A gentle series that softens the scars, smooths the texture, and brings back the glow your skin used to make on its own.
You arrive, we numb the skin, and a sterile 12-pin pen traces your face zone by zone — deeper where there's a stubborn acne scar, lighter across the cheek. The needling itself is about thirty minutes, and you'll feel pressure more than pain.
You leave a little pink, like a brisk walk in the cold. Over the next several weeks, your own skin does the work — building fresh collagen and elastin where we asked it to — and the texture you've been smoothing concealer over starts to actually soften.
If we add EZGEL PRF or Ariessence PDGF+, those growth factors slip straight through the open channels — so the same hour does double duty.

Who it helps.
The change isn't dramatic the next day — it's the quiet kind that shows up in the mirror a few weeks in, when your skin starts catching the light differently.
The same repair response that heals a paper cut, asked politely. New collagen settles in over weeks — firmer, smoother, more like the skin you remember.
Acne scars, surgical scars, the pore you keep noticing in selfies — softened across a series instead of camouflaged in the morning.
Pink for the rest of the day, calmer by morning, makeup-ready in 24 — 72 hours. No week off, no hiding.
The honest answers we give in consult — about comfort, the timeline, and what a series really looks like.
We numb the skin for 20 — 30 minutes first, so most patients describe it as pressure with a faint vibration — not pain. Bonier areas (forehead, jawline) feel a little more, the cheeks much less.
Pink and a little warm the rest of the day — like a brisk walk in the cold. By morning it’s calmer, and most patients are back in makeup at the 24 – 72 hour mark. No week off the calendar.
Early smoothing shows up around weeks 2 – 4 — that’s your skin starting to lay down fresh collagen. The fuller change — texture, scars, tone — settles in 3 – 6 months after the final session, because collagen remodeling is slow on purpose.
Most patients do 3 – 6 sessions spaced 4 – 6 weeks apart. Texture and glow respond on the lower end; acne scars and stretch marks usually want the full six. We re-evaluate at the halfway point.
When the channels are open, anything topical you put on slips deeper than it ever could on intact skin. Adding your own PRF or a recombinant PDGF+ is the difference between a good session and a session that quietly does double duty. We’ll talk through which one fits your skin and budget.
Active inflammatory acne — we wait, because needling can spread it. Melasma — we’re careful; depth and add-ons get adjusted, and sometimes a different modality is the better first move. That’s exactly what the consult is for.
We start with a quick look at your skin so the depth, the number of sessions, and any add-ons are chosen for what you walked in for — not a default we run on everyone.
