Improve acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and overall skin quality with MicroPen EVO™ microneedling. At Pink Opal Aesthetics, we pair advanced technology with personalized care to stimulate collagen production and help you look good and feel better!
Boost Collagen Production
From Within
Your skin is constantly renewing itself, but factors like aging, sun exposure, acne, and everyday wear slow its ability to produce collagen and elastin, the structural proteins that keep skin firm, smooth, and resilient. Collagen acts as the skin’s supportive framework. As that framework weakens, fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven texture become noticeable.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that encourages your skin to rebuild that framework naturally. At Pink Opal Aesthetics, we use the advanced MicroPen EVO to create thousands of precise microscopic channels in the skin, activating your body’s natural healing response and stimulating new collagen and elastin production. This helps improve texture, tone, and overall skin quality over time.

How MicroPen EVO Microneedling Works
MicroPen EVO uses sterile, ultra-fine needles to create thousands of precise microchannels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries activate your body’s natural wound-healing response, signaling specialized cells called fibroblasts to produce fresh collagen and elastin, the proteins responsible for firm, smooth, resilient skin. As your skin repairs itself, it gradually remodels damaged tissue, helping improve acne scars, fine lines, texture, pores, and overall skin quality.
Your Microneedling Booster Options
While MicroPen EVO stimulates your skin's natural renewal process on its own, pairing it with regenerative boosters can take your results even further. These advanced treatments deliver beneficial growth factors, signaling molecules, and other bioactive ingredients through the microchannels, helping support recovery while enhancing collagen production, hydration, and overall rejuvenation.
Microneedling With
PRP
Boost your treatment with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. After separating and concentrating your platelets, the PRP is applied during microneedling, allowing naturally occurring growth factors to penetrate the skin more effectively. These growth factors help support tissue repair, stimulate collagen production, and improve overall skin quality.
Microneedling With
PRF
Enhance your results with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), the next generation of platelet therapy. Unlike PRP, PRF is processed without anticoagulants, creating a fibrin matrix that gradually releases platelets, white blood cells, and growth factors over time. This slower release may provide longer-lasting regenerative support, helping improve skin firmness, hydration, texture, and healing for extended periods.
Microneedling With
Exosomes + PDRN or PDGF
Exosomes and PDRN (salmon DNA) work together to support skin repair, promote collagen production, and improve hydration, helping enhance skin texture, tone, and overall radiance. For patients seeking an alternative regenerative approach, PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) can be used to support skin recovery and improve the appearance of fine lines, texture, and other visible signs of aging.
FAQs
What Happens During My Appointment?
We’ll begin by evaluating your skin and discussing your goals. After cleansing your skin and applying a numbing cream, your provider will guide the MicroPen EVO across the treatment area. Depending on your treatment plan, we may also apply PRP, PRF, exosomes, PDRN, or Ariessence Pure PDGF+ to further support your skin’s recovery and rejuvenation.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
It’s normal to experience redness, mild swelling, tightness, and increased sensitivity afterward. These side effects usually improve within 24 to 72 hours. Your provider will also recommend a simple aftercare routine to protect your skin while it heals.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
That depends on your goals. Many patients benefit from a series of three treatments spaced several weeks apart. More advanced acne scars or deeper textural concerns may require additional sessions. We’ll create a personalized treatment plan for your skin.
When Will I Start Seeing Results?
You may notice a healthier glow within the first week as your skin recovers. However, collagen remodeling is a gradual biological process, so improvements in firmness, texture, pores, and scars continue to develop over the following weeks and months after each treatment.
