While the concept is simple—using tiny, controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen—the technology behind those treatments has evolved dramatically. We use the Candela Exceed®, an FDA-cleared medical microneedling device that delivers consistently precise treatments for acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin rejuvenation.

How Microneedling Works

Every microneedling treatment relies on the skin's remarkable ability to repair itself.

Ultra-fine sterile needles create thousands of microscopic channels within the skin, triggering a natural wound-healing cascade. Your body responds by producing fresh collagen, elastin, and new healthy tissue—improving texture, softening scars, refining pores, and restoring firmness over time.

The process is entirely your body's own biology.

Why We Chose Candela Exceed

The Candela Exceed was the first microneedling device to receive FDA clearance for the treatment of both acne scars and facial wrinkles, and it's trusted worldwide for its consistency, safety, and predictable results.

Unlike many consumer or cosmetic microneedling devices, Exceed delivers controlled needle depth with exceptional accuracy, allowing us to customize every treatment to your skin rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

Microneedling Alone vs. Regenerative Microneedling.

Depending on your skin goals, we may pair your treatment with regenerative therapies like PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) or Exosomes to further support collagen production, calm inflammation, and accelerate recovery.

PRF is created from your own blood and contains a concentrated blend of platelets, growth factors, and healing proteins that naturally support tissue repair.

Exosomes function as cellular messengers, helping direct communication between skin cells during the healing process while supporting collagen remodeling and improving overall skin quality.

What Recovery Looks Like

Immediately after treatment, expect your skin to feel warm and appear flushed—similar to a moderate sunburn.

Most redness subsides within 24–48 hours, with many patients comfortably returning to normal activities the following day. As collagen remodeling continues beneath the surface, your skin gradually becomes smoother, firmer, brighter, and more refined over the following weeks.

When Will I See Results?

You'll often notice improved texture and radiance within the first few weeks.

Collagen remodeling continues for approximately three months after each treatment, with the most dramatic improvements developing gradually as your skin rebuilds itself from within.

For acne scarring or significant collagen loss, we typically recommend a series of 3–4 treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart.

Is Microneedling Right For You?

Microneedling is one of the most versatile treatments we offer.

It's ideal for:

• Acne scars

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Enlarged pores

• Uneven skin texture

• Early skin laxity

• Surgical or traumatic scars

• Overall collagen maintenance

Every treatment begins with a consultation to determine whether microneedling alone—or a regenerative combination with PRF or exosomes—will give you the most beautiful result.
