The treatment
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling treatment is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a specialized device to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These tiny needle pricks trigger the body’s natural healing response, stimulating new collagen production and helping to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and the appearance of scars—all with minimal downtime.
As the device glides over the skin, the needle tips create microscopic channels without tearing the tissue. These micro-channels not only initiate collagen remodeling but also enhance the absorption of topical serums applied during the session, allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper for greater results. Microneedling treatment is safe for all skin types and offers a natural, effective way to rejuvenate and refine the skin’s texture.
The device we use
SkinPen® Precision
We use SkinPen® Precision by Crown Aesthetics — the first FDA-cleared microneedling device (2018), and the first and only microneedling device cleared for use on both the face and the neck.
Treatment takes about 30 minutes depending on the area treated, with little to no downtime, and results last up to six months. Sterile single-use cartridges prevent cross-contamination.
Cleared for acne scars
Cleared for improving the appearance of facial acne scars in patients 22 and older (FDA De Novo DEN160029, Class II, Regulation 878.4430, Product Code QAI).
Cleared for neck wrinkles
Cleared for improving the appearance of wrinkles on the neck (FDA 510(k) K202243), safe to a depth of up to 2.5 mm on the neck.
94% noticed improvement
In the neck clinical study, 94% of patients noticed improvement in their wrinkles one month post-procedure.
88% were satisfied
In the same study, 88% of patients were satisfied one month post-procedure.
Individual results may vary. Improvements to pore size, tone, texture, hyperpigmentation and fine lines are general benefits of microneedling and are not FDA-cleared indications.

843-707-0006Microneedling treatment is a cosmetic procedure that uses a device with ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin, helping to rejuvenate the skin, improve texture, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a proven, non-invasive technique for enhancing overall skin health. It’s suitable for all skin types and effective in treating a range of concerns—from early signs of aging to acne scars.
Microneedling treatment works by using a handheld device equipped with fine, medical-grade needles to create microchannels in the skin. As the device glides across the surface, these tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production.
The controlled micro-injuries cause a mild immune response that leads to new collagen generation. These microchannels also allow for deeper absorption of topical serums applied during the procedure, enhancing their effectiveness and delivering more noticeable results.
Microneedling treatment is considered safe for all skin types and is recognized by the American Academy of Dermatology Association for its effectiveness in improving a wide range of skin concerns. It minimizes the risk of post-treatment hyperpigmentation and can help address uneven skin texture, fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, stretch marks, and early signs of aging.
A personalized consultation can help determine if microneedling treatment is the best option for your skin goals.
Microneedling treatment delivers excellent results with minimal downtime, making it a top choice for those seeking natural-looking skin rejuvenation. This minimally invasive procedure is quick, safe for all skin types, and enhances collagen and elastin production.
Additional benefits include improved absorption of skincare products, a short recovery period, and the flexibility to pair microneedling with other treatments for even greater results.
Microneedling treatment may cause slight discomfort, often described as a mild pricking or tingling sensation. Most patients tolerate it well, especially with the use of a topical anesthetic applied beforehand to ensure maximum comfort. For those with sensitive skin, numbing cream helps make the experience virtually painless.
While at-home microneedling kits are available, they are far less effective and carry greater risks compared to professional microneedling treatment. Improper technique or lack of sterilization can lead to skin damage, irritation, or even infection. For safe and optimal results, microneedling should always be performed by a licensed and trained professional.
