Microneedling at a glance
Microneedling, or collagen induction therapy, involves using fine needles to create tiny, invisible punctures on the skin's surface. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer skin. The Practice Plastic Surgery offers advanced microneedling options tailored to your unique skin care needs.

During the microneedling procedure, a specialized device with tiny needles is gently passed over the skin, creating controlled micro-injuries. This prompts the skin to regenerate and repair itself, improving texture, tone, and overall appearance. We also offer the AquaGold Facial, a specialized microneedling treatment infused with customized serums to address specific concerns, including age spots.
The AquaGold facial is a minimally invasive treatment that utilizes a microinjection device to deliver a personalized cocktail of rejuvenating solutions directly into the deeper layers of your skin. This luxurious treatment targets a variety of concerns, including:
Microneedling effectively treats various skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. Additionally, it can target age spots, promoting a more youthful and radiant complexion.
Collagen induction therapy is made from powerful components found in your blood, where they promote wound healing. At the beginning of a microneedling with collagen induction therapy treatment, a small blood sample is taken from your body and spun through a centrifuge, which separates the valuable platelets from the rest of the blood. Since collagen induction therapy is derived from your own body, unwanted side effects are virtually eliminated.
This collagen induction therapy can be applied directly to the skin during and immediately after a microneedling procedure. The micro-channels created by the treatment provide direct pathways into the deeper layers of skin for optimal healing and overall rejuvenation. This allows your skin to absorb the most potent healing properties from your own blood to heal and improve itself from the inside out.
Morpheus8 pairs microneedling with radiofrequency energy by using the tiny needles not just for creating micro-channels, but also to deliver radiofrequency energy deep into the skin, prompting your own skin cells to repair and remodel more efficiently. The resulting natural healing response promotes production of new collagen and elastin to firm and remodel skin. This treatment can be used anywhere on the face, neck, and body, including the abdomen or buttocks. RF microneedling is also a "colorblind" technology, meaning it's safe for use on all skin types and tones.
What sets Morpheus8 apart from similar devices is the fact that its heat can reach deeper dermal layers—and the treatment depth can be adjusted to address specific skin concerns. This customizable approach to microneedling is especially effective for improving the appearance of lines and wrinkles, tightening lax skin, smoothing out rough or uneven texture, treating hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, helping to fade stretch marks, and even reducing some fat.
Microneedling is versatile and can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, to improve skin texture and address specific concerns.
Microneedling offers numerous benefits, including improved skin texture and tone, reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimize pores, and enhanced overall skin health. This minimally invasive treatment also requires minimal downtime, making it suitable for individuals with busy lifestyles.

Results from microneedling are typically noticeable within a few weeks, with continued improvement over several months as collagen production increases. The longevity of results varies depending on individual skincare habits and maintenance treatments. Consistent skincare routine and sun protection can help prolong the benefits of microneedling.
