acne scarring and significant texture concerns, a series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart delivers the most transformative outcomes. For maximum results, many clients combine Microneedling with our Microneedling + Microdermabrasion Combo or follow with a Hydro Facial as a healing accelerator.
