Our Microneedling Service

Looking for professional microneedling in Tampa to treat acne scars, fine lines, or dull skin? At Livia Med Spa in Carrollwood, we specialize in advanced microneedling treatments that naturally stimulate collagen production, improve skin tone, and reduce imperfectionsโ€”without surgery or extended downtime.

Whether you’re targeting acne scars or simply want brighter, smoother skin, microneedling is one of the most effective non-invasive treatments available in Tampa today.

What Is Microneedling and How Does It Work?

Microneedling, also referred to as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment that works by stimulating your skinโ€™s natural repair mechanisms. During the procedure, a specialized device equipped with fine, sterile needles creates controlled micro-injuries on the surface of your skin. These tiny punctures initiate a healing cascade that stimulates collagen and elastin productionโ€”the essential proteins responsible for keeping your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

As your body produces new collagen over time, youโ€™ll notice a gradual improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall elasticity. Fine lines soften, acne scars fade, and dull or uneven skin becomes more radiant and refreshed.

At Livia Med Spa in Tampa, we perform microneedling using medical-grade, professional devices designed for both safety and results. Treatments are customized for your skin type and concernโ€”whether thatโ€™s acne scarring, large pores, sun damage, or early signs of aging. The procedure is well-tolerated with minimal discomfort and requires little to no downtime, making it a popular choice for clients seeking nonsurgical skin rejuvenation with real, visible outcomes.

WHat Does Microneedling Treat?

Microneedling is one of the most effective treatments we offer at our Tampa med spa because of its wide range of applications. Clients choose microneedling to treat:

  • Acne scars

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation

  • Stretch marks

  • Enlarged pores

  • Uneven texture

  • Dull or tired-looking skin

Itโ€™s suitable for almost all skin types and tones, making it a go-to option for both corrective and preventative skin care.

Before & After

Microneedling Before And After

At Livia Med Spa in Tampa, clients often see noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, and firmness just weeks after their first microneedling session. Because the treatment stimulates your bodyโ€™s natural collagen production, results appear gradually and look natural.

You may notice:

  • Smoother texture

  • Reduced acne scars and pores

  • Softer fine lines

  • Brighter, more even skin tone

For best results, we recommend a series of 3โ€“6 treatments, with visible changes developing over time. Scroll down to view real before and after microneedling results from our Tampa clients.

Microneedling Recovery Time and Aftercare

Recovery from microneedling is generally quick, low-maintenance, and well-tolerated, making it an ideal treatment even for clients with busy schedules or active lifestyles. Most people experience only mild, temporary side effects as the skin begins its natural repair process.

Immediately after your session, itโ€™s normal to notice:

  • Redness, similar to a moderate sunburn, which typically lasts between 24 and 48 hours

  • Mild swelling or tightness, especially in areas like the cheeks or forehead, often resolving within the first day

  • Light peeling, flaking, or dryness as the outer layer of skin naturally exfoliates and new skin cells rise to the surface

These are all positive signs that your body is actively producing collagen and elastin, and working to rejuvenate the skin from within. For most clients, the visible signs of recovery are subtle and short-livedโ€”allowing you to return to work, errands, or social activities within 1 to 2 days.

At Livia Med Spa, we provide every client with personalized aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results. This includes recommendations for gentle skincare products, sun protection, and what to avoid in the days following treatment (like exfoliants, heavy makeup, or direct sun exposure).

While it may take a few days for your skin to fully settle, the process is simple and manageable. In fact, many of our microneedling clients in Tampa appreciate how easily the treatment fits into their lifestyle, especially compared to more invasive procedures.

With proper care and consistency, microneedling recovery becomes a routine part of a long-term strategy for healthier, smoother, and more radiant skin.

Microneedling for Acne Scars

Microneedling is especially popular for treating acne scars, which often donโ€™t respond well to creams, peels, or surface-level treatments. By creating micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling triggers your bodyโ€™s natural healing response and stimulates collagen production beneath the scar tissue, helping to smooth and fill in pitted or textured scars over time. At Livia Med Spa in Tampa, microneedling is a go-to solution for acne scarring on the cheeks, forehead, and jawline. Itโ€™s particularly effective for boxcar, rolling, and icepick scarsโ€”all types that are tough to treat without more invasive procedures. Microneedling offers a non-laser, non-surgical alternative with minimal downtime. While results develop gradually, most clients see visible improvement after a series of 3โ€“6 treatments. For deeper scars, we may recommend adding PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to enhance collagen regeneration. If youโ€™re in Tampa and looking for an effective, natural way to reduce acne scars, microneedling is one of the most trusted options available today.

How Much Does Microneedling Cost?

At Livia Med Spa, microneedling treatments range from $200 to $500, depending on how many sessions you purchase and the size of the area being treated. Some clients only need one or two sessions, while others may benefit from a full series for deeper skin concerns.

During your consultation, weโ€™ll create a custom treatment plan that fits both your skin goals and your budget.

Angie is great. Communicates everything throughout the entire process! I did Botox on my forehead, crows feet and smile lines! This was my first time and I was nervous Iโ€™d look frozen. This is the best decision I have ever made regarding my appearance. I look and feel 15 years younger. I will continue to go back to her!

I was referred to Angie by my doctors office. I have been thinking about weight loss management for quite some time but I have extreme health anxiety. Health anxiety makes me worry about side effects and what the injections could make me feel and so on. I decided to give Angie a call. To my surprise, she answered the phone. She spent 45 minutes talking with me initially. Subsequently, I went into the office to meet her and had another long appointment. She answered all of my questions and made me feel so comfortable. I cannot begin to tell you the extreme amount of patience that she had with me. She never once made me feel bad for being so worried and having so much anxiety. I have been on the shots less than a week and have lost 5 pounds. I know 5 pounds is not a lot, but I cannot begin to describe how good I feel. I literally owe all of this to Angie and would highly recommend her spa for any of your needs. I can honestly say I probably would have never done this had it not been for the knowledge and patience that Angie had with me. I am so grateful.

I had been looking for a skilled injector since moving to Land O Lakes 2 years ago and was thrilled when I found Angie. After so many bad experiences, she was a breath of fresh air. She did a great job, results were very natural, didnโ€™t over sell me and her price is fair.

Very kind and professional! Did an excellent job and was very honest on what I needed and what wasnโ€™t necessary instead of just going along with anything like any other business wouldโ€™ve done.
