SkinPen Microneedling

FDA-cleared SkinPen microneedling performed by Viva's licensed aesthetic clinicians at the Dallas Preston Center location. Each session creates precise micro-channels in the skin to activate the body's natural collagen and elastin production cycle. Single sessions start at $450 for the face; series-of-three packages from $1,300 include medical-grade SkinCeuticals or Skinbetter Science skincare products valued up to $310. The protocol calls for three sessions spaced four weeks apart, with 24 hours of redness and next-day return to work.

Viva Day Spa + Med Spa Dallas performs microneedling using the SkinPen, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the United States and one of the most extensively validated platforms in aesthetic medicine. The device uses a disposable, sterile cartridge of fine-gauge needles oscillating at a calibrated frequency, creating thousands of micro-perforations across the treatment zone at controlled depths from 0.25 mm to 2.5 mm — adjusted by area and clinical indication. Each micro-injury initiates a three-phase wound healing response: the inflammatory phase releases platelet-derived and fibroblast-derived growth factors at the injury site; the proliferative phase drives fibroblast activation and new collagen and elastin deposition in the papillary and upper reticular dermis; and the remodelling phase over four to eight weeks matures the newly deposited collagen into organised fibrillar architecture that improves skin texture, firmness, and scar appearance. Treatment zones and pricing: - Face only: $450 per session; series of 3: $1,300 - Face and neck: $525 per session; series of 3: $1,500 - Face, neck, and chest: $600 per session; series of 3: $1,700 - Neck add-on to any existing service: $75 All series-of-three packages at Viva Dallas include a curated medical-grade skincare set from SkinCeuticals or Skinbetter Science — valued at up to $310 — selected to support post-treatment barrier healing and amplify results between sessions. As the #1 SkinCeuticals flagship nationally, Viva's clinical team brings deep product expertise to the post-treatment skincare recommendation. Clinical indications include rolling and boxcar acne scarring, enlarged visible pores, fine lines and superficial rhytids, rough or uneven skin texture, photodamage, and mild skin laxity. The standard three-session protocol spaced four weeks apart gives each session time to complete the inflammation and early proliferative phases before the next cycle begins. Downtime is limited to approximately 24 hours of redness and mild sensitivity, with most clients comfortable returning to work the following day. SkinPen is safe across all Fitzpatrick skin types, including darker complexions that require extra caution with energy-based alternatives.
