Microneedling

Collagen induction therapy that smooths texture, refines pores, and softens scars.

About Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates controlled micro-channels in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. The Rejuvapen handpiece is used to precisely control depth, pattern, and intensity for fine lines, pores, scars, and stretch marks — and can be paired with PRP or AfterGlo with Glowpin for enhanced results.

  • Safe for all skin tones year-round

How It Works

  1. 01

    Numbing

    Topical numbing is applied for 20 to 30 minutes for patient comfort.

  2. 02

    Rejuvapen Treatment

    The Rejuvapen handpiece creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries at precisely controlled depth, spacing, and frequency — activating natural collagen production.

  3. 03

    Optional Layer

    PRP, growth factor serum, Rejuran, or the AfterGlo glow-boosting infusion can be applied to the open channels for amplified results.

What to Expect

  • 30- to 60-minute total visit depending on layered serums
  • 24 to 48 hours of mild redness; pinpoint marks fade within a day
  • Visible improvement within days; continued improvement over weeks
  • Best results from a series of 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart
  • Repeated as often as every 6 weeks or as little as 2 to 3 times per year

Pricing

Microneedling is priced by treatment area — focal sessions for localized concerns and full-face sessions for broader rejuvenation. AfterGlo with Glowpin layers a glow-boosting serum into the procedure for added radiance.

Rejuvapen Microneedling

  • Focal 15-min session for localized areas
    $400
  • Full Face 30-min session

Localized areas (eyes, lips, focal scars, stretch marks) typically require a single session. Full face or broader areas may require a double session; face + neck + chest may require a triple.

    $550
  • Package of 3 Save $150 versus per-session

Microneedling can be layered with your own Platelet-Rich Plasma for enhanced collagen response and faster recovery. See our PRP Therapies page for full combination pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is microneedling different from RF microneedling?

Standard microneedling creates micro-injury that triggers collagen production at the surface. RF microneedling (Morpheus8 or Fractora) adds radiofrequency heat for deeper dermal remodeling and skin tightening. Microneedling is gentler with shorter recovery; RF microneedling is more powerful but requires more downtime.

What’s AfterGlo?

AfterGlo is a glow-boosting serum infused into the skin via the Glowpin device during microneedling. It’s priced at $550 for a single session or $1,500 for a package of three.

Is microneedling painful?

Topical numbing is applied for 20 to 30 minutes before treatment. Most patients describe the sensation as mild prickling or scratching, well-tolerated.

How many treatments do I need?

Most patients begin with 3 to 4 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every few months. Acne scars and stretch marks may require more sessions.

Can I wear makeup after microneedling?

We recommend waiting 24 hours before applying makeup to allow the channels to close. Mineral makeup is preferred during the first 48 hours.

What can I add to microneedling?

Microneedling pairs beautifully with PRP (PRP + microneedling protocol is $1,400), growth factor serums, Rejuran (post-procedure layering), and AfterGlo. Your dermatologist will recommend the right add-ons for your goals.

When will I see results?

Mild glow is visible within days. Visible improvement in tone and texture builds over the following weeks, with full results at 3 months.
