SkinPen® Microneedling at Milford Med Spa & Wellness

At Milford Med Spa & Wellness, we believe your skin is capable of profound transformation when given the right tools. SkinPen® Microneedling is one of the most advanced and effective ways to stimulate your body’s natural healing response, creating smoother texture, softened lines, and a luminous glow from within.

✨ Think of it as the alchemy of renewal, your own collagen, reborn.

✧ What is SkinPen® Microneedling?

SkinPen® creates thousands of precise microchannels in the skin, activating your body’s natural wound-healing process. As your skin repairs, it produces fresh collagen and elastin, the building blocks of firmness, smoothness, and radiance.

Best for:

  • Acne scars

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Uneven texture

  • Large pores

  • Dull or tired skin

✧ Add-On Alchemy ✧

Take your microneedling to the next level with targeted enhancements designed to accelerate healing and maximize results.

Topical Botox

When applied topically during microneedling, Botox penetrates through the microchannels for advanced skin refinement.

✨ Benefits:

  • Accelerates acne scar healing by calming inflammation and supporting collagen repair
  • Shrinks enlarged pores by reducing sebaceous gland activity

  • Balances oil production, improving texture and clarity

  • Leaves skin smoother, clearer, and more even-toned

✨ Scientific Evidence:

Emerging clinical evidence suggests that topical botulinum toxin type A applied after microneedling may enhance improvement in the appearance of atrophic acne scars compared with microneedling alone.

A second supportive study found microneedling plus topical botulinum toxin A produced acne-scar improvement comparable to microneedling plus PRP: Albalat et al., 2023

Botulinum toxin may support more favorable scar formation. Research has found that botulinum toxin type A injected around freshly closed facial wounds can temporarily reduce the muscular tension pulling across the incision during healing. In a prospective, blinded, placebo-controlled study, treated wounds developed significantly less noticeable scars than wounds receiving saline. A later meta-analysis of 11 randomized trials also found improved scar quality, thinner scars and greater patient satisfaction with botulinum toxin treatment. This scar-modulating application is off-label, and research is continuing.

PDRN is composed of purified DNA fragments studied for their ability to support skin repair and the collagen- and elastin-rich extracellular matrix. 

✨ Benefits:

  • Soothes redness and discomfort during the healing process

  • Accelerates cellular repair for smoother, firmer-looking skin

  • Restores hydration and radiance

  • May soften the visible appearance of fine lines

✨ Scientific Evidence:

Emerging clinical research suggests that topical salmon-derived PDRN may improve the appearance of fine lines while supporting dermal thickness, density, firmness and elasticity.

In a 2026 randomized, double-blind, split-face clinical study of 31 women, topical salmon-derived PDRN was applied twice daily for 28 days. Researchers observed improvements in periocular wrinkles, dermal thickness and density, firmness and elasticity, with no reported adverse reactions. Laboratory testing in the same study also demonstrated increased expression of multiple collagen and elastic-fiber-associated proteins in photodamaged skin. Read the peer-reviewed clinical study.

This is the next frontier in regenerative aesthetics, designed to comfort your skin while amplifying its glow.

✨ Formulated with:

  • 11 Vitamins
  • 23 Amino Acids
  • 6 Minerals
  • PDRN 5 mg/mL
  • Hyaluronic Acid 5 mg/mL

VAMP Advanced is currently being evaluated in registered clinical studies for topical use following microneedling, including its effects on hydration, elasticity, texture and pore appearance. Product-specific research is ongoing, while broader research on topical PDRN provides additional support for its skin-rejuvenating potential.

Smooth PDO threads are tiny, absorbable sutures placed just beneath the skin to create a localized collagen-remodeling response. 

✨ Benefits:

  • Improve the appearance of selected atrophic acne, surgical or traumatic scars

  • Improve crepey texture and skin quality

  • Support firmer, smoother-looking skin

  • Soften fine lines and etched-in wrinkles

✨ Scientific Evidence:

In a prospective study, monofilament PDO threads significantly improved periorbital wrinkle scores and skin texture after 16 weeks. Another prospective study of 20 patients found significant improvement in the appearance and characteristics of atrophic facial scars. Wrinkle study | Atrophic-scar study

At Milford Med Spa, we use V Soft Lift® smooth PDO threads. They may be added to any SkinPen microneedling treatment and placed during the same appointment when clinically appropriate.

Evidence for smooth PDO threads in wrinkle and scar correction remains emerging and is based on relatively small studies. The cited studies evaluated PDO monothreads as a category, not V Soft Lift specifically. Individual results vary

Why Don’t We Offer PRP With Microneedling?

PRP microneedling, sometimes marketed as a “vampire facial,” requires a blood draw and additional processing to isolate platelet-rich plasma. While PRP can be effective, it is no longer the only evidence-informed option for enhancing microneedling.

In a comparative split-face study of patients with atrophic acne scars, microneedling with topical botulinum toxin A produced results comparable to microneedling with PRP. We offer modern, blood-free enhancements, including topical botulinum toxin A and VAMP PDRN, without venipuncture or processing your blood.

Our approach provides a more streamlined experience while allowing us to select an enhancement based on your individual skin concerns and goals.

The cited study evaluated atrophic acne scars. Botulinum toxin A used with microneedling is an off-label treatment. Individual results vary.

Your Comfort During Treatment

Your comfort is part of every treatment plan. Before SkinPen microneedling, we apply topical numbing cream and allow time for it to take effect, helping minimize discomfort throughout the procedure. Sensitivity can vary depending on the treatment area and microneedling depth.

When smooth PDO threads are added, topical numbing may be sufficient for some placements. For certain areas—or based on your personal preference—your treatment nurse may also use injected lidocaine for additional comfort. We’ll discuss the options with you before treatment and tailor the approach to your needs.

With any face or neck SkinPen microneedling treatment, the backs of your hands may be included upon request at no extra cost. Optional, thoughtful, and part of the Milford Med Spa experience. May not be exchanged for another treatment area.
