Microneedling in St. Petersburg, FL
Microneedling can help treat the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars and improve the skin’s overall appearance. During this procedure, the microneedling device is used to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin to produce collagen and elastin.
Microneedling also creates superficial micro-channels, which can be used with topical gels, and serums to help improve the appearance of the skin. We have several options available, including plasma, which uses your own blood to heal itself, amniotic tissue allograft, and even human biologics.

What are the benefits of Microneedling?
The benefits of microneedling include reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. Microneedling can also positively affect the appearance of hyper-pigmentation and hypo-pigmentation, acne scars, traumatic scars, and stretch marks and create a fresher appearance or glow to the skin.
What does it feel like? Is it painful?
The feeling associated is similar to light sandpaper being moved across the skin. While some areas are more sensitive than others, the speed of the reciprocating microneedling tip reduces discomfort. Our patients are quite comfortable with the usage of numbing cream applied to the skin before the procedure.
How long does the procedure take?
The procedure takes approximately 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated.
What is downtime?
Immediately after the treatment, you will notice a bright redness to the skin. There might even be a little bit of bruising. The total healing time depends on the setting used, and the number of overlapping passes your skincare professional performs. On average, patients are red for up to 2 to 4 days. Some patients heal completely in as little as 24 hours. Quality skincare products and home care instructions will be provided to speed up the post-care process.
When will I see the results?
Patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. The results continue to improve as collagen production continues to form and grow.
How many treatments will I need?
It is recommended for most patients to receive a series of 2-6 treatments spaced about 4-8 weeks apart. More treatments may be needed for patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photoaging, stretch marks, or acne scars.
Using Amniotic Tissue allograft in combination with treatments
As part of the body’s healing ability, growth factors respond to tissue injury and initiate and promote the conditions for healing. This is used for many conditions, including fine lines, wrinkles, melasma, and pigmentation, as well as hair loss. We offer amniotic tissue and human biologic-derived growth factors as an upgraded topical infusion with our microneedling and injection treatments for a more impactful anti-aging treatment.
