You may experience redness and swelling similar to a sunburn after undergoing microneedling in Fort Collins. We suggest following your aftercare instructions and waiting for the symptoms to dissipate.
Transform Your Skin With Microneedling
Have you ever had a skin treatment that could do it all? If you have fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, pigmentation issues, or more, getting microneedling in Fort Collins might be right for you.
At Xanadu Med Spa, microneedling works by using small needles to create controlled wounds on the skin’s surface. This triggers a natural healing response that involves the production of collagen and elastin, which help with not one, not two, but every aspect of your skin.

Benefits of Microneedling
Continued Results
While you could see results immediately after treatment, your results will continue to develop in the following weeks.
Minimal Downtime
Out of all the skin treatments we provide, microneedling provides the most benefits with the least amount of downtime.
Fast and Effective
Not only can you achieve amazing skin results, but your appointment for microneedling will only take about 30 minutes.
How It Works
Microneedling uses small needles to create micro-injuries within your epidermis.
We use microneedling in Fort Collins to prompt your body to heal itself, increasing your natural production of collagen and elastin.
Collagen and elastin are the proteins our bodies produce to maintain healthy, youthful skin. By stimulating the production of these proteins, our skin can slowly repair and rebuild itself for a smoother, brighter complexion.
What to Expect
At the beginning of your appointment, we will reduce the risk of skin infection by disinfecting your skin with an alcohol wipe. We’ll have you lie down on the treatment table and begin running the microneedling handpiece over your skin.
Your microneedling session will take about 30 minutes. We apply a topical anesthetic to your skin before your treatment, so your treatment should be completely painless and comfortable.

About Xanadu
When Xanadu was first purchased in 2015, we were a relaxing med spa that offered a handful of injectables and laser hair removal.
We quickly discovered that our clients were looking for more when it came to their beauty and health, and we took the opportunity to grow our skillset and add more technology to our services.
Now, Xanadu offers the largest selection of services not just in Fort Collins, but in the North Denver Area—all to help our clients improve their lives and feel more confident every day.
