Microneedling is a regenerative skin treatment that works by stimulating your body’s natural healing response to build new collagen and elastin. Rooted in the principles of naturopathic medicine, microneedling supports skin health from the inside out—improving texture, tone, and resilience over time. In this post, Dr. Heather Friedman explains how microneedling works, what results to expect, and why this treatment aligns so naturally with a holistic, evidence-based approach to aesthetic care.

Exosomes can be harvested from stem cells and used therapeutically to regenerate and rejuvenate the skin. Exosomes can be used with microneedling to enter the skin where they help revascularize, promote collagen and elastin, and help with inflammation.

As we move into Fall, the recommended skincare treatments change. To address the sun damage that occurs in the summer months, a combination of Skinpen microneedling with ‘no downtime’ glycolic acid peels is recommended to rejuvenation the skin and address hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and texture.

Fall is around the corner and the season for resurfacing treatments like peels and microneedling are here!  I am proud to have invested in the Skinpen, the world’s first FDA-cleared microneedling device. Integrating microneedling treatments into your self-care regimen will rejuvenate your skin, address uneven skin tone, and facial acne scarring .
