Microneedling in Maitland, FL
About Microneedling
Microneedling utilizes the body’s natural healing response to rejuvenate the skin. Your body produces collagen and elastin naturally, and in younger women, there is a balance between the amount of collagen that is broken down and that which is produced by the body. As we reach our 30s, our bodies produce less collagen, and this means that we develop a collagen deficiency. The Rejuvapen NXT device creates multiple microchannels on the skin’s surface, triggering a controlled wound healing process. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins responsible for maintaining skin structure and elasticity. As the skin heals, it may appear tighter, smoother, and more youthful over time.
Microneedling is a popular option that many find effective for skin rejuvenation as opposed to laser treatments which provide consistently favorable outcomes, but require more downtime and are more costly. This safe and minimally invasive treatment encourages skin rejuvenation, often resulting in improved skin health and appearance with a series of treatments.
Microneedling: Unlocking Your Skin’s Natural Rejuvenation
Benefits of Microneedling
- Minimally Invasive: Microneedling is popular due to its minimally invasive nature, creating small skin punctures that reduce discomfort and risks compared to surgery.
- No Downtime: Microneedling requires minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities quickly. Mild, temporary redness or swelling may occur.
- Maximizes the Body’s Healing Process to Rejuvenate Skin: Microneedling boosts collagen and elastin via micro-injuries, which heals the skin and reduces fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and uneven texture, improving firmness and elasticity.
- Safe for Most Skin Types: Typically safe for most skin types and on many areas of the face and body. It’s essential to assess each patient’s individual needs and skin types during the consultation, as some conditions may benefit more from other treatment options or a combination of therapies.
- Recommended at Any Age: Suitable for all ages, this treatment promotes skin health preventatively and addresses aging signs.
Microneedling + PRP
What Is Microneedling + PRP?
Platelet-Rich Plasma microneedling, also known as PRP microneedling, is an advanced skin rejuvenation procedure. It combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma extracted from the patient’s blood. This plasma is rich in growth factors that stimulate tissue regeneration and collagen synthesis. When used together, PRP enhances microneedling's rejuvenating effects, potentially refining skin texture, reducing fine lines, improving scars and achieving a more toned complexion. Dr. Serrao performs the procedure, utilizing deeper microneedle penetration to further stimulate collagen and elastin. He suggests beginning with a PRP microneedling session, followed by regular microneedling treatments with Angelica, his medical aesthetician. During a consultation, a personalized treatment plan will be developed.
Enhancing Microneedling Results with PRP
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP), derived from a small sample of the patient's own blood, contains potent growth factors. Dr. Serrao will perform the microneedling treatment using a deeper setting on the skin, facilitating deeper penetration of PRP. This dual approach stimulates the production of collagen and elastin even further. The growth factors in PRP are thought to promote tissue repair, skin regeneration and improved blood flow, as referenced by clinical studies. Microneedling with PRP is a natural way to rejuvenate the skin!

Microneedling FAQs
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that is proven to stimulate collagen production. The new collagen provides lift and volume to the skin and helps with cell turnover. Microneedling is recommended for:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Poor skin texture and tone
- Loose skin
- Stretch marks and minor scars
- Large pores
- Sun damage
How is Microneedling Performed?
We use the Eclipse MicroPen for our microneedling treatments. The device has a series of very fine needles that create the micro-channels. We may complement the treatment with creams, gels, and serums that nourish the skin. The sensation of a microneedling treatment is similar to lightly pulling a fine grade emery board across your skin.
How Long is the Recovery from Microneedling?
Microneedling requires no downtime, but your skin may be slightly red or pink. We recommend that you stay out of the sun for the first 24 hours and use a high-quality sunscreen when you are outdoors.
How Much Does Microneedling Cost?
Pricing is based upon the recommended treatment plan from Dr. Serrão, so we can discuss the cost of your microneedling treatment during your consultation. If you are interested in monthly payments for the procedure, you can learn more about our financing options.
