§ 03 / Mechanism

What is microneedling?

Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy, CIT, or microchanneling) is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin—the proteins responsible for smooth, firm, youthful-looking skin.

Why SkinPen ELITE Is Different

SkinPen is the first microneedling device to receive FDA clearance, meaning it has been rigorously tested for safety and efficacy. Unlike at-home derma rollers or uncertified devices, SkinPen features:

Precision-Engineered Needles: Medical-grade, surgical steel needles for consistent, controlled penetration
Sterile Single-Use Cartridges: Zero cross-contamination risk—a new cartridge for every treatment
Adjustable Needle Depth: Customized treatment depth (0.25mm to 2.5mm) based on your skin concerns
FDA-Cleared: The only microneedling device FDA-cleared for treating facial acne scars and neck wrinkles

What Can Microneedling Treat?

Acne Scars

One of the most effective treatments for acne scarring. The controlled micro-injuries break down old scar tissue while stimulating new collagen to fill in depressions and smooth texture.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Boost your skin’s natural collagen and elastin production to soften fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.

Sun Damage & Age Spots

Accelerate cell turnover to fade hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone caused by years of UV exposure.

Stretch Marks

Significantly improve the appearance of stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, buttocks, and arms—especially newer marks.

Large Pores & Skin Laxity

Stimulate collagen around pore walls to tighten and minimize enlarged pores while improving mild skin laxity on face, neck, and body.

§ 04 / Concerns

What we fix.

Most people who book microneedling aren’t searching for “collagen induction therapy.” They’re searching for a fix for the skin concern that’s been frustrating them for months or years. If any of these describe your skin, microneedling with the FDA-cleared SkinPen ELITE may be the treatment you’ve been looking for:

Acne Scars That Won’t Fade

  • Ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars — indented scars left behind from old acne breakouts that create an uneven, textured surface. Topical products can’t reach deep enough to fix them
  • Red or dark acne marks (PIH) — discolored spots that linger for months after breakouts heal. Microneedling accelerates cell turnover to fade these marks faster
  • Scars that look worse in certain lighting — the shadows cast by pitted scars become especially visible in angled or overhead light. Microneedling remodels the collagen beneath these depressions to smooth them out

Large Pores & Rough Skin Texture

  • Enlarged pores — pores that have stretched with age, sun damage, or oil production. You can see them clearly in the mirror and they make your skin look “orange peel” textured
  • Rough, bumpy skin — uneven texture that won’t smooth out despite exfoliating. The damage lies deeper than the surface, in the dermal layer where microneedling works
  • Skin that won’t hold makeup — foundation slides off, settles into creases, or accentuates texture instead of covering it

Fine Lines, Wrinkles & Loss of Firmness

  • Fine lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead — early wrinkles that aren’t deep enough for Botox or filler but are visible enough to age you
  • Crepe-y neck and décolletage — thin, wrinkled skin on your neck and chest that shows sun damage and aging. Microneedling is one of the safest, most effective treatments for these delicate areas
  • Skin that’s lost its bounce — collagen production drops roughly 1% per year after age 25. Microneedling triggers your body’s wound-healing response to produce new collagen and elastin naturally

Stretch Marks & Body Scars

  • Stretch marks from pregnancy, weight changes, or growth spurts — the SkinPen ELITE is the first and only FDA-cleared device for stretch mark treatment. Most treatments can’t reach the dermal layer where stretch marks form — microneedling can
  • Surgical scars — raised or discolored scars from surgery, C-section, or injury that microneedling can flatten and fade over a series of treatments

Hyperpigmentation & Melasma

  • Dark spots and sun damage — patches of discoloration on your face, hands, or chest from years of UV exposure
  • Melasma — the stubborn, hormone-triggered pigmentation that’s notoriously difficult to treat. Microneedling (without heat) is one of the safest options for melasma because it avoids the thermal energy that can trigger rebound darkening

The best part? Microneedling works with your body’s own healing process — no foreign substances, no chemicals, no lasers. Add our premium growth factors like VAMP(PDRN) or Ariessence Pure PDGF+ and results accelerate significantly. Book your free consultation and Kristen-Anne will assess your skin and recommend the right treatment plan for your concerns. For active acne breakouts, see our prescription acne treatment programs including compound formulas and Winlevi.

Amplify Your Microneedling Results

Double Your Collagen Response with SkinMedica TNS Advanced+

Microneedling triggers your collagen production — TNS Advanced+ Serum amplifies it. This is the exact growth-factor-based serum Kristen-Anne layers onto patients during microneedling and sends home for daily use. Clinical studies show patients using TNS Advanced+ post-microneedling see visibly better results than microneedling alone. It's also the at-home path for patients not quite ready for needles.

