Collagen Induction Therapy at Renove Medical Spa
At Renove Medical Spa, Dr. Michelle Parsons offers advanced SkinPen® Microneedling, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the United States.
Microneedling—also known as Collagen Induction Therapy—is a minimally invasive treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural healing process to produce new collagen and elastin.
The result?
Smoother texture. Softer lines. Brighter, firmer skin.
What Does Facial Microneedling Treat?
Microneedling is ideal for improving:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Enlarged pores
-
Acne scarring
-
Uneven tone and texture
-
Hyperpigmentation
-
Sun damage
-
Crepey skin around the eyes and mouth
Because collagen naturally declines with age, microneedling helps restore youthful structure without surgery or prolonged downtime.
Why SkinPen® Matters
SkinPen by Bellus Medical is:
-
FDA-cleared for facial acne scars
-
The first legally marketed microneedling device in the U.S.
-
Adjustable in depth for precision treatment
-
Clinically proven safe and effective
When performed by Dr. Michelle Parsons at Renove Medical Spa, treatments can reach depths up to 3mm for optimal collagen stimulation — far beyond the limitations allowed in non-medical settings.

What Happens During Treatment?
-
A topical numbing cream is applied for comfort.
-
The SkinPen device creates controlled microchannels in the skin.
-
Growth factor serum is applied and driven deeper into the skin.
-
Treatment time: approximately 15–30 minutes.
Patients typically describe the sensation as vibration or light pressure.
Downtime & Recovery
After treatment, your skin may appear flushed — similar to a mild sunburn.
-
Redness typically resolves within 24 hours
-
Some patients may experience light sensitivity or mild swelling
-
Most return to normal activity the next day
Within days, your skin appears brighter and more radiant. Over the following weeks and months, collagen remodeling continues to improve texture and firmness.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
For optimal facial rejuvenation:
-
3 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typical
-
Deeper wrinkles or acne scars may require 6–8 sessions
-
Maintenance: once annually
Results are long-lasting because new collagen formation creates structural improvement in the skin.
Why Choose a Medical Practice?
The FDA classifies microneedling devices over 0.3mm as medical devices because they create lasting structural change in the skin.
At Renove Medical Spa, treatments are performed under medical supervision by Dr. Michelle Parsons, allowing for:
-
Greater treatment depth
-
Better collagen stimulation
-
Superior long-term results
-
Enhanced safety
Can Microneedling Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Yes. Microneedling can be enhanced by combining it with Radiofrequency technology for additional skin tightening and collagen stimulation.

Microneedling - Before And After

The pores on my nose became so small, almost nonexistent! And did a great job smoothing my skin and getting rid of acne scar. I highly recommend microneedling!
I came to Dr. Parsons in June of 2020 because of my turkey neck and sagging jawline. Today, January 11, 2021, my neck looks great and it's less than 6 months. My jawline is greatly improved and I know over the next months I'll see even greater improvement.

I love how my skin looks after microneedling. I suffered from acne scars and microneedling helped with it and got rid of all my acne scars.
