Enhance your skin's natural rejuvenation process to boost texture, tone, and glow. Microneedling enhances skin vitality by introducing growth factors and collagen through tiny channels made by ultra-fine needles. As your skin repairs itself, it becomes smoother and more youthful, thanks to increased collagen and its healing properties.
Microneedling, also called skin needling or collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic treatment that uses ultra-fine needles to activate your skin's natural repair process and refresh your complexion.
With less structural support, skin can loosen and settle into lines, wrinkles, and folds. Texture concerns become more noticeable, and hollows may appear beneath the eyes or along the cheeks. Without targeted stimulation, your body produces far less collagen on its own, which is why treatments like microneedling can be so beneficial.
By creating precise micro-injuries, microneedling jump-starts new collagen production. In youthful skin, a dense cushion of collagen supports the face, maintaining smooth texture and lifted, defined contours. Over time, that collagen layer thins, and the skin begins to show the effects.
Microneedling works by awakening your skin's natural collagen production for smoother, firmer, more radiant results.
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 it at high speed to separate red blood cells and other solids from the liquid plasma.
The platelet layer is then collected and mixed back into the clear plasma. Platelets support blood clotting and are rich in growth factors that drive tissue repair and regeneration. This makes PRP a powerful way to enhance your body's natural healing response while calming inflammation.
When combined with microneedling, PRP seeps into the tiny microchannels created by the device, delivering growth factors deep into the skin. This process stimulates fresh collagen, speeds recovery, softens fine lines, and improves overall tone and texture.
Microneedling uses a specialized handpiece fitted with ultra-thin, sterile needles to trigger your skin's natural renewal process.
At Marvel Cosmetic MedSpa, we perform microneedling with the advanced SkinPen system for precise, consistent results.
Your appointment begins with a topical numbing cream to maximize comfort. Your provider then glides the microneedling device over the targeted area (such as the face, neck, hands, or other body zones) creating microscopic channels. You might notice light pressure or mild sensitivity, but recovery is typically quick, with most redness fading within a few hours.
During treatment, the device rapidly moves the needles in and out of the skin, creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries. These tiny channels stimulate your body's healing response, boosting circulation and delivering nutrients that support improved elasticity, collagen production, and overall skin regeneration.
Microneedling is an excellent alternative or complement to laser treatments and chemical peels, particularly for individuals with deeper skin tones or sensitivities. As your body responds to these micro-injuries, it produces fresh collagen and elastin, gradually smoothing texture and creating a firmer, more refined appearance.
Many people enhance their results by pairing microneedling with platelet-rich plasma or hyaluronic acid serums to accelerate healing and boost outcomes.
Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can refresh and refine your skin by targeting multiple concerns at once, including:
Because it stimulates your skin's natural repair process, microneedling can address several issues in one session, maximizing your results.
When you want a single aesthetic treatment that can improve multiple skin concerns at once, microneedling is often an excellent choice for transformative results.

Microneedling can be appropriate for many skin tones and types, including sensitive or oily skin. It may benefit those looking to enhance skin texture, soften the look of scars, or address early signs of aging. It is generally not advised for individuals with active acne, open wounds, certain autoimmune disease conditions, or recent cosmetic procedures, as these factors can increase the risk of complications.
A one-on-one appointment will help you determine whether this medical treatment is the safest and most effective option for you.
Microneedling delivers gradual, natural-looking improvement over several weeks to months as your skin repairs itself and builds new collagen. Many clients notice:
A customized series of treatments, usually every 4–6 weeks, is recommended for optimal results, with periodic maintenance to extend your glow.

Microneedling is typically safe for darker skin tones when done by a skilled professional, like the ones at Marvel. It can reduce hyperpigmentation, improve texture, and diminish scar appearance with less risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation than many laser treatments.
Most clients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 microneedling sessions, spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart. This schedule supports the skin's natural renewal cycle, helping to smooth uneven skin texture, soften scars, and gradually improve overall tone and radiance.
Microneedling can be very helpful for post-acne scarring, enlarged pores, and residual texture changes. It is not recommended over active acne or inflamed breakouts, since a calm, clean skin environment promotes better wound healing and more effective collagen stimulation.
It is best to wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup after microneedling. During this initial healing window, your provider may recommend gentle topical treatments, hydrating serums, and non-comedogenic moisturizers to support barrier repair.
Following microneedling, the skin is more vulnerable to UV damage. Avoid direct sun exposure as much as possible, seek shade, and apply a high-quality broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect healing tissue and preserve your improved skin results over time.
