Microneedling Treatments
Naturally Stimulate Collagen. Restore Smoother, Healthier Skin.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment designed to stimulate your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, this treatment activates the body’s healing response — improving tone, texture, and overall skin quality from within.
At our physician-led medical practice, your treatment is performed with medical precision, safety, and a deep understanding of skin anatomy — ensuring results that are both effective and natural-looking.
What Does Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling can improve:
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and surgical scars
Enlarged pores
Uneven skin texture
Sun damage
Hyperpigmentation
Stretch marks
Mild skin laxity
Over a series of treatments, patients typically notice smoother skin, improved firmness, and a brighter, more even complexion.
Can Microneedling Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Yes. Microneedling pairs exceptionally well with:
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
Medical-grade skincare
Tox treatments (click here for our botulinum tox details)
Laser or energy-based therapies
We will design a personalized treatment plan based on your goals and skin condition.
What To Expect
Treatment Time: 30–60 minutes
Comfort: Optional topical numbing cream is applied for comfort but most patients do not experience more than slight discomfort
Downtime: 24–48 hours of minimal to mild redness (similar to a sunburn)
Results: Gradual improvement over 4–6 weeks as collagen rebuilds
For optimal results, most patients benefit from a series of 3–4 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. However, many patients see results after just one treatment.
Medical-Grade, FDA-Cleared Technology
Unlike traditional medspas, we are a physician-led medical clinic that prioritizes both safety and results. Your skin is evaluated from a medical perspective, allowing us to assess underlying skin conditions, determine whether combination therapy such as PRP, tox, or medical-grade skincare is appropriate, and customize needle depth and technique based on your unique facial anatomy.
We exclusively use FDA-cleared microneedling equipment that meets strict safety and performance standards, ensuring precise, controlled treatment with consistent results. Combined with sterile technique and evidence-based protocols, this level of medical oversight provides enhanced safety, greater precision, and optimized outcomes you simply won’t find in a typical medspa setting.
Physician-Guided Microneedling Precision
All microneedling treatments at Denali East Group are directly performed by Dr. Patel, a board-certified physician with advanced training in facial anatomy. This physician-led approach brings a level of medical judgment, anatomical expertise, and precision that extends far beyond surface-level skincare.
Over the course of his medical career, Dr. Patel has performed many thousands of procedures and injections across the body in diverse clinical settings—refining technical skill, tactile precision, and a deep understanding of tissue planes and healing physiology. That experience directly informs a meticulous, deliberate approach to microneedling, where depth selection, technique, and skin response must be carefully calibrated to achieve optimal collagen stimulation while maintaining safety.
In many states, non-medical providers such as estheticians are limited to superficial microneedling depths, often no greater than 1 mm. As a licensed medical professional, Dr. Patel is able to safely treat at deeper levels when clinically appropriate. This expanded capability allows for more robust collagen stimulation in areas that require greater remodeling—particularly in cases of acne scarring, deeper wrinkles, or more advanced textural concerns.
This model allows for:
Advanced anatomical understanding
Precise depth customization based on skin thickness and treatment area
The ability to safely treat beyond superficial depths when indicated
Safer technique and controlled tissue response
Integration of cosmetic and medical goals when appropriate
We do not rely on one-size-fits-all treatment settings or cookie-cutter protocols. Every session begins with a thoughtful consultation and clear discussion of goals, skin history, and expectations—ensuring results that are intentional, refined, and individualized.
