INTRODUCTION TO MICRONEEDLING
Over time, acne scars, enlarged pores, and the natural loss of collagen can leave your skin looking dull and textured. At Celebrity Medspa by Michael Keyes, M.D., our advanced microneedling treatments are designed to stimulate your body's natural healing cascade. By pairing traditional collagen induction therapy with powerful add-ons like PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), Exosomes, or targeted Neurotoxins, our expert team in Hollywood, FL, is here to help you achieve a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion without the extended downtime of heavy lasers.
What is Advanced Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, uses a medical-grade device with ultra-fine needles to create thousands of invisible micro-punctures in the skin's surface. This controlled micro-injury triggers your body to produce massive amounts of fresh collagen and elastin. To supercharge your results, we infuse powerful serums during the treatment:
Microneedling with PRP: Often called the "Vampire Facial," this utilizes the growth factors from your own blood to exponentially accelerate healing, cellular turnover, and collagen production.
Microneedling with Exosomes: Harnesses the power of highly concentrated, lab-derived stem cell messengers to reduce inflammation and promote profound anti-aging and tissue repair without a blood draw.
Microneedling with Toxin: Infuses a micro-dose of neurotoxin (like Botox) just below the skin's surface to shrink pores, reduce oil production, and create a flawless "glass skin" effect without affecting muscle movement.
Targeted Skin Concerns
- Acne Scarring: Breaking down old scar tissue and filling in pitted or depressed scars.
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Plumping the skin from the inside out to smooth crow's feet, lip lines, and forehead creases.
- Enlarged Pores: Tightening the skin to visibly reduce pore size and refine texture.
- Uneven Tone: Smoothing rough patches and lifting hyperpigmentation or sun damage for a flawless finish.
What are the Benefits of Microneedling?
Many of our Hollywood patients choose advanced microneedling for these key benefits:
- Natural Results: Utilizes your body's own biological processes to rebuild the skin's structural integrity.
- Customizable Infusions: Tailored entirely to your skin's exact needs with PRP, exosomes, or specialized serums.
- Safe for All Skin Types: Unlike some aggressive lasers, microneedling is highly safe for melanin-rich skin (Fitzpatrick IV-VI) and carries a very low risk of hyperpigmentation.
- Minimal Downtime: Enjoy significant skin remodeling with only a few days of mild redness.
- Versatile: Can be performed on the face, neck, décolletage, or anywhere on the body showing signs of aging or stretch marks.

What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your comfort is paramount at Celebrity Medspa. We begin by applying a medical-grade topical numbing cream to the treatment area for 30 to 45 minutes to ensure a painless experience. If you are receiving PRP, a quick, routine blood draw is performed while you numb. Once ready, your practitioner will glide the microneedling pen across your skin, creating micro-channels while simultaneously infusing your chosen serum deep into the dermis. The actual needling process takes about 20 to 30 minutes. You will leave the clinic with a specialized healing layer on your face to protect and nourish your fresh skin.

Are You a Good Candidate?
Microneedling is one of the most versatile and universally beneficial treatments we offer. You may be a great candidate if you:
- Suffer from acne scarring, surgical scars, or stretch marks.
- Want to minimize fine lines, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.
- Are looking for a highly effective anti-aging treatment with minimal downtime.
- Have a darker skin type and want a safe, effective alternative to heavy laser resurfacing.
- Are in good health and do not have active acne breakouts or skin infections in the treatment area.
How Much Does Ellacor Cost?
The cost of microneedling is highly customized based on the serums or biological add-ons you choose. A standard session will differ in price from an advanced treatment utilizing your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) or cutting-edge Exosomes. Because collagen building is a cumulative process, we highly recommend a series of 3 to 6 sessions for the absolute best results. During your consultation, our Patient Coordinator will provide a transparent quote for individual sessions or discounted packages. We also offer financing options.
Recovery and Aftercare
Proper aftercare is essential to protect your open micro-channels and maximize your results. Following your treatment, we strictly recommend:
- No Sun Exposure: Avoid direct sunlight and wear a wide-brimmed hat for the first few days. Apply physical SPF only when cleared by your provider.
- Keep it Clean: Avoid touching your face, sweating heavily, or visiting saunas for 48 to 72 hours to prevent infection.
- Hold the Makeup: Let your skin breathe and heal without makeup or tinted moisturizers for at least 24 to 48 hours.
- Pause Active Ingredients: Stop using Retin-A, AHAs, BHAs, and Vitamin C for 5 to 7 days to avoid severe irritation.
Microneedling FAQs
YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED BY THE BEST IN MIAMI
Does microneedling hurt?
Does microneedling hurt?
We use a strong, medical-grade numbing cream before the procedure. Most patients feel only a light vibration and consider the treatment very comfortable.
What is the difference between PRP and Exosomes?
What is the difference between PRP and Exosomes?
PRP uses growth factors derived directly from your own blood to stimulate healing. Exosomes are lab-derived, highly concentrated stem cell messengers that are incredibly powerful for reducing inflammation and accelerating anti-aging without the need for a blood draw.
How does microneedling with Toxin work?
How does microneedling with Toxin work?
Also known as a "Glass Skin" facial, we stamp a micro-dose of neurotoxin (like Botox) into the superficial layers of the skin. It doesn't freeze your muscles; instead, it targets sweat glands and pores to reduce oil production, shrink pore size, and eliminate facial redness.
How many treatments do I need?
How many treatments do I need?
For general glowing and maintenance, 1 to 3 treatments are fantastic. For deeper acne scars or pronounced wrinkles, a series of 4 to 6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart is usually necessary for optimal remodeling.
Can I do this if I have active acne?
Can I do this if I have active acne?
We do not recommend microneedling over active, inflamed acne as it can spread bacteria. We can treat you once the active breakout has cleared to help erase the residual scarring and hyperpigmentation.
