Microneedling Treatments

The FDA-approved treatment regimen proven to reduce the look of acne scarring and fine lines.

Help your skin rejuvenate naturally.

Microneedling stimulates your body’s ability to produce collagen and elastin, restoring youthful firmness in your skin.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling treatment is performed with an electric utensil with a disposable tip containing small needles which move up and down to penetrate various layers of the skin. These needles create tiny channels within the skin, triggering the body to produce collagen and elastin during the healing process, resulting in firmer skin.

Before microneedling, a topical numbing agent is applied to maximize comfort, and a soothing serum is used during the session, to deliver nutrients below the skin surface and speed cell regeneration.

Plus there’s minimal downtime for recovery!

Is microneedling right for me?

Microneedling has been proven effective in treating fine lines, acne scarring, and neck wrinkles, in men and women of all skin tones.

In addition, patients also see improvement in overall skin texture, reduction in pore size, evening of skin tone, and reversal of sun damage and dark spots.

We recommend a consultation with us to see if microneedling will provide the results you desire, and customize your comprehensive treatment plan.

Don’t settle for less than the best.

We only use the SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device.

  • SkinPen® uses 12 surgical-grade needles, allowing for more skin coverage in a precise application

  • The patented tip is specially designed to glide across your skin, eliminating the stutter and drag found with other microneedling devices.

  • It’s also made in the USA – which means it’s rigorously tested for safety

Amp up your microneedling session by adding PRF.

Because Melanie is a Physician Assistant, Di Valore can provide an additional benefit to your microneedling session.

A quick blood draw allows us to harvest your own body’s stem cells and serum, specifically extracted to retain the fibrin sheath. This is called platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF.

PRF can be used in place of a topical serum during microneedling, for an all-natural boost that supercharges cellular recovery!

FAQs about microneedling

  • First we’ll apply a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort.

    Then the SkinPen® is smoothed over your skin, with its 12 microneedles moving up and down to penetrate varying depths of your skin.

    The process takes 15-20 minutes to complete, after which a soothing topical cream is applied.

  • Most patients require 4-6 microneedling treatments to see optimal benefits. These treatments are spaced approximately month apart.

  • After the initial healing period, you’ll begin seeing results right away.

    As your body generates more collagen and elastin, these results will improve over time.

  • Patients with sensitive skin may experience slight pain, redness, or bruising after a microneedling treatment. More aggressive treatment protocols may amplify these effects.

    The healing period for microneedling is approximately 2 days, during which we recommend the following:

    • Sleep on your back with your head elevated, to minimize swelling

    • Use a gentle cleanser with tepid water, and pat skin dry

    • Always ensure your hands are clean if you touch your face

    • Avoid saunas and strenuous workouts for 24 hours after treatment
