Microneedling

The med spa at Dr. Salomon's South Miami clinic offers microneedling treatments to support skin renewal and collagen production. The procedure uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin surface, triggering the skin's natural repair response. This may support improvements in skin texture, pore appearance, fine lines, mild acne scarring, and overall complexion evenness over a series of sessions. Mild redness and sensitivity are common for 24 to 48 hours after each treatment. A series of three to six sessions is often recommended.

Microneedling at Dr. Jhonny Salomon's South Miami med spa uses a motorized micro-needling device to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries across the skin surface, stimulating the skin's natural wound-healing cascade and driving collagen and elastin production in the dermis. The treatment is well-suited to patients looking for skin quality improvements without the downtime associated with ablative laser resurfacing or chemical peeling. Very fine needles (typically 0.5 to 2.5 mm in length, adjusted by treatment area and concern) create temporary channels through the epidermis and into the upper dermis. These micro-channels trigger a local healing response in which growth factors are released and fibroblasts — the cells responsible for producing collagen and elastin — are activated. Over the weeks and months following treatment, this process may contribute to a firmer, smoother, more evenly textured skin surface. Microneedling at this practice may address fine lines and early wrinkles, particularly on the face and neck; enlarged pores and rough surface texture; superficial acne scarring; uneven skin tone and mild dullness; and stretch marks on the body. Treatment sessions typically take 30 to 45 minutes, including the application of a topical numbing cream 20 to 30 minutes before the procedure begins. Most patients experience mild redness — similar to a moderate sunburn — for 24 to 48 hours after treatment, followed by light flaking as the skin surface renews. There is no extended downtime for most patients. A series of three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart is commonly recommended to achieve meaningful improvements, with maintenance sessions thereafter. The procedure is frequently combined with topical growth factor serums or hyaluronic acid applied into the micro-channels immediately after treatment to enhance outcomes. At Dr. Salomon's practice, microneedling is one of several med spa options positioned alongside more intensive laser treatments and surgical procedures, allowing patients to choose a level of intervention appropriate to their goals and recovery preferences. The HydraFacial is also available as a skin treatment option at the clinic.
