What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling—also known as collagen induction therapy—uses fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the upper layers of your skin. This stimulates your body’s healing process, calling fibroblasts to produce collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid—the structural components that keep your skin smooth, firm, and hydrated. At Southern Surgical Arts in Calhoun, we go beyond basic microneedling with two leading-edge devices:

  • Sylfirm X RF: Combines microneedling with dual-wave radiofrequency for enhanced lifting, pigment correction, and vascular reduction.
  • Rejuvapen: A non-thermal option ideal for resurfacing scars and refining texture, especially on melanin-rich or sensitive skin.

Our Microneedling Devices in Calhoun

Sylfirm X RF Microneedling

This powerhouse platform uses 25 gold-plated microneedles and bipolar RF energy to tighten lax skin, break down pigmentation, and calm redness. Whether you're looking to lift jowls, fade sun spots, or reduce rosacea, Sylfirm X delivers deeper, more visible results with little to no downtime.

Rejuvapen

For patients targeting acne scars or enlarged pores, Rejuvapen offers controlled depth and precision without added heat—making it a safer choice for darker skin tones or those with active lifestyle demands. It’s great for smoothing rough texture and jump-starting collagen renewal gently and effectively.

Benefits of Microneedling in Calhoun

Patients choose microneedling for its safe, efficient, and multi-benefit approach:

  • Softens acne and surgical scars
  • Smooths fine lines and creases
  • Refines uneven texture and tone
  • Shrinks visible pores
  • Boosts firmness through collagen remodeling
  • Brightens sun-damaged or blotchy skin
  • Enhances absorption of growth factors, peptides, and serums
  • Minimal downtime—most redness fades within 48 hours
  • Safe for Fitzpatrick skin types I–V
  • Cost-effective compared to fractional lasers

Recovery & Results

Expect a flushed, sunburn-like look for 24–48 hours. Sylfirm X patients may see tiny pinpoint marks that flake off in a few days. Most people return to work or errands by the next morning, and visible texture improvement builds over 4–12 weeks as collagen production ramps up. We recommend a series of 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance every 6 months.

Pair With These Treatments

  • BBL: Tackle sunspots and redness between microneedling sessions
  • Chemical peels: Enhance tone and clarity
  • Neuromodulators (BOTOX®, Xeomin): Relax wrinkles before collagen kicks in
  • PRP or exosomes: Boost recovery and long-term skin quality
Background media

How Much Does Microneedling Cost in Calhoun?

Pricing is based on:

  • Device (Sylfirm X vs. Rejuvapen)
  • Areas treated
  • Session count
  • Add-ons (serums, exosomes, PRP)

During your consultation, we'll provide an itemized quote—including post-care products and membership discounts—so you can move forward with confidence and clarity.

Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions

Can it treat ice-pick or deep acne scars?

Microneedling improves most depressed scars, but deeper ice-pick types may require RF + laser or targeted excision. We’ll create a tailored plan.

Is it safe for dark skin?

Yes—especially with Rejuvapen. We adjust depths carefully to avoid hyperpigmentation and ensure safe outcomes for Fitzpatrick IV and V.

When will I see results?

You may notice a glow within a week, but collagen synthesis improves tone and texture over 2–3 months.

Can I combine it with PRP or growth factors?

Absolutely. Micro-channels increase penetration of regenerative serums for faster recovery and amplified results.

When can I work out again?

Avoid heavy sweating or steam for 48 hours. Light walking is fine the next day.
