What Is Microneedling?

(After series of 3 treatments)

Microneedling is a popular skin rejuvenation treatment that helps improve texture, tone, and overall skin health. Often called collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin.

These micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin—two proteins responsible for firm, smooth, youthful-looking skin.

At Douglas J Salon + MedSpa, we use one of the most advanced microneedling technologies available, VirtueRF microneedling, to deliver powerful skin rejuvenation results. Guests also have the option to enhance their treatment with Pure PDGF+, a regenerative growth factor that supports healing and boosts collagen production.

What Does Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can help improve many common skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
  • Mild skin laxity

Over time, increased collagen production helps skin look smoother, brighter, and more refreshed.

VirtueRF Microneedling: Advanced Skin Rejuvenation

Douglas J offers VirtueRF microneedling, an advanced treatment that combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy.

While the microneedles stimulate collagen, RF energy gently heats deeper layers of the skin to further improve skin tightening and rejuvenation.

Benefits of VirtueRF microneedling include:

  • Firmer, tighter skin
  • Reduced wrinkles and fine lines
  • Improved acne scars and texture
  • Smaller pores
  • Enhanced collagen production

This powerful combination allows VirtueRF to target deeper skin concerns while still offering minimal downtime.

Microneedling with Pure PDGF+

You may have heard of the Vampire Facial, a treatment that combines microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) taken from your own blood to support skin rejuvenation.

At Douglas J, we offer Pure PDGF+, a next-generation growth factor that provides similar regenerative benefits without relying on your body’s own platelet levels. PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) plays an important role in cell repair, collagen production, and tissue regeneration.

When applied during microneedling, Pure PDGF+ can help:

  • Support faster skin recovery
  • Improve skin tone and texture
  • Boost collagen production
  • Enhance overall treatment results

Because Pure PDGF+ is a highly purified growth factor, it delivers consistent regenerative support and can help maximize the results of treatments like VirtueRF microneedling.

What to Expect from Microneedling

Microneedling treatments at Douglas J are designed to be comfortable and effective. Your appointment will begin with a consultation and skin analysis so your provider can recommend the best approach for your skin goals. Most appointments take 30–60 minutes, depending on the area treated.

After treatment, you may experience mild redness similar to a sunburn for 24–48 hours. Many guests notice brighter skin within a few days, while collagen production continues to improve the skin over several weeks.

For best results, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart is often recommended.
