Microneedling with Serum Infusion
Microneedling creates tiny, controlled punctures in the skin that trigger your body’s natural collagen and elastin production. This micro-injury healing response results in improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, acne and acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation.
In addition to micro-injury based regeneration, microneedling creates microchannels that allow serums to absorb into deeper layers of the skin that wouldn’t normally get benefit. Most clinics use serums that contain only hyaluronic acid; at Park, we use specialty serums that combine ingredients that are specially selected to target specific skin concerns. Your provider will select the best serum for you at each treatment based on your skin care goals.
How To Get Started
The best way to get started is by booking your first treatment, which begins with a consultation to assess your skin goals. Not sure if this is the right fit? You can also book an all-services consultation to create a personalized treatment plan with our team.
How Serum Infusion Microneedling works for you
Ideal for
active acne, improving texture, fine lines, mild scarring, rosacea, and evening out skin tone.
Doesn’t treat
scarring, or skin laxity.
Scarring
Microneedling breaks down disorganized scar tissue and stimulates the growth of new, healthier collagen, improving the appearance, size, and texture of scars over time.
Overall skin rejuvenation
Microneedling kickstarts the skin’s natural healing processes, leading to fresher, healthier-looking skin with improved radiance, smoothness, and resilience.
Tone and texture
Micro-injuries combined with targeted serums boost collagen and cell turnover, helping to refine pores, improve elasticity, and create a more even, vibrant skin tone.
Acne
Microneedling helps improve blood flow and delivers specialized serums that target sebum production, reduce inflammation, and enhance the body’s natural antimicrobial function to address acne.
What to expect
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Following a microneedling treatment, it's common to experience redness, similar to a sunburn, and some skin tightness. These symptoms typically subside within a couple of days.
-
Some notice improvements as soon as a week after the first treatment, but significant results usually become visible after a few sessions.
-
Most patients describe microneedling as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. We apply a medical-grade numbing cream beforehand to minimize any discomfort, and most people report feeling only a light prickling or scratching sensation during the treatment. Areas with thinner skin (like the forehead) may be more sensitive, but the procedure is generally very well tolerated.
-
You should avoid makeup for at least 24 hours after the procedure to prevent skin irritation.
-
While both treatments use microneedles, there are some differences.
Morpheus8 delivers radiofrequency energy deep into the dermis through its microneedles, heating the underlying layers of the skin. While it can address the same concerns as standard microneedling, its combination with RF makes it particularly effective for skin tightening.

Serums include hyaluronic acid, copper peptides, retinaldehyde, and other antioxidants and nutrients essential for cell function, collagen synthesis, and skin brightening. Your provider will select the most appropriate serum, with the most effective ingredients, based on your goals.
-
Your skin responds best when your body is well supported. Staying hydrated, eating a nutrient-dense diet, and getting adequate sleep all contribute to improved skin healing, collagen production, and treatment response.
If you’re looking to amplify your results, consider:
An IV Infusion or NAD+ Wellness Injection on the day of your treatment to support hydration, circulation, and the delivery of key nutrients involved in skin repair and regeneration.
Pre-conditioning your skin with targeted exfoliation for 2–6 weeks prior to treatment. This helps optimize cellular turnover, refine the skin’s surface, and enhance treatment penetration and efficacy. We suggest combining a chemical exfoliant, like the ZO Complexion Renewal Pads, with a gentle physical exfoliant, like the ZO Exfoliating Polish.
Pairing your treatment with medical-grade skincare, specifically selected to support skin laxity and collagen production. For any microneedling treatment we recommend Skinceuticals PTIOX, which is formulated with peptides, argireline, and niacinamide to boost your skin’s glow and smoothness, giving a glass-skin effect when paired with microneedling. The Skinbetter Science Alto is an excellent moisturizer and antioxidant combo for clients wanting to protect their skin;’s protein function and collagen production with ingredients like co-enzyme Q10 (CoQ10), 19 plant-derived antioxidants including skinbetter science’s patented WEL and TAP technologies, vitamin C, vitamin E, and polyphenols.
Your provider will guide you toward the most appropriate combination based on your skin, goals, and treatment plan.
Featured FAQ
Can I get microneedling done in the summer?
Yes, microneedling can be done in the summer with the right post-care and sun protection. Your skin will be more sensitive than normal in the days after treatment, so it means you’ll need to be smart and intentional: avoid direct sun for about 5-7 days, wear broad-spectrum SPF30+ and skip beach days and long outdoor exposure right after your appointment.
Not confident can avoid the sun in the summer? That’s ok; plan to do your treatments in the cooler months. We’ll be here when you’re ready.
