The Biological Phases:
Phase 1: Inflammatory Response (0-48 hours)
Immediately after the microchannels are created, the body initiates an inflammatory response. This involves platelet activation and the release of growth factors such as PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF, and EGF.
Collagen Impact:
- The high number of microchannels leads to greater release of pro-collagen signaling molecules.
- Sets the stage for stronger fibroblast activity and more profound tissue regeneration.
This is where we see the flushing and pinpoint bleeding that practitioners monitor visually—it’s a signal that healing has begun.
Phase 2: Proliferation (2 – 7 days)
Fibroblasts and keratinocytes multiply rapidly to form a new extracellular matrix (ECM). Collagen I and III, elastin, and hyaluronic acid are actively synthesized. Due to the high number of microchannels created by the MDPen Ultra it can be concluded that the collagen production will be higher than during traditional microneedling.
Collagen Impact:
- Greater microchannel density leads to higher fibroblast recruitment and more abundant early collagen (type III).
- Improved vascularization helps support long-term collagen remodeling.
Practitioner Insight: Uniformity in device speed, overlap, and pressure contributes directly to the quality of ECM rebuilding.
Phase 3: Remodeling (1 week – 6 months)
New collagen fibers realign along natural tension lines, forming a more structured and elastic dermis. Collagen III is reorganized into stronger Collagen I. Skin structure tightens, scars smooth out, and pigmentation evens out. Epidermal barrier fully restores, and dermal architecture strengthens over time.
Collagen Impact:
- Enhanced collagen turnover due to a larger treatment area and longer-lasting fibroblast activity.
- Results in thicker, firmer, more resilient skin compared to traditional microneedling.
- Cumulative treatments compound this effect, often delivering visible improvements in fewer sessions.
This is where the transformation becomes visible—lasting changes in the skin’s architecture occur during this phase.

The Role of Collagen in Youthful Skin
Collagen is the protein that keeps our skin smooth, firm, and elastic. But starting in our mid-20s, we lose about 1% of collagen every year—and the signs are easy to spot:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sagging skin
- Enlarged pores and dullness
Rebuilding collagen is the key to reversing these signs of aging—and microneedling is one of the most effective ways to do it.
