Types of Microneedling We Offer
Traditional Microneedling with Rejuvapen
Rejuvapen® is our primary device for traditional microneedling. Rejuvapen microneedling creates precise microchannels in the skin to stimulate collagen production and support natural skin renewal. This option is ideal for improving texture, tone, and early signs of aging with minimal downtime.
PRP Microneedling
This treatment pairs microneedling with your own platelet-rich plasma to help the skin repair itself and improve overall appearance. The plasma is applied immediately after microneedling to support the skin’s natural healing response and improve overall texture and tone. PRP microneedling treatment recommendations and pricing considerations are reviewed during consultation based on individual skin goals.
Microneedling with PDGF
Microneedling with PDGF, sometimes called PDGF microneedling, uses platelet-derived growth factors to further support skin repair and collagen stimulation. This option is often selected by patients seeking enhanced rejuvenation without adding volume or fillers.
Microneedling with Exosomes
Microneedling with exosomes enhances traditional treatment by applying bioactive signaling molecules immediately after microneedling to support skin repair and cellular renewal. This advanced approach, often referred to as exosomes microneedling, is designed to improve skin texture, promote regeneration, and enhance overall radiance over time.
Microneedling with Sylfirm X or Virtue
Microneedling uses radiofrequency energy delivered through microneedles to treat deeper skin layers. Sylfirm X microneedling and Virtue RF microneedling differ from traditional microneedling because they combine controlled needle penetration with energy delivery rather than manual microchannels alone.
- Sylfirm X treatment targets texture, redness, and pigmentation using dual wave RF technology
- Virtue microneedling and Virtue RF microneedling focus on skin remodeling and firmness with customizable depth and energy
Your Microneedling Experience at Carolina Facial Plastics in Charlotte
Your Consultation
Every microneedling treatment begins with a personalized consultation. During this visit, your skin concerns, goals, and medical history are carefully reviewed. Based on your needs, we determine whether traditional microneedling, PRP microneedling, microneedling with PDGF, microneedling with exosomes, or RF options such as Sylfirm X microneedling or Virtue RF microneedling are most appropriate. You will also receive guidance on pretreatment skincare and expectations.
Your Procedure
Microneedling treatments are performed using Rejuvapen microneedling or advanced RF devices when indicated. A topical numbing agent is applied to maximize comfort. For enhanced treatments, PRP, PDGF, or exosomes are applied immediately following microneedling to support skin renewal. The procedure is efficient and typically completed within one hour.
Your Results
Following treatment, mild redness and sensitivity are common and usually resolve within a few days. As collagen production increases, skin texture, tone, and overall radiance continue to improve over the following weeks. Results are progressive, with many patients choosing a series of treatments to maintain long-term skin quality. A professional at-home skincare regimen is always recommended to help protect and extend results.

Microneedling FAQ
What is the cost of microneedling in Charlotte, NC?
The cost of microneedling varies depending on the treatment selected and whether enhancements such as PRP microneedling or RF technology are included. During your consultation, your provider will review recommended options and associated costs. Pricing is based on your skin goals and treatment plan.
How long do the results of microneedling last?
Microneedling results develop gradually as collagen production increases over several weeks. Improvements in texture and tone may be maintained with a series of treatments. Many patients choose periodic maintenance sessions to support long-term skin quality.
Is microneedling painful?
A topical numbing agent is applied before treatment to help minimize discomfort. Most patients describe microneedling as a tolerable sensation rather than painful. Enhanced treatments such as microneedling with exosomes or PDGF microneedling are performed with the same comfort-focused approach.
What are the side effects of microneedling?
After microneedling, it is common to experience temporary redness, mild swelling, and skin sensitivity. These effects typically resolve within a few days as the skin begins its natural healing process. Most patients can return to normal activities shortly after treatment.
How long does each microneedling procedure take?
Most microneedling sessions take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area and technique used. Treatments such as Rejuvapen microneedling or RF-based options may vary slightly in length. Your provider will review timing expectations in advance.
If I had Botox or Dysport, can I undergo microneedling treatments?
Yes, microneedling can be safely performed after neuromodulator treatments when proper timing is followed. Your provider will recommend an appropriate interval to help protect results. This ensures both treatments work effectively together.
If I have had facial dermal fillers, can I undergo microneedling treatments?
Microneedling is often performed safely in patients with fillers when treatment depth and timing are carefully planned. Areas with filler may be avoided or adjusted as needed. This approach helps preserve filler placement while improving skin quality.
Are there age restrictions for microneedling?
Microneedling is appropriate for adult patients seeking to improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Eligibility is determined during consultation based on skin condition rather than age alone. A personal recommendation ensures safe and effective treatment outcomes.
