Fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and skin laxity affect more people than you may realize. However, with advanced cosmetic treatments like microneedling, those concerns can be visibly improved.
At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, we offer SkinPen microneedling in Fort Lauderdale to rebuild your skin from the inside out.
What is microneedling, and how does it improve such a vast range of concerns? Find out in this article.
Microneedling: Rebuilding Your Skin’s Foundation
Your skin relies on two very important proteins to give it support and flexibility: collagen and elastin.
- Collagen – an abundant protein in your body that serves as the primary building block for your skin. Not only does it give your skin strength and firmness, it also plays a role in growing new cells and replacing old, damaged skin cells with new, healthy ones.
- Elastin – another vital protein that supports the flexibility of your skin. Elastin gives your skin the ability to move (when you talk and express emotions) and “snap back” into place (when your face is at rest).
As you age, your body’s production of collagen and elastin declines, leaving you more susceptible to:
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Skin laxity
- Rough skin texture
- Uneven skin tone
Microneedling is one of the many collagen producing treatments that we offer to give your skin the tools it needs to stimulate the production of these proteins.
How Does Microneedling Work?
When you’re injured, your body ramps up collagen production to heal your skin and repair damaged tissue.
With SkinPen microneedling in Fort Lauderdale, we create dozens of tiny, microscopic injuries that trigger your body’s natural healing process. This face treatment rebuilds collagen and elastin fibers on the inside, while helping with stretch marks, tightening skin, and reducing the appearance of pores on the outside.
You may notice an initial improvement in your skin’s appearance within a few weeks, with a brighter, smoother look. However, true collagen remodeling continues to develop over several months. With a series of treatments, results can last for several months and be maintained with periodic sessions.
Take Your Results Even Further With Morpheus8
While SkinPen is effective for improving surface texture and stimulating collagen, its impact is limited to more superficial layers of the skin.
Morpheus8 works at a deeper level.
By combining microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy, Morpheus8 delivers controlled heat into the dermis and subdermal tissue, where structural aging occurs. This deeper stimulation activates fibroblasts more intensely and triggers a more robust collagen remodeling response.
As a result, Morpheus8 is able to address concerns that go beyond surface-level skin quality, including:
- Skin laxity and jowling
- Deeper lines and wrinkles
- Acne scarring and textural irregularities
- Stretch marks and body skin laxity
Because it works beneath the surface, Morpheus8 helps rebuild the skin’s foundation, leading to firmer, tighter, and more resilient skin over time.
Initial improvements can be seen within a few weeks, but the most significant results develop gradually over 3 to 6 months as new collagen forms and remodels.
With a series of 1–3 treatments, results can last 12–18 months or longer, especially when supported with maintenance and complementary therapies.
From skin laxity to acne scarring to stretch marks, Morpheus8 can work from head-to-toe to improve a variety of skin concerns.
After a series of 1 to 4 sessions, your results from Morpheus8 can last for up to 1 year before you’ll need to come back for a maintenance session.
