Microneedling uses fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin, allowing growth factors and collagen to penetrate deeply. As your skin heals, you'll notice a smoother texture, even tone, and radiant glow. The increase in collagen helps rejuvenate your appearance, making it look more youthful and vibrant.
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to activate your skin's natural healing response and refine overall tone and texture.
Its effectiveness comes from stimulating fresh collagen and elastin. In youth, a dense, springy layer of collagen supports your features, creating smooth, lifted contours. Over time, that cushion thins, and your complexion begins to show the effects of volume loss.
With less structural support, skin can droop into folds, lines, and wrinkles, and any uneven texture becomes more visible. Hollows may appear beneath the eyes and through the midface. Because the body slows its own collagen production with age, targeted stimulation from microneedling in Brentwood at Marvel Cosmetic Medspa helps encourage renewal where your skin needs it most.
Microneedling works by jump-starting new collagen production for smoother, firmer, more radiant skin.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a concentrated solution made from a small sample of your own blood.
The sample is placed in a centrifuge, which spins rapidly to separate the fluid portion of the blood from the solid components. The platelets are then collected and mixed back into the clear plasma. Platelets are essential for blood clotting and are packed with growth factors that support tissue repair and regeneration.
PRP enhances your body's natural healing response and helps calm inflammation. When combined with microneedling, PRP encourages fresh collagen production, minimizes swelling, and speeds overall recovery. Each tiny channel created by the microneedling device serves as a pathway, delivering PRP into deeper layers of the skin, where it can more effectively improve texture, firmness, and fine lines.
Microneedling uses a specialized handpiece fitted with ultra-fine, sterile needles to create precise microchannels in the skin.
At Marvel Cosmetic MedSpa, we perform microneedling with the advanced SkinPen system to help jump-start your skin's natural renewal process.
To keep you comfortable, your session begins with a topical numbing cream. Your Marvel provider then gently passes the microneedling device over the face, neck, hands, or other areas of concern, creating microscopic channels. Your body responds by increasing circulation and nutrient delivery to the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production and supporting regenerative healing.
The result is improved firmness, smoother texture, and a more refined overall appearance. Microneedling can be an excellent alternative or complement to laser treatments and chemical peels, particularly for individuals with deeper skin tones or sensitivities.
You might notice mild pressure or slight sensitivity, but downtime is typically minimal, and most redness fades within a few hours. Many patients enhance their results by pairing microneedling with platelet-rich plasma or hyaluronic acid serums to support faster healing and deeper rejuvenation.
Microneedling is a versatile treatment that targets multiple skin concerns at once, including:
Because it can tackle several concerns in one session, microneedling is an efficient, results-driven option.
Microneedling is often an excellent choice for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
At Marvel Cosmetic MedSpa, our skilled team employs advanced microneedling techniques to rejuvenate your skin. This treatment boosts collagen production, reduces fine lines, and minimizes scars for a smoother complexion.
Microneedling works well for most skin tones and types, including sensitive and oily skin. It is ideal if you want smoother texture, softer scars, or help with early signs of aging. It is generally not advised for anyone with active acne, open wounds, an autoimmune disease, or recent cosmetic procedures, as these can increase the risk of complications.
A one-on-one consultation will determine whether this medical treatment is appropriate for your skin.

Yes. Microneedling is generally considered safe for most darker skin tones. It can help soften hyperpigmentation, refine texture, and minimize scars with a lower risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation compared with many laser procedures, when performed by a trained professional.
Most clients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 microneedling sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. This schedule supports gradual collagen production to smooth uneven skin texture, soften scars, and enhance overall tone and radiance.
Microneedling is most effective for post-acne scarring rather than active breakouts. Treatment should be performed on calm, non-inflamed skin to support healthy wound healing, reduce the risk of irritation, and maximize collagen induction.
Allow at least 24 hours before applying makeup after microneedling. Your provider may recommend gentle topical treatments and hydrating moisturizers to support the initial healing phase and protect the skin barrier.
Skin is more photosensitive after microneedling. Limit direct sun exposure, seek shade when possible, and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect healing skin and maintain your improved skin results.
