Stimulate your skin’s natural regenerative power with Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT). At Lume Aesthetics in Brandon, MS, our medical-grade microneedling smooths fine lines, tightens enlarged pores, and diminishes stubborn acne scars—revealing firmer, glowing, youthful skin.
At Lume Aesthetics Med Spa, we utilize FDA-cleared, medical-grade microneedling technology with ultra-fine, sterile surgical needles. Our experienced medical aesthetic practitioners customize depth and speed for your unique skin tone and concerns, delivering maximum collagen stimulation with minimal discomfort and rapid recovery.
Discontinue prescription retinoids (Retin-A/Tretinoin), AHAs/BHAs, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid 3 to 5 days before treatment.
Avoid sunburns, excessive sun exposure, and tanning beds for at least 7–10 days prior to treatment.
Ensure a minimum of 2 weeks between neurotoxin (Botox) or dermal filler treatments and your microneedling session.
Avoid NSAIDs, aspirin, fish oil, and Vitamin E for 3 days prior (if medically permitted) to minimize pinpoint bruising.
Drink plenty of water and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on the day of your appointment.
Inform our aesthetician of any active acne flare-ups, open lesions, or history of cold sores prior to beginning.
We cleanse your skin thoroughly and apply a medical-grade topical anesthetic for 20–30 minutes to ensure a completely comfortable session.
Our specialist sets precise needle penetration depths (0.5mm to 2.5mm) based on specific facial zones and skin concerns.
A concentrated hyaluronic acid and peptide serum is applied to glide smoothly while infusing restorative hydration deep into the micro-channels.
We finish with a soothing post-treatment mask and a protective peptide barrier to immediately calm and hydrate the skin.
Skin may feel warm, tight, and look lightly flushed for 12–24 hours. This is normal and a sign of active collagen stimulation.
Allow micro-channels to fully close before applying foundation or makeup. Use clean brushes when resuming.
Use only mild, non-foaming cleansers and hydrating hyaluronic acid serums or gentle barrier balms for 5 days.
Avoid vigorous workouts, saunas, steam rooms, hot showers, and swimming pools for 48 hours to prevent irritation.
Protect fresh collagen by wearing broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen every single day, avoiding direct sun exposure.