SkinMedica TNS® Advanced+ Serum

The growth factor serum clinically proven to amplify microneedling results

TNS Advanced+ is SkinMedica's flagship anti-aging serum — formulated with TNS-MR (a proprietary blend of growth factors, peptides, and antioxidants) that stimulates the same collagen pathways microneedling activates. Applied immediately after microneedling, growth factors penetrate deeper through the micro-channels and amplify the healing/collagen-building response. Used daily at home, it continues building skin quality between monthly sessions — or stands alone for patients who aren't ready for in-office treatment yet.

  • Clinically proven to improve fine lines, texture, and skin tone in 12 weeks
  • The serum Kristen-Anne uses during every microneedling session
  • Applied post-microneedling, growth factors penetrate 10× deeper through open channels
  • Safe for all Fitzpatrick types, pairs with SPF and any prescription regimen

§ PDGF+ vs PRP · Modern Growth-Factor Microneedling

The modern alternative to PRP microneedling. No blood draw.

Most med spas pair microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) — the vampire facial. PRP requires a needle stick, blood draw, centrifuge, and autologous variability that depends on the patient’s own platelet count that day. Reviv chose a different path.

We use Ariessence Pure PDGF+ — pharmaceutical-grade Platelet-Derived Growth Factor manufactured in clean-room conditions to a consistent concentration. No blood draw. No centrifuge. No batch-to-batch variability. Same biological signaling pathways, more reliable delivery.

For patients who want growth factors with salmon DNA / polynucleotide healing benefits, we layer in VAMP(PDRN) — the modern alternative to traditional vampire facial / salmon DNA facial protocols, again without the blood draw. The SkinPen ELITE Ultimate tier combines both PDGF+ and VAMP(PDRN) for compounded results.

Why this matters for darker skin types: PRP’s blood-draw step adds inflammatory signaling that, in some Fitzpatrick III–VI patients, can trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Ariessence PDGF+ has no inflammatory load. We treat melasma and Fitzpatrick IV+ patients with PDGF+, never with PRP — and the data backs the choice.

§ Compare · Microneedling Modalities

SkinPen ELITE vs PRP, RF, Dermapen & Morpheus8.

SkinPen Precision ELITE microneedling device handpiece at Reviv Beauty Med Spa Sanford FL

Microneedling has split into several modalities. Mechanical SkinPen, autologous PRP layering, and RF (radiofrequency) energy devices each suit different goals, downtime tolerances, and budgets. Here’s how Reviv Beauty’s SkinPen ELITE protocol compares to the other options on the market.

 SkinPen ELITE (Reviv)PRP MicroneedlingRF Microneedling
(Morpheus8, Vivace)
FDA StatusProcedure (PRP is autologous, not a device)FDA-cleared devices (Morpheus8 K181241, Vivace K161335)
MechanismMicroneedling + topical PRP (requires blood draw, centrifuge separation)Needles deliver radiofrequency thermal energy to deeper dermis
Downtime24–72 hours redness; bruising at draw site possible3–7 days swelling, redness, possible scabbing
Best ForPatients who want autologous (own blood) recovery supportDeeper skin laxity, jowls, neck tightening
Typical Cost$700–$1,500 per session (industry average)$1,500–$3,500 per session (industry average)
Reviv OffersNo — we use Ariessence Pure PDGF+ growth factor instead (no blood draw)No — we focus on mechanical microneedling for predictable results across all Fitzpatrick skin types

Why we don’t do PRP: Ariessence Pure PDGF+ delivers pharmaceutical-grade Platelet-Derived Growth Factor without a blood draw, centrifuge, or autologous variability. The growth-factor concentration is consistent session-to-session — PRP yield can vary by patient hydration, age, and platelet count. Why we don’t do RF microneedling: Mechanical SkinPen is safer across darker Fitzpatrick skin types (no thermal pigmentation risk), pairs cleanly with PDGF+ and VAMP(PDRN), and delivers excellent texture and tone outcomes for the patients who book at Reviv. RF is appropriate for deep skin laxity — not the goal most of our microneedling patients come in for.

§ Aftercare Timeline · Day-by-day microneedling recovery

Microneedling aftercare: day by day.

Most patients return to normal social activity within 48 hours. The 14-day window is when collagen production peaks and final results consolidate.

Hour 0–24

Sunburn flush

Mild redness, warmth, slight tightness. Avoid touching the face. No active skincare (retinol, exfoliants, vitamin C). Mineral SPF only.

Day 1–3

Pinpoint dryness

Skin may feel parched, sandpaper-textured. Use gentle cleanser + a hydrating serum (HA-based). Resume normal makeup at hour 24+.

Day 4–7

Flake & glow

Light flaking as the micro-injuries reseal. The classic post-microneedling glass-skin glow emerges. Resume retinol at day 5–7 if tolerated.

