Controlled micro-channels trigger your skin’s own collagen response — improving a range of concerns on the face and body, with minimal downtime.
Boxcar, rolling, and shallow icepick scars respond especially well. Collagen remodeling gradually softens depressed scars and evens the surface over a series of treatments.
Enlarged pores and rough, uneven texture smooth as fresh collagen tightens the skin’s framework — a more refined, polished complexion.
Early fine lines and mild laxity improve as microneedling stimulates new collagen and elastin for firmer, plumper, more refreshed-looking skin.
On the abdomen, thighs, and arms, microneedling helps remodel stretch marks and improve crepey or uneven body skin, restoring a smoother tone.
Microneedling — also called collagen induction therapy — uses the SkinPen® Precision to create thousands of controlled micro-channels that prompt your body to build fresh collagen and elastin, for denser, smoother, more even-toned skin. We offer four levels so the treatment matches your concerns and goals.
The SkinPen® Precision creates micro-channels that trigger fresh collagen and elastin — skin that’s denser, smoother, and more even-toned over the following weeks.
Standard is the foundational treatment for fine lines, mild texture, and radiance. Advanced adds topical growth factors to amplify healing for more dramatic, longer-lasting results.
For deeper concerns like acne scars, PRP drawn from your own blood is applied during treatment to significantly boost collagen production.
Pairs microneedling with platelet-derived growth factor — a regenerative compound that stimulates collagen and elastin while shortening recovery time.
Treatments take 30–45 minutes with numbing cream first. Skin looks like a light sunburn that fades in 24–48 hours. A series of 3–6 sessions, 4–6 weeks apart, is typical.
Because microneedling doesn’t rely on heat or light, it avoids the hyperpigmentation risk of many lasers — one of the safest in-office texture treatments for melanin-rich skin.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment with a strong safety record, but temporary side effects are expected. Redness and mild swelling resembling a sunburn are normal for one to three days, and light flaking or dryness can follow. Pinpoint bleeding during treatment is normal. Less commonly, bruising, prolonged redness, or temporary breakouts can occur. Patients with active acne, open wounds, active cold sores, or certain skin infections should postpone treatment. Sun protection afterward is essential, as treated skin is more sensitive to UV. Your provider will review your skin history and any medications before treatment.

Microneedling significantly softens and remodels acne scars, with most patients seeing meaningful improvement after a series of 3–6 treatments. Shallow rolling and boxcar scars respond best; deeper or ice-pick scars often need a combined approach with laser. We’ll set realistic expectations at your consultation.
Yes — it’s one of microneedling’s biggest advantages. Because it doesn’t rely on heat or light, it doesn’t carry the same hyperpigmentation risk as many lasers, making it one of the safest in-office texture treatments for melanin-rich skin.
Pricing depends on the treatment level — Standard, Advanced, PRP, or PDGF — and whether you book a single session or a package of three. Packages are typically more economical for a full series. Call (615) 771-7718 or book a consultation for current pricing at your closest location.
With numbing cream applied first, most patients describe the sensation as a light vibration or scratching — uncomfortable but not painful. Thinner-skinned areas like around the eyes and forehead can feel more intense.
Most patients see meaningful acne-scar improvement after 4–6 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Deeper or older scars may benefit from PRP or PDGF microneedling to accelerate collagen remodeling.
A HydraFacial is a surface treatment that cleanses, exfoliates, and hydrates for an immediate glow with no downtime. Microneedling works deeper to remodel collagen and treat scarring, pores, and texture. Many patients use HydraFacial for monthly maintenance and microneedling as a seasonal deeper reset.
