Stimulate collagen for firmer, healthier skin
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses precise microchannels to activate your body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, tone, and overall quality over time. Performed with the FDA-cleared SkinPen® device, microneedling helps address fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven tone, and dullness—resulting in smoother, firmer, more luminous skin.
Microneedling is an effective treatment for:
- Fine lines and early wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture
- Acne scars and superficial scarring
- Enlarged pores
- Dull or tired-looking skin
- Uneven skin tone and mild pigmentation
- Sun-damaged skin
- Crepey or thinning skin
Our Microneedling Treatments:
SkinPen® Microneedling:
SkinPen microneedling is ideal for patients seeking gradual, natural skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Using precise, controlled microchannels, this treatment stimulates collagen production to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness while softening fine lines and refining pores. It is an excellent standalone treatment for patients beginning their skin rejuvenation journey.
SkinPen® Microneedling with PRP
Microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) enhances collagen induction by incorporating your body’s own concentrated platelets into the treatment process. After a simple blood draw, the platelet-rich portion is separated and applied to the skin, where it is absorbed through the microchannels created during microneedling. Platelets contain growth factors that play a role in the body’s natural healing response. When combined with microneedling, PRP may support collagen production, improve skin texture and tone, and enhance overall radiance. This option is often recommended for patients with early signs of aging, dullness, fine lines, or delicate under-eye skin quality concerns.
SkinPen® Microneedling with Nanofat
Microneedling with nanofat combines collagen stimulation with the skin-quality benefits of your body’s own fat-derived regenerative components. A small amount of fat is gently harvested and mechanically refined into a liquid emulsion that is rich in growth factors and cellular components that support skin repair and rejuvenation.
Unlike traditional fat grafting, nanofat is not used for volume, but rather to improve skin texture, tone, elasticity, and fine lines, particularly in delicate areas such as the lower eyelids, lips, and neck. This treatment is often recommended for more advanced thinning, crepey skin, or acne scarring and produces gradual, natural, and durable improvements in overall skin quality.
Benefits of microneedling:
- Stimulates natural collagen and elastin production
- Improves skin texture, tone, and firmness
- Softens fine lines and early wrinkles
- Minimizes the appearance of pores
- Enhances overall skin quality and radiance
- Addresses acne scars and textural irregularities
- Safe for most skin types and tones
- Minimal downtime with progressive improvement
Microneedling FAQs
How does microneedling work?
Microneedling uses the SkinPen device to create precise microchannels in the skin, activating your body’s natural repair processes. This stimulates new collagen and elastin formation, leading to smoother texture, more even tone, and stronger, healthier skin over time. When combined with PRP/PRF or nanofat, these regenerative substances are more effectively absorbed, enhancing overall results.
Who is a good candidate for microneedling?
Microneedling is suitable for men and women who want to improve fine lines, uneven texture, acne scars, enlarged pores, dullness, and early skin laxity. An evaluation of your skin type, concerns, and goals will help determine whether standard SkinPen microneedling or a regenerative-enhanced option is best for you.
Does microneedling hurt?
A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to keep you comfortable. Most patients describe the sensation as mild pressure or light scratching.
How many treatments will I need?
A series of 3 or more treatments spaced several weeks apart is commonly recommended. The exact number depends on your skin condition and whether PRP/PRF or nanofat is included. Your treatment plan is fully customized during your consultation.
How long is the downtime?
Most patients experience redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24–72 hours, with mild swelling or sensitivity. Makeup can typically be worn after 24 hours, and most patients return to normal activities within 1–2 days.
What is the difference between PRP/PRF and nanofat?
PRP and PRF use a concentrated portion of your own blood that contains platelets and growth factors involved in the body’s natural healing response, making them well suited for early skin rejuvenation, improved tone, and overall skin vitality. Nanofat is created from your own fat that is mechanically refined into a liquid emulsion containing fat-derived cellular components and growth factors that support skin quality and elasticity. It is often used for more advanced thinning, crepey texture, and areas that benefit from deeper skin quality improvement. These treatments are complementary and may be combined as part of a comprehensive, physician-guided rejuvenation plan.
When will I see the results?
You may notice improved glow and smoother texture within the first week. Collagen remodeling continues over several weeks, with progressive improvement in skin firmness, and quality. The results continue to build over time as collagen production continues.
