Six board-certified, fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeons oversee every protocol, while highly credentialed nurse practitioners and registered nurses calibrate each pass to your exact skin tone, goals, and calendar. We craft a personalized plan that delivers maximum results with minimal downtime.

Microneedling Overview

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling—also known as collagen-induction therapy—uses medical-grade needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the epidermis and superficial dermis. These controlled “micro-injuries” awaken your body's wound-healing cascade, summoning fibroblasts to deposit fresh collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.

Over the next weeks, new structural proteins fill gaps, re-align damaged fibers, and boost intrinsic hydration, making the skin stronger, smoother, and more luminous. Southern Surgical Arts amplifies this proven science with two elite platforms—Sylfirm X RF and Rejuvapen—selected for their safety profile, depth precision, and transformative results across Atlanta's diverse complexions.

Benefits of Microneedling

A tailored series of microneedling in Atlanta delivers layered advantages built for a city that demands multitasking efficiency:

Reduces scars & pores: Collagen remodeling lifts acne/surgical scars and tightens enlarged pores for smoother, more refined skin.
Softens lines & wrinkles: Fresh collagen plumps fine lines while maintaining natural facial expression.
Improves texture & tone: Smoother elastin structure evens texture, reduces redness, and minimizes discoloration.
Enhances product absorption: Micro-channels allow serums and growth factors to penetrate far deeper than topical use alone.
Safe for all skin tones: Adjustable depth and energy settings make treatment suitable year-round for most Fitzpatrick types.
Boosts confidence: Clearer, smoother skin reduces reliance on makeup and supports greater comfort in public-facing moments.

Ideal Candidates for Microneedling in Atlanta

Great candidates include adults of any gender frustrated by acne scars, uneven texture, fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, or mild laxity.

Microneedling also serves those sensitive to chemical peels or inappropriate for high-heat lasers due to darker pigment. Contraindications include active cystic breakouts, uncontrolled eczema, open lesions, current isotretinoin use (within three months), or a history of hypertrophic scarring. During your consultation, we'll examine your medical history, medication list, and timeline targets to verify that microneedling aligns with your health and ambitions.

Patient Testimonials

Our Microneedling Technologies

Sylfirm X RF

Sylfirm X pairs 25 gold-plated microneedles with dual-wave radiofrequency (RF) energy. As each needle enters vertically, pulsed RF heat coagulates micro-vessels, tightens collagen bundles, and disperses unwanted pigment—all while sparing surrounding tissue. The synergy addresses laxity, redness, and texture in one 30-minute lunch break, often with zero anesthesia and near-invisible downtime.

Rejuvapen

When acne scarring, enlarged pores, or surface polish top your priority list, Rejuvapen's heat-free precision shines. Twelve surgical-steel needles oscillate up to 12,000 strokes per minute, penetrating 0.2 mm to 2.5 mm in half-millimeter increments. The absence of thermal energy makes Rejuvapen ideal for melanin-rich Fitzpatrick IV–V skin, preventing pigment shifts while delivering impressive smoothing.

Personal Consultation

Your 45-minute session unfolds in our modern Atlanta medspa. We begin with VISIA imaging to map pores, pigment, and vascular dynamics invisible to the naked eye. Together, we identify your primary goals—scar reshaping, pore tightening, pigment balancing—and match them to Sylfirm X RF, Rejuvapen, or a hybrid protocol. We'll review pre-treatment skincare changes (pausing strong acids, emphasizing SPF 50) and provide you with treatment dates, after-care steps, transparent pricing, and membership discount options.

The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive, ensuring that every aspect of my visit exceeded my expectations. The ambiance of the salon was serene and inviting, creating the perfect atmosphere for relaxation.

Preparing for Microneedling

30 Days Prior:

Discontinue isotretinoin; wear broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.

7 Days Prior:

Avoid tanning beds, sunbathing, waxing, and exfoliating acids; stop blood-thinning supplements like fish oil.

3 Days Prior:

Skip NSAIDs; double down on barrier-building moisturizers.

Day Of:

Arrive makeup-free; if prone to cold sores, begin antiviral meds 48 hours beforehand.

The Microneedling Procedure

After check-in, you'll relax beneath soft lighting and curated playlists. A double cleanse removes impurities, followed by 20 minutes of prescription-strength lidocaine. Once numbed, your skin is disinfected. With Sylfirm X, each microneedle insertion releases controlled RF warmth—you might feel a series of gentle pulses rated 2–3 on a ten-point scale. Rejuvapen's sensation resembles a low-speed electric toothbrush gliding in cross-hatched passes.

Full-face treatment wraps in roughly 30 minutes; adding neck and chest extends chair time to about 45 minutes. A chilled copper-peptide mask calms residual warmth, growth-factor serum dives into fresh channels, and SPF 50 seals your barrier. Before departing, you'll receive a printed after-care guide: hydrate diligently, avoid intense workouts, pools, and saunas for 48 hours, and let any micro-crusting shed naturally over three to five days.

Recovery & Results

For the first evening, anticipate mild redness akin to a light sunburn and subtle tightness. Most pinkness calms by morning; Sylfirm X recipients may see pinpoint bronze flecks (“coffee grounds”) that lift within three days.

Makeup or mineral sunscreen is safe after 24 hours, though newfound dewiness often tempts patients to go bare-faced. Collagen remodeling accelerates over the next three months: pores narrow, fine lines soften, scars blur, and tone brightens.

Standard plans involve three treatments spaced four weeks apart, then maintenance every six months to preserve progress. Pairing sessions with exosomes or PRP can further shorten redness and amplify the brightness curve.

Corresponding & Complementary Procedures

BBL® Photofacial:

Tackle stubborn pigment and redness between microneedling rounds for multi-layer clarity.

HALO® Hybrid Laser:

Add fractional resurfacing for deeper sun damage without prolonged peeling.

BOTOX® / Xeomin:

Disable dynamic wrinkles one week prior so microneedling can sharpen texture while neuromodulators soften movement lines.

Ask your provider for a personalized layering timeline that respects healing intervals and event deadlines.

Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions

Ready to lift scars, tighten pores, and reveal powerhouse skin that keeps pace with Atlanta's energy? Contact Southern Surgical Arts today to reserve your microneedling appointment.

Can microneedling treat stubborn boxcar scars on my cheeks?

Yes. Microneedling gradually breaks down fibrotic scar walls and induces new collagen, elevating boxcar depressions. Severe cases may benefit from combining RF microneedling with fractional laser or subcision for optimal smoothing.

Is microneedling safe for Fitzpatrick V skin?

Generally yes, because it relies on mechanical channels rather than high-heat ablation. Our team adjusts needle depth, pass count, and post-procedure pigmentation serums to minimize post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk.

How quickly will I notice improvement?

Many patients spot an instant “glass-skin” glow within days, but deeper texture and scar changes unfold over four to twelve weeks as collagen matures. Results compound with each session.

Can I layer platelet-rich plasma or exosome serums during microneedling?

Absolutely. These biologic boosters leverage open channels to accelerate healing, reduce redness, and potentiate collagen output, often enhancing final brightness and smoothness.

When can I resume strenuous exercise?

Light walks are fine the next day, but wait 48 hours before high-intensity workouts, saunas, or hot yoga to avoid excessive heat and sweat on freshly treated skin.

Does microneedling hurt?

Microneedling is generally well-tolerated, but some patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure. To minimize discomfort, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area, ensuring the procedure is as comfortable as possible. Any redness or sensitivity usually fades within a few hours to a day.
