Book your consultation today and discover how microneedling can redefine your complexion.
What is Microneedling with Rejuvapen NXT?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, improves skin quality and rejuvenates aging or damaged skin. The Rejuvapen NXT uses ultra-fine, medical-grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface.
This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production, which are essential for maintaining youthful skin. Additionally, the microchannels created during the treatment enhance the absorption of medical-grade skincare products, allowing them to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
Am I a Good Candidate for Microneedling with Rejuvapen NXT?
Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and can be a powerful solution for those looking to address the following:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars and other textural irregularities
- Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
- Enlarged pores
- Overall skin laxity
You may be an ideal candidate if you:
- Want firmer, smoother skin with improved elasticity
- Are seeking a non-surgical, minimally invasive approach to skin rejuvenation
- Do not have active acne, infections, or severe skin conditions
- Are in overall good health with realistic expectations
During your consultation, we will assess your skin and determine if Rejuvapen NXT microneedling is the best option for your aesthetic goals.

What to Expect During Microneedling with Rejuvapen NXT
At Funcik Plastic Surgery, we ensure every microneedling session is comfortable, precise, and tailored to your needs.
The procedure involves:
- Cleansing & Numbing: Your skin is thoroughly cleansed, and a topical anesthetic is applied for comfort.
- Post-Treatment Serum: Specialized serums or growth factors may be applied to further enhance results.
- Microneedling Treatment: Using the Rejuvapen NXT device, our skilled provider gently creates controlled micro-injuries across the treatment area.
The treatment typically lasts 30-60 minutes, and patients report a mild tingling or warming sensation during the procedure.
Microneedling with Rejuvapen NXT Recovery and Results
Following your session, you can expect mild redness and sensitivity similar to a light sunburn, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Some patients may experience minor flaking as their skin renews itself.
DMicroneedling results are long-lasting as collagen regenerates, leading to progressively firmer, healthier skin over time. Here’s what you can expect:
- Immediately after: Skin will appear smoother and more radiant.
- First week: Redness diminishes, and new collagen begins forming.
- 3-4 weeks: Significant skin tone, texture, and elasticity improvement.
- Optimal results: Achieved after a series of treatments (typically 3-6 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart).

FAQ
How is Rejuvapen NXT different from other microneedling devices?
Rejuvapen NXT is an FDA-cleared, medical-grade microneedling device designed with advanced safety features and precision technology. Unlike lower-grade microneedling rollers or pens, Rejuvapen NXT delivers consistent depth penetration and controlled micro-injuries, maximizing collagen stimulation and minimizing discomfort.
Can microneedling help with stretch marks?
Yes! Microneedling with Rejuvapen NXT is highly effective for improving the appearance of stretch marks by stimulating collagen production in the affected area. Over a series of treatments, stretch marks become less noticeable, smoother, and closer to your natural skin tone.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! Microneedling pairs well with chemical peels, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma), and laser treatments to enhance skin rejuvenation. It can also complement injectables like Botox and fillers to create a more comprehensive facial refresh. We will customize a treatment plan to maximize your results.
Does microneedling work for darker skin tones?
Yes, microneedling with Rejuvapen NXT is safe and effective for all skin tones, including darker complexions. Unlike some laser treatments that can pose a risk of hyperpigmentation, microneedling works without disrupting pigmentation, making it a versatile option for all skin types.
How soon after microneedling can I wear makeup?
We recommend waiting 24 to 48 hours before applying makeup to allow your skin to heal properly. Once the skin has calmed, using mineral-based or breathable makeup is ideal to prevent irritation.
Will microneedling help reduce under-eye circles or hollowness?
Microneedling can improve skin texture and firmness under the eyes, reducing fine lines and crepey skin. However, dermal fillers may be a more suitable option for deep hollowness or significant volume loss. During your consultation, we can determine the best treatment for your concerns.
Is microneedling painful?
Most patients find the procedure very tolerable, thanks to the topical numbing cream applied before treatment. You may experience a slight tingling or warming sensation, but overall, discomfort is minimal.
How long should I avoid sun exposure after microneedling?
After treatment, your skin will be more sensitive to the sun, so it’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure for at least one week and wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen daily to protect your newly refreshed skin./p>
How many microneedling treatments will I need for acne scars?
The number of sessions needed depends on the severity of the scars. Most patients see significant improvement after 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. Deep acne scars may require additional treatments for optimal results.
Can I do microneedling if I have active acne?
Microneedling is not recommended for individuals with active acne breakouts, as it can spread bacteria and cause irritation. If you have active breakouts, we may recommend other treatments first, such as professional skincare or laser therapy, before starting microneedling.
