Microneedling

Stimulate collagen. Smooth texture. Reveal fresh, glowing skin.

Microneedling is one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate your skin naturally—without aggressive peels or lasers. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, it triggers your body’s repair response, encouraging collagen and elastin production from within.


At The Aesthetics Collective, we use medical-grade microneedling devices and offer advanced add-ons like PRP and EXO|E exosomes to boost your results, speed healing, and target deeper concerns like acne scarring, pigmentation, or fine lines.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a device with fine needles to create tiny channels in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate your body to produce collagen and elastin—leading to smoother, firmer, and more even-toned skin.


Add-ons are available to elevate your results:

  • PRP Add-On ($200): Uses your own growth factors to enhance skin healing and regeneration.

  • EXO|E Exosomes Add-On ($250): Advanced plant-derived exosomes support cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and improve skin texture and tone post-treatment

​

Microneedling starts at $350. Packages and add-ons are discussed during your consultation.

What Can Microneedling Treat?

Acne Scars

Breaks up fibrous scar tissue and supports collagen remodeling for smoother skin.

Active Acne & Congestion

As part of our acne-specific microneedling protocol, we tailor the depth, products, and post-care to help calm inflammation, reduce breakouts, and clear congested pores while supporting skin healing.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Stimulates collagen to soften surface-level lines and improve skin thickness.

Large Pores

Helps tighten and resurface pore size over time.

Hyperpigmentation & Melasma

Improves skin clarity and supports even tone by accelerating cell turnover.

Stretch Marks & Texture Irregularities

Reduces the appearance of stretch marks and uneven skin texture on face or body.

FAQ

What’s the difference between microneedling with PRP vs. with exosomes?
PRP uses your own growth factors for healing and collagen support, while EXO|E exosomes are plant-derived messengers that calm inflammation, repair skin, and reduce pigmentation. Both are excellent options,

 

How many sessions will I need?
For best results, most clients need 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Maintenance every few months helps keep results long-term.

 

Does it hurt?
Numbing cream is applied before the procedure, so most clients feel only mild discomfort—like a light sandpaper sensation.

 

Can I wear makeup after?
You’ll need to wait 24 hours before applying makeup. We’ll send you home with aftercare instructions and product recommendations.

 

Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes! Microneedling is safe and effective across all skin tones when done with medical-grade protocols.

 

Can I do this before an event?
Schedule your appointment at least 7 days before any major event, just in case you have redness, dryness, or mild flaking.
