Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. Microneedling is commonly used to improve the appearance of various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and texture. It can also enhance the overall skin quality and create a smoother, more youthful complexion.
Why Patients Love Microneedling
- Smooths Texture & Reduces Scars – Improves acne scars, stretch marks, and fine lines
- Boosts Collagen – Firms skin and improves tone over time
- Pairs with PRF or EZ Gel – For natural growth factor-based healing
How Microneedling Works
Our medical-grade Collagen Induction Therapy utilizes a specialized, automated device equipped with ultra-fine, sterile needles. As these needles gently glide across your skin, they create thousands of microscopic channels. This process instantly triggers a natural healing cascade beneath the surface.
- The Signaling Phase: Your skin instantly recognizes these micro-channels and floods the area with natural growth factors to begin rapid repair.
- Renewal Phase: This response accelerates cell turnover, prompting your body to shed damaged cells and rush nutrients to the area.
- Structuring Phase: Fibroblasts synthesize a fresh, dense network of collagen and elastin fibers. Over the following weeks, this new framework plumps the skin from within, smoothing out deep lines, shrinking enlarged pores, and softening rough acne scars.
Your Patient Journey: From Consultation to Glowing Skin
Your Initial Skin Assessment
Your transformation begins with a comprehensive, professional skin analysis. Our team evaluates your unique skin type on the Fitzpatrick Scale, assesses any specific areas of concern such as sun damage or scarring and reviews your health history. Together, we will build a customized treatment plan tailored to your budget, lifestyle, and goals. Depending on your concerns, recommendations may also include Dermaplaning, or advanced Skin Tightening treatments.
Pre-Treatment Care
The intense seasonal weather shifts and strong summer UV rays along the Route 309 corridor can leave your skin sensitive and prone to temporary uneven pigmentation. To ensure your skin barrier is perfectly prepared, please follow these guidelines:
- Avoid direct, unprotected sun exposure or tanning for 14 days prior to your session
- Discontinue using topical retinoids, glycolic acids, and harsh exfoliants 5 days before your visit.
- If you have a history of cold sores, let us know during your booking. We will gladly provide a proactive prescription to ensure your skin stays entirely protected.
The Injection & Treatment Experience
When you arrive at our Lower Gwynedd medical spa, we will thoroughly cleanse your skin and apply a highly effective, medical-grade numbing cream. Once you are completely comfortable, Jodi, RN or Kim, RN will precisely guide our professional device across the target areas.
Most patients describe the sensation as a light, vibrating tickle or a minor prickling feeling. Because we prioritize absolute safety, our facility operates in strict compliance with the safety regulations set by the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine.
Post-Care & Recovery
- Day 1: Your skin will look flushed, very much like a mild sunburn. We will provide you with a sterile recovery serum to use at home. Keep your skin clean, and avoid makeup, standard cleansers, or generic sunscreens for the first 24 hours.
- Days 2–7: Your skin may experience very light flaking as old cells shed. We recommend incorporating specialized post-care like Alastin Skincare into your routine. Its innovative TriHex Technology® works hand-in-hand with your body's recovery process, clearing away old proteins and accelerating the production of fresh collagen and elastin.
- Going Forward: Avoid strenuous workouts, hot tubs, and saunas for 48 hours. Remember to protect your fresh, clear skin with a physical sunblock when commuting down Sumneytown Pike or running errands around town.
Supercharge Your Results: Advanced Regenerative Boosters
At Strella, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. While traditional microneedling delivers excellent results on its own, our registered nurses can dramatically enhance your healing and skin-smoothing outcomes by adding advanced topical treatments.
Because microneedling creates highly absorbent open channels in the skin, these advanced formulas sink deep into the tissue where they can do the most good:
- Exosome Therapy: These ultra-purified cellular messengers act as a high-speed communications network for your skin cells. They signal for immediate tissue repair, drastically reducing post-treatment redness and delivering a radiant glow much faster than traditional methods.
- Autologous PRF & EZ Gel: We draw a small sample of your own blood and spin it using a specialized, advanced protocol to isolate Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF). This natural gel releases a concentrated blend of your body's own growth factors over several days, speeding up healing and providing a major boost to skin volume.
- Polynucleotide Serums (Rejuran® Systems): These bio-compatible nucleotide chains act as natural building blocks for damaged skin cells. They deeply hydrate compromised skin tissue and restore elasticity, making them a fantastic choice for correcting fine lines around delicate areas like the eyes and mouth.
Safe, Clinically Proven Care for All Skin Types
Unlike some aggressive resurfacing procedures, microneedling is considered safe for a wide range of skin tones and types. Patients with acne scarring, pigmentation concerns, or early skin laxity often combine treatment with Aerolase laser therapy or customized Acne Treatment programs for more comprehensive correction.
Important Clinical Considerations: To ensure your absolute safety, microneedling cannot be performed if you have an active skin infection, open wounds, or unmanaged inflammatory conditions like severe psoriasis or eczema in the target treatment area. It is also contraindicated for patients who are currently pregnant, nursing, or have a history of keloid scarring.
Our clinic is fully aligned with the strict safety standards set by the Pennsylvania State Board of Medicine. Located at 1108 N. Bethlehem Pike, Lower Gwynedd Township, PA 19002, Strella Medical Aesthetics balances premium medical precision with a comfortable, professional clinical environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is microneedling painful?
We apply a numbing cream beforehand, so most patients find it very tolerable — more prickly than painful.
How many sessions do I need?
While many patients notice a brighter, smoother complexion within a week or two, collagen rebuilding takes time. For optimal improvement with acne scars or deep lines, we generally recommend a structured series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart.
Can I wear makeup after?
Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup or active skincare products.
Is it safe for darker skin tones?
Yes — microneedling is safe and effective for all skin types and tones.
How does a professional microneedling device compare to home rollers?
Home rollers and day-spa pens often use cheap, blunt wheels that enter the skin at an angle, which can tear delicate tissue and lead to micro-scarring. Our medical-grade, automated devices use surgical-grade needles that enter the skin perfectly vertically. This allows our registered nurses to make precise depth adjustments down to 2.5mm, safely reaching the deep dermal layer where true collagen production happens.
