IS MICRONEEDLING FOR YOU?
If you want to correct or remove fine lines, nourish your skin from the dry Denver weather, reducing pore size and lighten the appearance of acne scars this is likely to be an effective treatment for you. Microneedling is also highly recommended for young professionals looking to maintain youthful skin and prevent early signs of aging.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a well-established treatment and has been conducted for over 40 years, clinically proven and tested. This is a treatment where sterile micro-needles are applied to the face to create “micro-injuries” to the skin. This stimulates the production of collagen and elastin. As the needles are applied to the face they are also delivering products to help nourish and heal the skin. We believe that this treatment triggers collagen production like no other treatment can!
Not all Microneedling treatments are the same
There are two different types of microneedling, traditional or rotary pen microneedling (sometimes known as Dermapen or Rejuvapen), or stamping microneedling (Procell). The traditional microneedling version uses sterile medical-grade microneedles on a spring or a roller to puncture hundreds of injuries into the skin. The problem with this is that the spring is not often strong enough to push against the resistance of the skin and can give inconsistient depth control. With the rollers, they can cause microscopic tears in the skin, leading to higher risk of damage and longer healing times.
Procell microneedling, sometimes called microchanneling, is what we use at Denver Laser Solutions. The sterile medical-grade micronized needles are at a fixed depth and are applied in a stamping motion, meaning more consistent results and less trauma to the skin. Our patients report less downtime and quicker recovery, and can return to their normal routines faster than traditional microneedling.
what is procell microneedling like?
Traditional microneedling is a small hand held device that looks like a large pen or gun. A disposable medical-grade microneedle tip is inserted on the end.
When turned on, the device vibrates the microneedle tip repeatedly puncturing the skin. During this process stem cell serum is applied and driven into the living skin through the hundreds of micro-injuries created.
Benefits: In response to needling, a natural inflammatory healing process begins. Stem cells enhance this process by regenerating the fibroblast cells that produce connective tissue and collagen that keeps your skin from sagging and aging.
what is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is an exfolating treatment we perform right before microneedling to get the best clinical outcomes. We use a diamond-tipped wand across the area to exfoliate while a vacuum removes the dead skin. We like to perform microdermabrasion before microneedling for a few reasons:
- It keeps the needles sharp, making the treatment more comfortable
- The vacuum stimulates blood flow, making microneedling more effective
- It makes the growth factor serum we use during treatment penetrate more effectively
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MICRONEEDLING & FRACTIONAL LASER TREATMENT

How Often Should I Get Microneedling?
- It depends on what you are trying to achieve- if this is for correction of a skincare concern such as acne scars or fine lines, a series of 3 to 6 spaced every 6 weeks is best.

I go to Denver Laser Solutions for Botox and laser hair removal and all the girls are amazing. I usually see Mara, she is so thorough and welcoming and makes me feel so comfortable. The last time I went, she did my Botox and it’s literally the BEST job I’ve ever had. I’m very picky with my face, and this is the only place I trust for my injectables. I recommend to all my friends and family.
