At Phoenix MedSpa in Lutz, Florida, we’re dedicated to helping our clients achieve radiant, youthful skin through advanced and innovative treatments.
One of our signature offerings is microneedling, a skin-rejuvenating procedure that harnesses the body’s natural ability to heal and regenerate. The treatment can meet the needs of clients looking for a non-invasive option to reduce wrinkles, promote scar reduction and general skin rejuvenation, and help encourage glowing and smooth skin.
Under the expert guidance of Dr. Julie Morales, a double board-certified physician, we focus on providing inclusive skincare solutions for all skin types addressing conditions like hyperpigmentation and melasma.
Dr. Morales understands that many patients with darker skin tones have been told certain treatments are safe for them, only to experience disappointment. At Phoenix MedSpa, we specialize in providing safe, effective skincare treatments specifically tailored to your skin type and concerns.
Microneedling is a natural skin care treatment known as collagen induction therapy. It relies on natural physiological processes to stimulate collagen and elastin production to address the most common aging-related and cosmetic concerns and conditions. It’s a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment option for clients looking for scar reduction, anti-aging benefits, and smooth skin and who want to see improvement in skin tone and texture and general skin rejuvenation.
During the treatment, we use an automated needling device to create tiny microchannels on the surface of the skin. This process increases product absorption to enhance the treatment results while also stimulating cellular regeneration, repair, and renewal. There’s no social downtime, and clients can expect gradual improvements in their skin in the weeks that follow their treatment.
At Phoenix MedSpa, we use the advanced MDerma by Dermapen device for microneedling. This automated device has single-use, sterile disposable tip cartridges of 12 microneedles that extend vertically into the deeper layers of the skin to create microchannels that force the body to repair and regenerate the area. The result is younger, rejuvenated, and refreshed skin.
Clients who begin a customized microneedling treatment plan can expect healthier, glowing skin, an overall improvement in the signs of aging, improved general skin health, and a more youthful appearance. Other treatment benefits of a customized microneedling treatment plan include the following:
You can resume your normal activities right after treatment, with only mild redness or irritation.
Absorption Post-Treatment
The microchannels created during the treatment improve the absorption of skincare products. This enhances their effectiveness.
As collagen production increases over time, you’ll continue to see improvements in your skin for weeks following the procedure.
For those looking to avoid invasive treatments, microneedling offers a comfortable, efficient, and effective alternative.
Our attentive team ensures your treatment is as convenient and comfortable as possible.
Microneedling counteracts the gradual process of collagen and elastin loss that occurs as we age.
This treatment speeds up the body’s natural processes of skin renewal, leading to more youthful and radiant skin.
To enhance the results of your microneedling treatment, we offer the option to add PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to your session. PRP stands for platelet-rich plasma and is derived from your own blood before beginning the treatment process. The plasma is carefully spun in a centrifuge, which separates the proteins, platelets, and growth factors from the rest of the blood.
During a PRP-enhanced microneedling treatment, this concentrated PRP is applied to your skin topically. The needling process forces the isolated growth factors deep into the microchannels to promote skin health and increase natural collagen and elastin production. PRP also accelerates the healing process, resulting in faster and more noticeable improvements in your skin.
If you want to add PRP to your skin tightening treatment plan, we can give you more details at your initial consultation.
Your microneedling treatment at Phoenix MedSpa begins with the application of a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort throughout the session. Once your skin is numb, your aesthetician will use the MDerma by Dermapen device to gently create microchannels across your skin’s surface, focusing on areas that need attention, such as wrinkles, scars, or areas of pigmentation.
As the device creates thousands of microchannels across the surface of your skin, the body will begin responding to the treatment by increasing collagen and elastin production and working to repair damaged skin cells, replacing them with younger and healthier ones.
When the treatment is over, you can resume all your normal daily activities. You may experience mild redness or swelling immediately after the treatment, but this usually subsides within a few hours.
Most clients notice some initial results right away, with continued improvements appearing over the next several weeks as collagen production increases.
If you’re looking for a non-surgical solution for wrinkles, or you want smooth skin and the anti-aging and skin rejuvenation benefits of a treatment that won’t require you to endure discomfort or plan around downtime, you may be the perfect candidate for a customized needling treatment plan.
Microneedling is suitable for clients of all skin types and tones, including those with skin of color. It’s particularly beneficial for those looking to:
Dr. Morales and her team at Phoenix MedSpa specialize in providing customized microneedling treatments for clients of all skin types.

We can give you more details about collagen induction therapy as well as our RF microneedling capabilities coming soon, and we can answer all your questions at your initial consultation so that you can learn more about the process and schedule your first treatment to experience all of its benefits.
Your skin’s response happens in stages after microneedling. The initial post-treatment glow is just the beginning. Within the first few weeks, you’ll start seeing your skin become smoother and more radiant.
Four to six weeks after your treatment is when your body’s collagen production kicks into high gear. This is when you’ll notice more significant improvements in your skin’s texture and tone. Some concerns, like deep acne scars or stubborn wrinkles, might take several sessions before showing dramatic improvement.
Your preparation should be simple but smart. A week before your treatment, skip the retinoids and exfoliating products, and hold off on waxing or using depilatory creams in the treatment area.
The day of your appointment, come with clean skin — no makeup, lotions, or sunscreen. If you’re prone to cold sores and we’re treating around your mouth area, let us know beforehand so we can prescribe preventive medication.
Patients typically see their best results after three to four treatments. If you’re dealing with mild texture issues or just want to maintain healthy skin, three sessions might be perfect. Tackling more stubborn concerns like acne scars or deep wrinkles? You might want to plan for four to six sessions. We’ll assess your skin’s response after each treatment and adjust your plan accordingly.
Most people get the best results spacing their treatments four to six weeks apart. This gives your skin enough time to complete its natural healing cycle and build new collagen. Going too frequently won’t speed up your results — in fact, it might actually slow them down. We’ll help you time your treatments just right, taking into account your skin’s healing response and your specific goals.
Microneedling pairs well with other treatments when timed correctly. It works particularly well with PRP, but can also be matched with many of our other services. Just keep in mind that timing is everything. We’ll help you space out treatments like chemical peels or injectables so they don’t interfere with each other. For example, if you’re getting Botox or fillers, we usually recommend waiting at least two weeks before your microneedling session.
Healthy, vibrant, and radiant skin is within your reach, and it doesn’t require that you commit to an invasive procedure to achieve it. With a microneedling treatment plan, we can target all of those stubborn skin imperfections, reverse visible aging, and help you achieve glowing, smooth skin.
