Microneedling

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a professional skin rejuvenation treatment that uses fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. This triggers your body’s natural healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin for smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a go-to solution for addressing texture, tone, and early signs of aging, without the downtime of more aggressive treatments.

Why Choose Microneedling at The Injection Nurse Skin Clinic?

At The Injection Nurse Skin Clinic, we use professional-grade microneedling devices for precise depth control and maximum results. Every treatment is tailored to your specific skin concerns, and we often pair microneedling with medical-grade serums or PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for enhanced healing and a radiant glow.

Our experienced team ensures a comfortable, effective treatment in a warm and professional setting.

What are Microneedling Add-Ons?

Enhance your microneedling results with powerful add-ons to your treatment, such as Sculptra, PRP (platelet-rich plasma), skin boosters, and exosomes, and VAMP. These treatments amplify collagen production, accelerate healing, and target specific concerns like texture, elasticity, and tone.

Sculptra

Microneedling with Sculptra is a combined approach that brings complete rejuvenation to facial appearance. Both procedures work on their own to stimulate collagen production in the dermis, their united efforts boost each others' effects, doubling their youthful benefits.

Sculptra Cost: $650

PRP (platelet-rich plasma)

PRP can enhance collagen and elastin production in deeper skin levels. Microneedling with PRP effectively treats acne scars, surgical scars, wrinkles, and fine lines, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, large pores, uneven skin texture irregularities, and it helps to decrease the appearance of stretch marks.

Skin Boosters Add-On

ZO Skin Health Serum customized to your skin concerns.

Skin Boosters Cost: $350

Exosomes Add-On

Exosomes are tiny, cell-derived messengers rich in growth factors, peptides, and proteins that support skin regeneration. When applied during or after microneedling, they penetrate deeper into the skin through the microchannels created by the treatment, supercharging the healing process. This powerful combination boosts collagen and elastin production, accelerates recovery, reduces redness and inflammation, and enhances overall results—leaving the skin firmer, smoother, and more radiant.

Exosomes Cost: $650

VAMP Add-On

VAMP (Vitamins, Amino Acids, Minerals, and PDRN) is a powerful microneedling add-on that enhances skin repair, hydration, and rejuvenation. This blend delivers essential nutrients deep into the skin, boosting collagen production, accelerating healing, and improving texture and tone. PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), a regenerative compound, supports cell turnover and tissue repair, making VAMP an ideal choice for those seeking brighter, firmer, and more resilient skin with every microneedling session.
