Microneedling in Gainesville, FL

Microneedling — also called collagen induction therapy — uses an array of fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. Your body responds by producing new collagen and elastin, improving texture, fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and overall skin quality. At our Gainesville physician-led clinic, we use medical-grade devices and protocols, not the rolling tools sold for home use, which can damage skin and don’t reach therapeutic depth.

Standard microneedling triggers collagen production via controlled micro-injury alone. Microneedling-with-PRP adds platelet-rich plasma drawn from your own blood, applied topically and worked into the micro-channels, dramatically amplifying the growth-factor signal. Patients seeking maximum results — especially for acne scarring, dull skin, or aging concerns — often choose the PRP-enhanced version. We have a dedicated microneedling-with-PRP page if you’d like to compare side-by-side. Dr. Indianos helps you decide which version fits your goals.

Medical microneedling is very safe when performed by trained professionals using sterile single-use cartridges, proper depth control, and appropriate aftercare. At Bespoke Aesthetics, treatment is performed under Dr. Carolyn Indianos’s medical oversight, with strict sterility protocols. We screen for active acne flares, certain skin conditions, blood-thinning medications, and recent isotretinoin use before treating. Most complications from microneedling come from improper depth, contaminated devices, or skipping the screening — not from the modality itself.

Microneedling pricing varies by treatment area, whether PRP or other serums are added, and the number of sessions in your plan — a single maintenance facial differs from a full scar-revision series. We don’t post fixed prices because the right protocol depends on your skin. A complimentary consultation determines what your skin actually needs, with clear pricing before any treatment is scheduled. Bundled session pricing is typically more cost-effective than single visits.

Most patients see meaningful improvement after a series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with results continuing to develop for 3–6 months as new collagen matures. Acne scarring or deeper texture issues may require 5–6 sessions. After your initial series, quarterly to twice-yearly maintenance keeps results compounding. Dr. Indianos sets a realistic expectation up front — microneedling rewards consistency, and we’d rather under-promise than oversell a one-and-done miracle.

Bespoke Aesthetics offers medical-grade microneedling at 5010 W Newberry Rd Suite C in Gainesville, between Pavlik Orthodontics and Verdex Construction. We’re a physician-led aesthetic clinic, which means depth, device quality, and screening are handled to a medical standard rather than a beauty-service standard. Patients from Gainesville, Alachua, Newberry, and surrounding areas come to us specifically for that distinction.

Expect 24–48 hours of redness and a tight, slightly sunburned feel. Mild flaking around days 2–4 is normal as the skin turns over. Avoid sun, makeup for 24 hours, retinoids, exfoliating acids, and intense workouts for 48 hours. Hydrate aggressively and use the gentle aftercare products we provide. Most patients return to work the next day with mild residual redness easily covered by mineral makeup. Final results emerge over weeks, not days.

Yes — and both are well-supported indications. For acne scarring (rolling, boxcar, mild ice-pick types), a series of 4–6 sessions, often combined with PRP, produces meaningful texture improvement for most patients. Stretch marks respond well when treated relatively early, with 4–6 sessions and realistic expectations about percentage improvement rather than complete erasure. Dr. Indianos sets honest expectations during consultation — for severe scarring, we may recommend layered protocols with biostimulators or other modalities.