Day 14–28

Collagen build

Peak collagen induction phase. Initial results visible at day 14, full results consolidate at week 4–6. Schedule next session at week 4 if doing a series.

Who shouldn’t get microneedling.

A few medical conditions and circumstances make microneedling inappropriate. Disclose all of these at consult — Kristen will tell you honestly if a different treatment fits better.

Contraindications & Cautions

  • Active acne breakouts in the treatment area (microneedling spreads infection)
  • Active eczema, psoriasis, or rosacea flare in the treatment area
  • Accutane (isotretinoin) within the past 6 months
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • History of keloid scarring
  • Active herpes simplex (HSV-1) cold sore — pre-treatment Valtrex prophylaxis available for HSV-1 history
  • Recent sunburn or active tan in the treatment area — wait until baseline color returns
  • Bleeding disorders or active anticoagulant therapy
  • Recent chemical peel (within 2 weeks) or laser resurfacing (within 6 weeks)

Pre-treatment checklist.

1 week before: stop retinol/retinoids and exfoliating acids. Avoid sun exposure and tanning. 48 hours before: stop alcohol and blood thinners (if cleared by physician). Day-of: arrive with clean skin, no makeup, no sunscreen. We cleanse and numb in-office.

Got Questions?

§ 12 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

At Reviv Beauty Med Spa, microneedling with SkinPen ELITE starts at $395 per session. We offer multiple treatment tiers including SkinPen with hyaluronic acid ($395), SkinPen with PDRN Salmon DNA ($695). Package pricing is available for series of 3 treatments. All new patients receive a free consultation.

SkinPen ELITE is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the United States. It uses precisely controlled micro-needles to create thousands of micro-channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural wound-healing response to produce new collagen and elastin. Unlike at-home derma rollers, SkinPen ELITE offers medical-grade precision with adjustable needle depth for customized treatment.

Most patients see noticeable improvement after 1 session, but optimal results typically require a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. For deeper concerns like acne scarring or stretch marks, 4-6 sessions may be recommended. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan during your free consultation at Reviv Beauty.

Most patients describe microneedling as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. At Reviv Beauty, we apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream 30 minutes before treatment to maximize comfort. The SkinPen ELITE device also features adjustable speed and depth settings, allowing your provider to customize the treatment intensity for your comfort level.

Downtime is minimal. Most patients experience redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24-72 hours. You can typically return to normal activities the next day and apply makeup after 24 hours. Avoid direct sun exposure, retinols, and active skincare ingredients for 3-5 days post-treatment. Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions.

Microneedling with SkinPen ELITE effectively treats a wide range of skin concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars (ice-pick, boxcar, rolling), surgical scars, stretch marks, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone and texture, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and sun damage. It also improves overall skin quality by boosting collagen production.

Yes! Microneedling pairs well with several treatments at Reviv Beauty. Popular combinations include microneedling + chemical peels (spaced 2 weeks apart), microneedling + Skinvive for enhanced hydration, and microneedling as part of our Glow Club membership. Your provider will recommend the best combination for your skin goals during your free consultation.

Yes. One of the major advantages of SkinPen ELITE microneedling is that it is safe for all skin types and tones (Fitzpatrick I-VI). Unlike laser treatments, microneedling does not use heat or light energy, making it a lower risk for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones. This is one reason it’s FDA-cleared for acne scar treatment in all skin types.

Reviv Beauty Med Spa is located at 104 S Park Ave, Suite 3, Sanford, FL 32771, in the heart of Historic Downtown Sanford. We serve microneedling patients from Sanford, Lake Mary, Longwood, Heathrow, Winter Springs, Altamonte Springs, Winter Park, Orlando, Oviedo, DeBary, and Deltona. Call (407) 534-9178 to schedule your free consultation.

Initial improvements appear within 1–2 weeks as redness settles and skin starts remodeling. Peak results show at 4–6 weeks per session, with collagen production continuing for up to 6 months after each treatment. Reviv’s typical protocol is a series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, then maintenance every 3–4 months to keep texture refined and tone even. Patients combining SkinPen with PDGF+ growth factor often see results compound faster and hold longer than mechanical microneedling alone.

SkinPen ELITE is mechanical microneedling — tiny precision needles trigger your skin’s natural collagen response. Morpheus8 and Vivace are radiofrequency (RF) microneedling, which adds thermal energy to reach deeper dermal layers. RF is appropriate for significant skin laxity (jowls, neck), but it carries higher pigmentation risk in darker Fitzpatrick skin types and 3–7 days of downtime. For texture, fine lines, acne scars (ice-pick, boxcar, rolling), melasma, and a snatched, filtered-glass finish — the goals most of our patients come in for — mechanical SkinPen with PDGF+ or VAMP(PDRN) delivers excellent results with 24–48 hour downtime and a safety profile that works across all skin tones. See our comparison table for a full breakdown.
