Microneedling is a widely studied and trusted treatment for skin rejuvenation. By creating thousands of precise, controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin, microneedling stimulates the body’s natural repair process. This triggers fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that support skin strength, firmness, and elasticity. Research has also shown that microneedling enhances epidermal turnover, which contributes to smoother texture, more even tone, and a healthier glow.
Because the treatment works by harnessing your body’s natural biology, microneedling is safe for most skin types. It is commonly recommended for acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, pigmentary concerns such as melasma, and early signs of skin aging. At Form Medical Aesthetics, we offer two clinically advanced microneedling technologies: SkinPen Microneedling and Morpheus8 with Radiofrequency (RF). Both are evidence-based solutions that can be tailored to your individual goals.
SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen is the first microneedling device cleared by both the FDA and Health Canada. Clinical studies have demonstrated its safety and efficacy in improving acne scars, melasma, enlarged pores, and visible signs of aging.
Results can be further optimized when SkinPen is combined with biologic adjuncts such as Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP), exosomes, or VAMP, which support accelerated healing and enhanced skin quality. Treatments are performed with a topical numbing cream to maximize comfort, and all treatment plans are customized based on individual skin goals.

Morpheus8 Microneedling with RF
Morpheus8 builds upon traditional microneedling by incorporating advanced RF energy. While the microneedles stimulate natural collagen production, the added RF energy delivers heat into deeper dermal layers. This combination further remodels tissue, tightens skin, and enhances overall rejuvenation.
Morpheus8 has been studied in dermatology literature for its ability to improve wrinkles, acne scarring, skin laxity, and overall tone. Because the depth and energy settings are adjustable, treatments are fully customizable for both facial and body areas. Like SkinPen, Morpheus8 can also be paired with PRP, exosomes or VAMP for synergistic results.

- Benefits: Boosts collagen and elastin, reduces wrinkles, tightens skin, improves scars, enhances texture and radiance
- Ideal for: All genders, most skin types
- Treatment time: Approximately 60 minutes
- Recommended schedule: 1 to 3 sessions depending on goals

Choosing the Right Microneedling Option
Both SkinPen and Morpheus8 deliver clinically proven results. The right choice depends on your priorities. SkinPen may be best for melasma, acne scars, or visible pore size, while Morpheus8 is often recommended for deeper stimulation, laxity, or scarring on the face and body.
