Rebuild Healthier
Skin From Within

Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates your natural collagen and elastin production. At Nova Aesthetics, we use the FDA-cleared ExCeed medical microneedling device to create precise microchannels in the skin, activating the skin’s natural repair process. As new collagen fibers develop, microneedling can improve the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and overall skin quality with minimal downtime.

Microneedling Treats:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and other atrophic scars
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Dull, lackluster skin
  • Mild skin laxity
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Rough or crepey skin
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Early signs of aging

The Science Behind ExCeed Microneedling

The ExCeed microneedling device uses a precision-controlled motor to create thousands of microscopic channels at customized depths within the epidermis and superficial dermis. These micro-injuries trigger your natural wound-healing response, activating fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin. Over the following weeks and months, this collagen remodeling process strengthens the skin’s underlying structure, improving the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven texture while preserving the surrounding tissue.

Your Microneedling Add-On Options

Every treatment at Nova Aesthetics is tailored to your skin’s needs and goals. Depending on your specific concerns, we may recommend enhancing your ExCeed microneedling treatment with regenerative therapies that support healing and optimize your results.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)

PRP uses a concentrated portion of your own blood containing platelets and growth factors. Applied immediately after microneedling, PRP is delivered through the newly formed microchannels to support tissue repair, stimulate collagen production, and enhance overall skin rejuvenation.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)

PRF is an advanced regenerative treatment that contains platelets, fibrin, white blood cells, and growth factors in a slower-releasing matrix. When paired with microneedling, PRF provides prolonged biological stimulation that supports ongoing collagen remodeling and skin renewal.

Your Complete Microneedling Experience

Your treatment begins with a consultation to evaluate your skin and develop a personalized plan. After cleansing your skin, a topical numbing cream is applied to maximize comfort. Once you’re numb, your provider uses the ExCeed device to create thousands of microchannels at customized depths across the treatment area. Depending on your goals, PRP or PRF may also be applied to enhance your treatment. Most appointments take about 60 minutes.

After treatment, you can expect redness, warmth, and slight swelling similar to a mild sunburn for 24 to 48 hours, followed by temporary dryness or light flaking. Most people resume normal activities the next day. Your skin often appears brighter within a week, while collagen remodeling continues for several months. A series of 3 to 6 treatments, followed by maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months, typically provides the most comprehensive results.

FAQs

It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after your appointment to allow the microscopic treatment channels to close and your skin to recover. Your provider will recommend an aftercare routine, including gentle skincare products, daily sunscreen, and temporary avoidance of harsh active ingredients until your skin has fully healed.

Most patients find ExCeed microneedling very comfortable. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize discomfort, and your provider carefully adjusts the treatment depth based on the area being treated. At Nova Aesthetics, your comfort is always a priority, and we offer advanced patient comfort measures to help create a relaxing experience.

Your body continues producing new collagen for several months after each treatment. While collagen naturally declines with age, maintaining a healthy skincare routine and scheduling periodic maintenance treatments can help preserve smoother, firmer, healthier-looking skin. Your provider will recommend a maintenance schedule based on your skin and goals.
