Microneedling
Tighten, Brighten, & restore
SkinPen is the first FDA cleared microneedling device and is safe for all skin types (Fitzpatrick I-VI).
Microneedling is aimed at stimulating the body’s own collagen production to tighten, lift, rejuvenate, and restore the skin by creating microchannels into the epidermis to release growth factors that produce scarless healing of the skin. It is also intended to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and minimize pores, stretch marks, and scarring.
MICRONEEDLING BENEFITS
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Encourage collagen production
- Calm and soothe irritated skin
- Minimizes enlarged pores
- Reduce scarring
Perhaps you’ve also heard of microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) – popularly known as the “vampire facial.”
HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING WITH PRP WORK?
In this setting, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is derived from a small sample of your own blood. It contains a high concentration of growth factors that have been used for over 20 years for cellular rejuvenation, healing, and collagen production. A blood draw is performed from the arm region and spun in a centrifuge to isolate the PRP. The PRP separates into a yellow substance that is filled with growth factors. PRP is drawn off and then used topically, during your microneedling treatment, to aid in collagen production and rejuvenation in that given area.
Your aesthetician will apply a topical anesthetic to your face. They will then pass over it with a microneedling pen. The microneedling pen pricks tiny holes in your skin, stimulating its natural healing processes – and creating channels for the PRP. The tiny breaks in the skin stimulate collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin, which allows for facial rejuvenation by reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and scars. Your aesthetician will massage the PRP into the treated areas of the skin. This helps the platelets and beneficial growth factors in PRP penetrate deep into your skin so they can work their rejuvenating magic!
Microneedling (with or without PRP) can improve a variety of skin conditions! Even if you’re lucky enough not to have any of these issues, you may want to consider microneedling with PRP to improve your skin’s tone, texture, and overall appearance.
In sum, microneedling with PRP is a powerful treatment for a variety of common skin concerns!
TREATMENT EXPECTATIONS:
- Before PRP injections, drink plenty of water! This will aid us in drawing blood and obtaining more plasma.
- After PRP is applied topically, the client should plan for 1-2 days of healing due to redness and/or irritation.
- PRP results may vary from client to client.
You may opt to enhance your microneedling treatment with one of the following:
Microneedling + Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Microneedling + Laser Genesis
Microneedling + ZO Skin Accelerator
Your aesthetician will analyze your skin and provide a custom treatment plan to help maximize your results!

Most patients see results after the first treatment. Individual results vary depending on individual skin health. It is most common to begin to see true changes or positive results as soon as 1-2 weeks after the first treatment.
It is normal for the skin to peel after microneedling treatments as a new layer of skin is produced and the old skin begins peeling off. The peeling will be minimal, similar to a mild sunburn.
Laser therapy and microneedling can be used effectively together to produce optimal skin rejuvenation. Both procedures stimulate collagen production.
By themselves, laser skin treatments and microneedling can help you enjoy younger-looking skin. You will notice improvements in texture, tone, and firmness.
For optimal results, many patients prefer to combine these treatments for optimal skin rejuvenation!
There is some discomfort associated with microneedling, but a topical numbing cream can be applied prior to the procedure to minimize discomfort.
- Clients will undergo a blood draw. The blood draw allows the provider to then extract the platelet-rich plasma from the client’s own blood using a centrifuge.
- A topical numbing cream will be applied to the designated treatment area.
- Once the PRP has been extracted and enough PRP has been harvested, it is then applied throughout the microneedling treatment.
BEFORE: Your provider will gently cleanse the skin. Topical numbing cream is applied to ensure maximum comfort throughout the treatment.
DURING: Once the numbing cream has taken effect, your provider will gently pass SkinPen over the treatment area. As the tiny needles create micro-channels in the skin, clients typically feel light pressure and a mild buzzing sensation, with minimal discomfort.
AFTER: Most clients notice redness in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. Additional common treatment responses include dryness, tightness, and peeling. This is normal and should subside within 24 to 72 hours. Makeup and sunscreen can be applied 24 hours after treatment.
Testimonials
Great experience!! Felt very comfortable and welcomed. Would recommend this Spa to anyone who wants to be pampered and come out looking great!
I was really impressed with how Kisha mapped out my face before she injected my Botox. I have had Botox at other places and have never experienced this. Her experience and treatment process truly put me at ease during my appointment. I will definitely be back!
Revive was initially recommended to me by friends, I’ve been a client now for a few different treatments. I received Dysport from Katie and Kisha and they are both amazing! On my last visit, I had a consultation for lip injections. At my consultation, Kisha provided me with Restylane Kysse lip injections. Kisha is a true artist! I am completely obsessed with my lips! Kisha was so informative, knowledgeable, and sweet!
I had a 60-minute sports massage with Angela. She was amazing! Very knowledgeable and super friendly. I can’t say enough good things.
I have been extremely satisfied with my experiences at Revive! The front desk staff is extremely friendly when you arrive. Jodi, who I receive my Dysport injections from, is SO nice and very knowledgeable! My questions never go unanswered!
Completely in love with my Dysport results I received from Kisha! She is very knowledgeable, professional, sweet, and personable!
