Benefits of
Microneedling
Microneedling is one of the most versatile skin treatments available, effectively targeting wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, loose skin, hyperpigmentation, and even hair loss caused by alopecia.
By stimulating your body’s natural collagen and elastin production, it delivers real, lasting improvements from within — without the need for surgery or significant downtime. The micro-channels created during treatment also allow medical-grade topicals like Vitamin C and tretinoin to absorb deeper into the skin, amplifying your results.
Microneedling pairs seamlessly with other rejuvenation treatments like PRP for even greater outcomes. Best of all, each session takes just 20 to 30 minutes, is virtually painless thanks to topical numbing cream, and requires little to no recovery time — making it an ideal treatment for even the busiest schedule.
Award-Winning Treatment
The SkinPen Precision is an award-winning, FDA-cleared microneedling device —and the first of its kind to receive FDA clearance for the treatment of facial acne scars — trusted by skincare professionals across the country for its precision, safety, and proven results.
What Skin Concerns Does Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling is one of the most versatile skin rejuvenation treatments available. At Innovative MedSpa, we use it to address a wide range of common skin concerns, including:
Acne Scars — Microneedling breaks up scar tissue beneath the skin’s surface and encourages the growth of new, healthy collagen, visibly reducing the appearance of both shallow and deeper acne scarring over a series of treatments.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles — By stimulating your skin’s natural repair process, microneedling plumps and firms the skin from within — softening crow’s feet, forehead lines, and smile lines without injectables.
Uneven Skin Tone & Hyperpigmentation — The controlled micro-injuries created during treatment help resurface the skin and fade dark spots, sun damage, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation for a more even complexion.
Large Pores — Microneedling tightens the surrounding skin structure, which makes enlarged pores appear smaller and less visible over time.
Loose or Crepey Skin — As collagen and elastin production ramp up following treatment, skin becomes noticeably firmer and more elastic — especially effective on the neck, décolletage, and around the jawline.
Stretch Marks — The same collagen-stimulating mechanism that treats facial scarring can improve the texture and color of stretch marks on the body.
Microneedling with PRP
Enhance Your Results: Microneedling with PRP
For clients looking to maximize their results, we offer microneedling combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) — sometimes called a “vampire facial.” After your microneedling treatment, PRP derived from your own blood is applied directly to the skin. The micro-channels created by the SkinPen allow the PRP to penetrate deeply, amplifying the skin’s natural healing response and accelerating collagen production.
This combination is especially popular for clients targeting persistent acne scarring, advanced signs of aging, or overall skin revitalization.

What Can I Expect from a Microneedling Treatment?
The targeted area is cleaned with an antiseptic or disinfectant. A numbing cream is applied thirty minutes prior to the treatment to avoid any discomfort during the procedure. The SkinPen is gently moved around the face to create tiny holes on your skin’s surface. Several overlapping passes are made based on the depth of the skin condition. After-treatment care is given to you to avoid any side effects.
The SkinPen offers different treatments for different issues:
- Shallow depth microneedling: The needles are approximately 0.5 mm thick and are used for treating fine lines, pores, texture, and minor scarring. It is used for penetrating solutions and improving thin skin.
- Medium depth microneedling: The needles are approximately 1.0 mm thick and are used for fine lines, mild scarring, and stretch marks. It enables deeper penetration of solutions.
- Deeper depth microneedling: The needles are approximately 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm thick and are used to treat deep acne scars, stretch marks, deep wrinkles, surgical and traumatic scars, enlarged pores, and texture. It enables the deepest penetration of solutions.
