What is Microneedling?
Nonsurgical procedures for skin rejuvenation, like SkinPen® microneedling, are an excellent way to improve the health of the skin with minimal downtime. Microneedling uses several fine needles to safely and effectively create micro-injuries to the the skin. The micro-injuries trigger the body's natural production of elastin and collagen to improve the health and appearance of your skin. For even better results, microneedling can be combined with PRP (platelet-rich plasma), also known as a "vampire facial." Microneedling can help minimize scars, pores, stretch marks, wrinkles and sun damage.
How Does Microneedling Work?
SkinPen microneedling is performed in a private treatment room in about 45 minutes. A topical numbing anesthetic is used and patients generally feel little to no pain or discomfort. For enhanced results, this treatment can be combined with PRP (also known as a "vampire facial.") PRP is the portion of the blood plasma that has a high concentration of proteins that are involved in cellular repair and rejuventation. Combining PRP with microneedling has the added benefit of further improving the quality of the skin by using your body's own growth factors.
After the treatment, there may be mild redness and swelling for a few days. It may take a series of 3-6 sessions for best results.
SkinPen microneedling pricing starts at $400 per session with discounted package pricing available. You may add-on PRP to any microneedling session for an additional $250 per session.
What Are The Benefits Of Microneedling?
At SkinLaB, we recommend SkinPen microneedling for those who wish to gain several different advantages, such as:
- Improved skin texture and a beautiful, healthy glow
- Improvement in scarring, uneven pigmentation, or stretch marks
- Improvement in wrinkles, lines, and signs of aging
- Safe, minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime
Is Microneedling Right for Me?
Microneedling is an excellent option for those who want to improve the appearance of fine lines, pores, skin texture and scars with minimal downtime.
What Can I Expect After Getting Microneedling?
Following the procedure, you can have light swelling and redness for around a day; however, this should fade quickly on its own. It can take about 1 – 2 months until you see visible changes in the health and appearance of your complexion as the elastin and collagen supply increases. We recommend 3-6 sessions for optimal results, followed by 1 session every 4-6 months to maintain enhanced collagen production.
SkinLaB by Dr. LaBrasca Reviews
Beautiful facility and can't speak highly enough of Mistica who is thoughtful, tremendously skilled, knowledgeable, and has excellent bedside manner.
Mistica is FABULOUS! Professional and clearly loves what she does for a living! Thoroughly explained all treatments. She goes the extra mile for her patients.
Mistica and her team are first class! Honest, professional, intelligent, personable, and fun. Best in the business for sure!
Love SkinLaB and Mistica! Mistica did a great job with my Dysport! I had zero pain and it was the perfect amount. I also just got cheek filler, and under eye filler. I was pretty nervous about the pain, but she took every step possible to help it be pain-free, and I felt nothing! I love the final result. I wanted an overall natural look, but to just look refreshed. And she totally nailed it! The SkinLaB facility is absolutely beautiful and spotless. I love the modern decor, and it was so clean! The location is so ideal, located in Cranberry Township, in one of the busiest plazas. It is so easy to get to and great parking.
I have been going to Mistica for years now and she and her team are the only people that I trust to administer Dysport/Botox. When looking for someone to administer Botox, it is really important to me that they have extensive training and experience. Mistica is a well respected medical professional in the Pittsburgh area (any beyond!), and has always made me feel extremely comfortable. She also takes an interest in her patient's lives, which I really appreciate. I am thrilled that SkinLab is now open and can't wait to come back!

Can I combine other treatments with microneedling?
Microneedling is commonly augmented with PRP (platelet rich plasma). PRP utilizes your body's own platelet rich plasma harvested directly from your blood to help stimulate growth factors, collagen and elastin in the skin.
How many treatments are recommended for optimal results?
Depending on your goals and the areas being treated, we typically recommend a series of 3-6 sessions initially (spaced 4-6 weeks apart), followed by 1 session every 4-6 months to maintain the results from the initial series.
Is microneedling safe for everyone?
For the most part, microneedling is appropriate for all skin tones and types. Skin injuries created by microneedling are so minor that side effects are rarely seen after the treatment. Microneedling can be performed on most skin areas, including the face, neck, and chest. Microneedling isn't recommended if you've taken Accutane in the last 6 months, or if you have an active skin infection, open wound, or herpes simplex. We do not recommend microneedling if you are pregnant.
