What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a non-surgical system that stimulates your skin’s natural ability to heal by the production of collagen. Microneedling uses 9 micro-needles to create thousands of invisible, vertical perforations into the epidermis and top layer of the dermis. As a result, the skin naturally produces collagen and elastin to repair these perforations, reducing wrinkles, reducing pore size, and improving skin texture.

Microneedling involves no surgery or anesthesia, minimal downtime, and quick results. It is a versatile treatment that can be performed on the face, neck, hands, or chest and offer patients a variety of benefits that include:

  • Tighter skin
  • Regained skin elasticity
  • Minimized pores
  • Smoothed fine lines and wrinkles
  • Improved scars, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation
  • Reduced appearance of stretch marks

Microneedling Combo Packages

Experience the transformative power of microneedling combined with complementary treatments to maxime results. Our carefully designed packages address a range of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars and uneven texture.

Microneedling with PRP

Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is a combination treatment that promotes cell proliferation by using the patient’s own blood.

After creating micro-channels through Microneedling, PRP is placed back into the skin promoting growth factors to increase the production of collagen and elastin. As a result, the skin gets rejuvenated looking tighter, smoother, and healthier.


PRP is technically a concentrate of plasma with many more platelets than what is typically found in blood. This concentration of growth factors can be 5 times greater (or richer) than usual, fostering healing of the skin at a more rapid rate. This ability promotes skin regeneration and the resurfacing of younger-looking skin.

What are the treatment benefits?

Microneedling with PRP not only delivers rejuvenated and healthier-looking skin, but it also addresses the following signs of aging:

  • Minimizes pore size and improves skin texture
  • Improves acne scarring
  • Boosts collagen and elastin production
  • Firms the skin and improves skin elasticity
  • Combats skin laxity and crappy skin
  • Treats fine lines and wrinkles
  • Stimulates circulation, addressing dark circles
  • Brightens the skin complexion and improves skin tone

The addition of PRP to microneedling produces superior results over microneedling alone and with very little downtime. It’s perfect for patients looking for toxin alternative treatments since this procedure uses the patient’s own blood.


Microneedling with PRFM

Microneedling with Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix (PRFM) is a combination treatment that delivers skin rejuvenation by using the patient’s own blood.


First, the Microneedling creates micro-injuries that then allow for the platelets to release a variety of growth factors that respond to the tissue micro-injuries. These growth factors then initiate and promote cellular turnover, which is vital in keeping the skin smooth, healthy, and glowing.

How is PRFM different from PRP?

PRFM is the next-generation PRP. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin matrix (PRFM) are both skin rejuvenation treatments that use platelets, but they have some key differences:

  • PRFM contains a higher concentration of platelets and growth factors than PRP. Some say that PRFM contains 10 times more of these biological elements than PRP.
  • Due to its higher concentration of white blood cells and stem cells in the upper platelet layer PRFM can achieve superior results.
  • Also, PRFM is more stable than PRP, which means it lasts longer. PRFM can encourage healing for up to a week.

What are the treatment benefits?

Microneedling with PRFM not only improves the overall health of the skin and leaves you with a smoother complexion, but it also addresses all the signs of aging including:

  • The improvement of acne scarring
  • Minimizing of pore size and improvement of skin texture
  • Treatment of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Combating of skin laxity and crappy skin
  • Boost of collagen and elastin production
  • Firming of the skin and improvement of skin elasticity
  • Brightening of the skin complexion and improvement of skin tone
  • Diminishes the appearance of broken capillaries and other skin irregularities

This treatment allows for a complete facial rejuvenation of the skin with very little downtime. It’s perfect for patients looking for toxin alternative treatments since this procedure uses the patient’s own blood.


Microneedling with PRX

Microneedling with PRX Derm Perfexion is a treatment that combines the collagen production effects of microneedling with the powerful state-of-the-art no-peel exfoliating technology of the PRX treatment.

First, the Microneedling creates micro-channels that then allow the PRX treatment to penetrate deep into the dermis as it is massaged into the skin. One of the great benefits of the PRX treatment is that it does not modify the skin’s protective layer as it only targets the dermis. This provides a safer and more effective skin regenerative process that enhances cell turnover with virtually no peeling.

Who is a good candidate for this combo treatment?

The amazing thing about this combo treatment is that it can be used on all skin types in the Fitzpatrick Scale,1 to 6. It can also be performed all year round as it’s non-photosensitizing, which makes it a great procedure for those seeking to treat hyperpigmentation during the summer months.

