Improve Skin Texture, Tighten Pores, and Stimulate Collagen Naturally

Microneedling is one of our most requested skin treatments for all the good reasons. It is safe, effective, and works with your body’s natural healing process to deliver firmer, smoother skin with minimal downtime.

Aesthetic Planning 101: Start With Skin

Before filler, contouring, or advanced treatments, learn why building skin quality with microneedling and thoughtful Botox creates better long-term results.

Our Microneedling Treatments

Each treatment is performed by our expertly trained providers with a focus on skin health, precision, and visible results.

Traditional Microneedling

Stimulate collagen and improve overall skin texture through controlled micro-injuries that activate your skin’s natural repair process. This treatment helps smooth fine lines, refine pores, and create a more even tone.

Radiofrequency Microneedling

Go beyond surface-level results by combining microneedling with radiofrequency energy delivered beneath the skin. It helps tighten, firm, and support collagen remodeling, making it especially effective for skin laxity, deeper lines, and acne scarring.

PRP Microneedling

Use your body’s own growth factors to enhance results. Often referred to as the vampire facial, this treatment supports faster healing, boosts collagen production, and improves overall skin quality and radiance.

Skin Boosters

Deliver targeted hydration and regenerative ingredients into the skin during microneedling. Formulas may include PRF, exosomes, or PDRN to support collagen production, improve elasticity, and restore a more luminous complexion.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a non-invasive treatment that works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. As your skin heals, it becomes firmer, tighter, and more even in tone and texture.

This treatment is especially effective for reducing the appearance of:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and surgical scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Crepey or sun-damaged skin

Microneedling has been used for decades in Europe and continues to gain popularity in the U.S. for its ability to deliver natural-looking, long-lasting results.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Our advanced microneedling treatment uses the Collagen P.I.N., the only FDA-cleared device with a 36-needle cartridge (3x more than standard devices), to create thousands of micro-channels in the skin.

Depending on the depth used, microneedling can address everything from surface-level dullness to deeper acne scars and wrinkles.

  • Triggers collagen and elastin production
  • Improves product absorption
  • Supports firmer, smoother skin
  • Reduces pore size and scarring
  • Preserves the epidermis, resulting in faster healing

What Areas Can Be Treated?

In general, all skin types can safely be treated with the Collagen P.I.N. This is a large advantage to treatment with microneedling compared to laser ablative treatments that can result in permanent discoloration in darker, more ethnic skin types. Most areas of the body can be treated including:

Face

Neck

Décolletage

Hands

Arms and Legs

Abdomen and Back

I recently moved to San Diego and was worried by the thought of having to find a new med aesthetic office. I was referred to PRFCT by a friend, who got me connected to Lexie specifically. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and makes you feel right at home. I’ve already had a few appointments/services with Lexie (botox and micro needling) and I’ll continue to go to her for all my beauty needs. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Frequently Asked Questions

While some clients see great results after just one session, we typically recommend a series of 3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. For deeper concerns like scarring or stretch marks, 6 or more sessions may be needed. Maintenance is usually 2–4 sessions per year, depending on age and goals.
