Microneedling
Collagen-Boosting Microneedling Treatments
Microneedling treatments at Carrington Medical in Pensacola are a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing response to improve texture, tone, and firmness. At Carrington Medical, we offer both Cold Microneedling and Radiofrequency (RF) “Hot” Microneedling, allowing treatments to be customized based on your skin concerns, goals, and tolerance for downtime. Whether you are seeking subtle refinement or more intensive collagen remodeling, microneedling offers a versatile solution for healthier, more youthful-looking skin.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a results-driven skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates the body’s natural production of collagen and elastin to improve overall skin texture, tone, and firmness. Using fine, medical-grade needles, controlled microchannels are created in the skin to trigger cellular renewal while also maximizing the absorption of professional serums and active ingredients applied during treatment.
This process helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture, while promoting smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin over time. Because collagen production continues for weeks after each session, results gradually improve as the skin rebuilds and strengthens itself from within.
Microneedling is typically recommended as a series of at least three treatments for optimal improvement, with sessions spaced several weeks apart depending on skin type and treatment intensity.
At Carrington Medical, microneedling treatments can be performed using either traditional cold microneedling for gentle skin refinement or hot microneedling with the Secret PRO® Radiofrequency (RF) system for deeper collagen remodeling and tightening. This allows treatments to be fully customized based on your skin concerns, goals, and desired recovery time.
Cold Microneedling: Gentle Skin Renewal
Cold microneedling is a traditional microneedling treatment that focuses on improving skin quality. It uses fine, medical-grade needles, to create controlled microchannels in the skin to enhance cellular renewal and maximize product absorption without added heat energy. This option is ideal for patients seeking noticeable improvement with minimal discomfort and downtime.
Cold microneedling may help improve:
Fine lines and early signs of aging
Uneven texture and dull skin
Enlarged pores
Mild acne scarring
Skin hydration and radiance
Because this technique does not use heat, recovery is typically quick, with mild redness that usually resolves within 24 to 48 hours. Cold microneedling is an excellent option for routine skin maintenance and gradual improvement over a series of treatments.
Radiofrequncy (RF) "Hot" Microneedling
For patients seeking more dramatic tightening and collagen stimulation, we offer Microneedling treatments using the Secret PRO® system, an advanced radiofrequency (RF) microneedling technology. This treatment combines microneedling with controlled thermal energy delivered directly into the deeper layers of the skin.
The addition of RF energy allows for deeper collagen remodeling, making this treatment highly effective for more significant skin laxity and texture concerns.
Hot microneedling may help improve:
-
Skin laxity and sagging
-
Moderate acne scarring
-
Wrinkles and crepey skin
-
Uneven texture and tone
-
Overall skin firmness and elasticity
Because this treatment penetrates deeper and stimulates more aggressive collagen production, downtime may be slightly longer than cold microneedling, with redness and mild swelling that can last a few days.
Optional Enhancements to Boost Your Results
To further enhance the benefits of microneedling, optional advanced add-ons may be incorporated into your treatment plan, including:
Exosomes, to support cellular regeneration, reduce inflammation, and accelerate skin repair
Peptides, to strengthen the skin barrier and improve firmness and elasticity
Growth factors, to enhance collagen production and promote faster healing
These enhancements can significantly elevate treatment outcomes by supporting deeper rejuvenation and faster recovery, making them an excellent option for patients seeking more dramatic or longer-lasting improvements in skin quality.
Your provider will help determine which enhancements are best suited to your skin and treatment goals during your personalized consultation.
