Microneedling
Stimulate Collagen. Renew Your Skin. Reveal a Naturally Radiant Glow.

Microneedling Treatments in Lewes, DE
If you're looking to improve skin texture, boost radiance, and support firmer, healthier-looking skin without surgery, microneedling is an excellent treatment option. By creating tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin, microneedling stimulates your body's natural healing response and encourages collagen and elastin production. As new collagen develops, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone and texture. For enhanced rejuvenation, microneedling with PRF combines the treatment with your body's own platelet-rich fibrin, delivering natural growth factors that support healing and further improve skin quality and overall rejuvenation. Whether you're looking to soften fine lines, improve acne scars, minimize the appearance of pores, or refresh your complexion, our providers will create a personalized treatment plan to help you achieve healthier, more radiant skin.
What is Microneedling?
Most treatments take about 30 minutes, and patients typically experience mild redness for one to three days. While many notice improvements after a single session, a series of three to six treatments, spaced approximately four weeks apart, is often recommended for the best, longest-lasting results.
What Microneedling Can Improve
Microneedling is commonly used to address:
- Acne scars and other textural irregularities
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone and post-acne discoloration
- Crepey skin on the face, neck, and chest
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Microneedling may be an excellent choice if you:
- Want smoother, healthier-looking skin with minimal downtime
- Prefer gradual, natural-looking improvements
- Are looking to stimulate your body’s own collagen production
- Are willing to complete a customized treatment series for optimal results
What to expect (treatment + downtime)
Most microneedling appointments are quick, comfortable, and straightforward. Your skin will first be thoroughly cleansed, followed by the application of a topical numbing cream to maximize comfort. Once your skin is prepared, the microneedling device creates precise microchannels that stimulate your body’s natural healing response. After treatment, soothing skincare products are applied to calm and protect the skin.
It’s normal to experience mild redness and slight swelling afterward, similar to a mild sunburn. For most patients, redness subsides within 24 hours, although some may notice mild sensitivity or a pink complexion for a few days.
When Will I See Results?
Initial results: Many patients notice smoother, brighter, and more refreshed-looking skin within the first week as the skin begins its natural renewal process.
Ongoing improvement: As collagen and elastin production increases over the following weeks, skin continues to become firmer, smoother, and more even in tone and texture.
Achieving the Best Results
While noticeable improvements can occur after a single treatment, the best and longest-lasting results are typically achieved with a series of treatments spaced about four weeks apart. Maintenance sessions may also be recommended to support continued collagen production and help keep your skin looking healthy and rejuvenated.
Microneedling With PRP
PRP, or platelet rich plasma, is a regenerative treatment derived from a small sample of your own blood. The blood is processed to concentrate platelets, which contain growth factors that support tissue repair and cellular renewal. When applied or injected into the skin, PRP stimulates collagen production and enhances the body’s natural healing process, contributing to smoother, firmer, and healthier looking skin over time.
Why Pair PRP With Microneedling
Microneedling creates controlled micro injuries in the skin to trigger collagen production and natural repair. When PRP is applied during or immediately after microneedling, the concentrated growth factors are delivered directly into the microchannels. This combination can enhance the rejuvenating effects of treatment and may further improve crepey texture, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and overall skin thickness and firmness.
Many patients notice brighter tone and smoother texture within three to four weeks, with continued collagen development over the following months. The process involves drawing a small amount of blood, preparing it into a concentrated serum, and applying it strategically during the session. Individual results vary depending on your body’s healing response. Most appointments take about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
Emerging clinical experience indicates that combining microneedling with PRP may provide enhanced improvement in texture and acne scarring for certain patients compared to microneedling alone.
When PRP Enhanced Microneedling May Be a Good Option
You may consider this approach if you:
• Want to improve acne scars and maximize visible results
• Prefer a regenerative treatment that uses your body’s own biologic material
• Aim to support long term skin quality, firmness, and overall vitality
PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) – Regenerative Add-On
Platelet derived growth factor, or PDGF, harnesses one of the body’s key regenerative proteins to support advanced skin rejuvenation and is often combined with the hydrating properties of hyaluronic acid. Developed through recombinant technology, PDGF is produced as a highly purified, sterile, pharmaceutical grade formulation without human to human transfer. This method allows for consistent concentration, enhanced safety, and reliable treatment performance. In comparison to biologic options such as PRP, PRF, or exosomes, PDGF offers a standardized formulation with a significantly higher concentration of targeted growth factors.
In aesthetic medicine, PDGF is frequently used as a regenerative booster and is commonly paired with treatments like microneedling to enhance skin renewal. By influencing cellular signaling pathways involved in repair and collagen production, it may help improve texture, strengthen skin resilience, and promote a more refreshed appearance over time. Recombinant PDGF enables precise, sterile application, and its signaling properties have also been explored in regenerative research, including studies related to hair follicle support and restoration science.
FAQ
Microneedling can help improve a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, mild skin laxity, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. By stimulating your body's natural collagen and elastin production, it promotes smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin over time.
While some patients notice improvement after a single treatment, most achieve the best results with a series of 3–6 microneedling sessions spaced about 4 weeks apart. Your provider will recommend a personalized treatment plan based on your skin concerns and goals.
Most patients experience 1–3 days of mild redness, similar to a mild sunburn, along with possible slight swelling or sensitivity. You can typically resume normal activities within 24 hours, although your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to support optimal healing and results.
Most patients find microneedling very tolerable. Before treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to maximize comfort, so you may only feel mild pressure or a light vibrating sensation during the procedure.
Microneedling may not be recommended for patients with active skin infections, open wounds, severe acne breakouts, certain inflammatory skin conditions, or those who are pregnant. During your consultation, your provider will review your medical history and skin health to determine if microneedling is the right treatment for you.
Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin within the first week, while collagen production continues to improve over the following weeks to months. The most significant results are typically seen after completing a recommended series of treatments.
