SkinPen Microneedling

Aviva Medical Spa uses the FDA-cleared SkinPen device for professional microneedling treatments targeting fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture. Each session creates controlled micro-channels to trigger the skin's natural collagen and elastin repair response. The clinic also offers a Vampire Facial combining SkinPen microneedling with topical PRP application for enhanced regenerative results. A series of sessions spaced several weeks apart is typically recommended, with one to two days of redness post-treatment.

SkinPen by Bellus Medical is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the US, and Aviva Medical Spa's estheticians and clinical team are trained in its full protocol range. The device uses sterile, single-use needle cartridges with precise depth control, allowing customised treatment of the face, neck, and décolletage depending on the concern being addressed. Microneedling works by creating thousands of micro-injuries per second at controlled depths, stimulating the skin's wound-healing cascade without thermal damage. The result is increased production of type I and type III collagen and elastin, gradually improving skin density, tone, and surface texture over weeks following each session. Indications treated at Aviva include fine lines and periorbital wrinkles, atrophic acne scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and general dullness or uneven skin tone. The Vampire Facial at the clinic combines SkinPen with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) applied directly onto the skin immediately after needling, so active growth factors penetrate the open micro-channels for amplified regenerative signalling. This combination is particularly popular for clients seeking accelerated scar remodelling or brighter complexion improvement. Downtime is typically one to two days of redness resembling a mild sunburn. A series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is commonly recommended for optimal collagen remodelling. Pricing is available on consultation. Located in the Miami Design District and serving clients from Wynwood, Midtown Miami, Brickell, and throughout South Florida.
