Microneedling
Over time, sun exposure, natural aging, and past breakouts can take a toll on your skin tissue. You might notice enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, stubborn acne scars, or fine lines and wrinkles settling around your eyes and mouth. While many cosmetic treatments work only on the top layer of skin, professional microneedling goes deeper to spark your body's natural collagen induction from within.
At Invisible Lines Aesthetics & Wellness in Florence, KY, our microneedling procedure rejuvenates aging skin with minimal downtime. For patients looking to elevate their results, we pair standard microneedling with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) and offer targeted under-eye PRF treatments. Guided by experienced nurse providers, your treatment plan is completely personalized to ensure you achieve a fresh, youthful appearance in a warm, supportive environment.
Smooths acne scars, refines large pores, improves skin elasticity, and softens fine lines using collagen induction therapy.
45 to 60 minutes per treatment session, including topical numbing cream preparation.
Minimal; light redness similar to a mild sunburn usually calms within 24 to 48 hours.
Microneedling results develop as new tissue forms over a few weeks, with optimal results appearing after a series of treatments.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a specialized microneedling device equipped with medical-grade thin needles to create thousands of controlled tiny holes in the skin. These micro-injuries penetrate past the top layer to stimulate your skin's healing process without causing real damage. As the skin heals, your tissue creates fresh collagen fibers and elastin, laying down new skin tissue that is firmer, smoother, and more resilient.
Unlike older home rollers or DIY tools, professional microneedling uses longer needles and precise depth controls to treat acne scars, surgical scars, stretch marks, and skin pigmentation safely across all complexions, including darker skin tones. For enhanced rejuvenation, pairing microneedling with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) uses your own natural growth factors to accelerate healing and boost overall collagen production. We also offer dedicated Under Eye PRF injections to address hollows, dark circles, and delicate fine lines.
Your visit begins with an unhurried consultation to evaluate your skin concern, discuss your medical history, and set clear expectations. We apply a strong topical anesthetic numbing cream to the treated area for 20 to 30 minutes to make sure you stay completely relaxed.
Once your skin is numb, your provider glides the handheld microneedling device evenly across your face. If you choose to include PRF, we draw a small sample of your blood prior to treatment, spin it down in a centrifuge to isolate natural growth factors, and apply the golden fibrin matrix topically during microneedling or inject it directly under the eyes. You will feel light pressure and a mild vibrating sensation, but discomfort is very low. Afterwards, we apply a soothing serum and review your post-treatment care instructions.
While microneedling is most commonly performed on the full face, it is also highly effective for treating the neck, chest (décolletage), back, hands, and areas with stretch marks or surgical scars.
Breaks down rigid scar tissue to smooth out pitted acne scars, surgical scars, and uneven texture.
Rebuilds underlying skin elasticity to soften fine lines and crepey tissue around the face and neck.
Tightens pore structure and refines skin tissue for a softer, airbrushed feel.
Under Eye PRF targets thin skin, dark circles, and volume loss using pure natural growth factors.
Microneedling is a minimally-invasive cosmetic procedure. It involves pricking the skin with tiny sterilized needles that encourage the production of collagen and elastin.
Microneedling offers a safe, natural approach to skin renewal that works in harmony with your body.
Microneedling Benefits:
A good candidate for microneedling is anyone looking to treat acne scars, improve skin elasticity, or smooth out fine lines without invasive plastic surgery or prolonged downtime. It is safe for almost all skin types. However, patients with active acne, open wounds, active skin infections, a history of keloid scarring, a weakened immune system, or those taking certain medications should avoid microneedling or wait until their skin clears. We review your medical history thoroughly during your consultation in Florence to make sure this cosmetic procedure is completely safe for you.
Recovery from a microneedling treatment is gentle and short. Right after your session, the treated area will look flushed and feel warm, similar to a mild sun exposure. This redness usually fades within 24 to 48 hours. Your skin may feel dry or slightly tight for a few days as new tissue forms.
During recovery, keep your skin hydrated with gentle, approved skincare products and avoid harsh active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, or glycolic acid for 3 to 5 days. You should also protect your skin from direct sunlight and avoid heavy workouts or saunas for 24 to 48 hours to let your skin heal smoothly.
You will begin to notice an improved, hydrated skin texture within 1 to 2 weeks as initial healing completes. Because collagen induction takes time, your most significant microneedling results appear over 4 to 6 weeks as new tissue and collagen fibers rebuild beneath the surface.
While a single session yields visible improvements, achieving desired results for deeper skin scars or prominent fine lines usually requires more than one treatment. Most patients undergo a treatment plan of 3 to 6 microneedling sessions spaced 4 weeks apart. Maintenance visits once or twice a year keep your skin firm, smooth, and radiant long-term.
At Invisible Lines, your microneedling procedure is placed in experienced hands. Co-owners Amy Alsip, APRN, and Caela Forbis, BSN, RN, bring advanced medical knowledge, strict hygiene standards, and a deeply compassionate approach to every cosmetic treatment. We take the time to evaluate your unique skin concern, explain how PRF elevates your outcome, and deliver personalized care in a relaxed, unhurried environment.

Discomfort is minimal. We apply a strong prescription-strength numbing cream prior to your treatment session, ensuring you feel only mild pressure as the microneedling device moves across your skin.
PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) is spun at a lower speed than traditional PRP (platelet rich plasma). This preserves more white blood cells, stem cells, and platelets within a natural fibrin matrix, releasing growth factors over a longer period for enhanced collagen production.
While you will notice smoother skin after your first treatment, optimal results for acne scars or deep wrinkles usually require a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart.
Under Eye PRF uses your body's own natural growth factors injected into the delicate skin under your eyes. It thickens thin skin, stimulates collagen growth, and gradually improves hollows and dark shadows naturally.
No. You should avoid microneedling over areas with active acne breakouts or open wounds, as the tiny needles can spread bacteria across the face. We can treat surrounding clear areas or help you calm active acne before starting your series.
We recommend holding off on applying makeup for at least 24 hours after your session to give the micro-channels time to close and prevent skin irritation.
