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.

I am a grateful previous client of Mistica, and am thrilled to continue on as such! (Welcome to Cranberry!) Mistica is open, honest and knowledgeable, earning my trust on the first visit. She addresses you as an individual and makes recommendations that flatter and compliment, not distract. Making a better YOU! She is truly a gift. I look forward to my next visit and I promise, you will too!
It’s beyond beautiful and clean inside and you cannot beat professionalism, knowledge, skill and results here. Highly recommend. Mistica couldn’t be more kind and works with you to make sure you’re happy and getting what you want and advises perfectly with experience so you get the result you want and look your best.
Mistica is a true artist! My results are always subtle, and just enough for people to notice that I look refreshed, and a bit more youthful.
I visited the SkinLaB for my first time on Tuesday. I knew in advance that my visit would be great because I put my trust in Mistica years ago. I was blown away at the esthetics of the space. Really beautiful!! Upon entering the space, I was greeted by a very professional receptionist. Kudos to All at Skin Lab
If you’re anything like me, you can find the whole skin care industry a little intimidating. I try to use all of the right serums, lotions, and oils, but nothing made me feel or look quite right. I felt like I was throwing money down the drain and looking worse for it. Nearing 40 and seeing wrinkles, I knew I was ready to start some treatments, but had no idea where to start and was so afraid I wouldn’t look like myself anymore. I made a consult with Mistica, and in 30 short minutes, she took all of my worries away. She completely redid (and simplified!) my skin care routine for less than what I was throwing away at Sephora, and gently eased me into filler and neurotoxins (completely at my request). She even told me I didn’t need things I thought I did. She was absolutely wonderful and comforting and I’m so glad that I went. The office is beautiful and the staff is friendly. Run to get an appointment, you won’t be sorry.

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.
