What microneedling treats
- Acne scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Enlarged pores and rough texture
- Uneven skin tone
- Stretch marks
How it works
A microneedling device makes tiny, controlled channels in the skin. Your skin responds by making new collagen, which improves texture and firmness over the following weeks.
SkinPen microneedling
SkinPen® is an FDA-cleared microneedling device. It suits most skin types and has little downtime. It can be combined with PRP, platelet-rich plasma prepared from a small sample of your own blood.
PiXel8-RF microneedling
PiXel8-RF adds radiofrequency energy to microneedling to reach deeper layers of the skin. It’s used for loose skin, deeper acne scars and stretch marks on the face, neck, chest or body.
What to expect
A numbing cream keeps you comfortable during treatment. Afterward, your skin may look red and feel like a mild sunburn for one to three days, so protect it from the sun while it heals.
Most people get the best results from a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. We’ll recommend a plan at your consultation. Individual results vary.
