Microneedling

Microneedling at Mara's Med Spa uses controlled micro-injury to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture, fine lines, acne scarring, and enlarged pores. Optional PRP or PRF enhancement concentrates growth factors at the treatment site for accelerated healing. Available as part of the TriBella combination protocol or as a standalone session.

Microneedling at Mara's Med Spa Uptown Dallas uses a medical-grade device to create thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering the body's natural wound-healing cascade to produce new collagen and elastin. The treatment addresses a wide range of concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, uneven skin texture, and early skin laxity. The clinic offers microneedling with optional PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) enhancement. Both use a small draw of the client's own blood, which is centrifuged to concentrate growth factors and bioactive proteins. PRF, the more advanced option, releases growth factors slowly over several days due to its fibrin matrix structure, providing a more sustained healing signal at the treatment site compared to liquid PRP. Microneedling is also incorporated into Mara's TriBella combination protocol — delivered alongside an IPL photofacial and RF skin tightening in a single visit — addressing different layers of skin concern simultaneously. This stacked approach is particularly popular among Uptown Dallas and McKinney Ave clientele who prefer fewer appointments with broader coverage. A standard microneedling series typically involves 3–6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, with maintenance sessions every 3–6 months thereafter. Results become visible as new collagen matures over 4–6 weeks following each treatment, with cumulative improvements throughout a full series. The clinic's Uptown Dallas location at 2222 McKinney Ave serves clients from across the DFW metroplex seeking collagen induction therapy and skin quality improvement.