What are the benefits of this combo treatment?

Microneedling with PRX not only stimulates collagen and elastin production but also rejuvenates and restores the overall appearance of the skin by:

  • Improving hyperpigmentation and sun damage to the skin
  • Brightening dull skin and delivering a more even skin tone
  • Lifting and firming lax and sagging skin
  • Smoothing texture and minimizing pores
  • Improving the appearance of scars and acne scarring
  • Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

This is a great non-invasive painless procedure with no downtime that delivers amazing long-lasting results.


Botox® Micro Infusion

The Botox® Micro Infusion with PRP combo treatment is a new facial treatment that combines Microneedling with topical Botox® and your Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP).

This treatment deposits the topical Botox® with your PRP deep into your epidermis via tiny openings created by Microneedling. With this method, Botox® does not penetrate the underlying muscle but instead tightens the skin, smooths skin texture, and reduces pore size.

How many Botox® Micro Infusion Facial treatments will I need?

Most patients see amazing results that can last up to 3 months after just one treatment. This combo treatment does not replace a Botox® Cosmetic treatment for wrinkles, and facial or neck aesthetics nor does it replace hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for facial rejuvenation.

What are the benefits of this combo treatment?

The Botox® Micro Infusion with PRP combo treatment will stimulate collagen and elastin production while delivering growth factors and wrinkle-relaxing Botox® into your skin. This technique produces beautiful and natural-looking rejuvenating results along with the following benefits:

  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Minimizes pores and soothes texture
  • Addresses crepey fragile skin
  • Creates soft and plump skin
  • Reduces flushing & redness
  • Minimizes oil production
  • Minimizes excessive sweating

This is an amazing painless procedure with no downtime that delivers immediate long-lasting results.


MicroSculpt

MicroSculpt is the combination of the Microneedling and Sculptra® treatments into a powerful new procedural approach that brings the benefits of both these treatments to new heights through their combination. While both procedures work on their own to stimulate collagen production in the dermis, their united efforts boost each other’s effects, bringing complete face and neck rejuvenation.

How does it work?

First, the Microneedling creates micro-channels that allow topical Sculptra® to deeply penetrate the dermis as it is massaged into the skin, like a powerful serum. Sculptra® then further stimulates your natural collagen production to restore structures and smooth folds and lines over time. The synergy of both treatments offers the following benefits:

  • Magnifies the youth-restoring effects of collagen and elastin
  • Increases volume and elasticity
  • Delivers a smooth and plump complexion
  • Tones and firms’ lax skin
  • Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
  • Leaves you with a glowing complexion

How long will the results last?

The beauty of MicroSculpt is its enduring impact. While other treatments may require frequent maintenance, the result of this combined approach can last for months. The Sculptra® effects of this treatment continue to improve over time, making it an excellent choice for individuals seeking a sustained anti-aging solution.

In addition, this is a great non-invasive painless procedure with no downtime that is perfect for those not ready for injectables who seek the double benefits of this treatment combination.

Microneedling FAQs

Microneedling treatment benefits all skin types. Anyone who is concerned with fine lines and wrinkles, large pores, skin irregularities, acne scarring, mild stretch marks, mild to moderate loose skin or overall skin health is a candidate for micro-needling.

To keep you comfortable during the Rejuvapen treatment, a topical numbing gel (lidocaine) is applied 20 minutes prior to microneedling. Temporary redness occurs after each treatment and deeper treatments may produce temporary pinpoint bleeding both which typically resolve within 24 – 48 hours.

Gels and growth factor serums are applied during the microneedling treatment which promotes better absorption into the skin. Growth factors help shorten healing time and optimize procedure outcomes with visible improvement often in 24 hours. The Rejuvapen treatment is designed to produce tighter, smoother skin, and a more youthful appearance.

Any patient with an active infection, Hepatitis or any other viral infection should not have treatment. If you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant then you should not have treatment. Anyone with a bleeding disorder is not a candidate for this treatment. Patients need to stop using Retin-A at least 2 weeks prior to treatment. If you scar easily, have a history of keloids or fever blisters, you shouldn’t have treatment without fully discussing your medical history with your esthetician prior to treatment. No one with a recent sunburn and no one who has received treatment for an autoimmune disease within 72 hours should have treatment. If you have any of these issues, alternative options for skin treatment can be determined and reviewed.

To achieve the best results we recommend 3-4 treatments at 4-week intervals. Additional treatments may be necessary or desired depending on skin condition, and follow-up treatments may be considered 3-4 months later depending on how your skin ages.
