A Glow From Within
Skin responds to daily stressors, such as sun exposure, inflammation, breakouts, and hormonal shifts, by becoming dull, uneven, or textured. Topical products can help, but when you need deeper renewal, microneedling offers a safe and science-backed solution.
At Lilivy Aesthetics & Wellness, we use SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, which works by creating thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process, known as collagen induction therapy, stimulates the body’s natural repair mechanisms to produce new collagen, smooth out skin texture, and improve the look of fine lines, age spots, acne scars, stretch marks, and more.
Because SkinPen doesn’t rely on heat or chemicals, this minimally invasive approach is gentle, effective, and safe for nearly all skin types, including darker skin tones. Whether you want to treat acne scars, minimize facial wrinkles, or simply rekindle your skin’s overall glow, microneedling treatments with SkinPen can help restore your skin's resilience from within.
Powered by P-E-A-R-L Fusion by AnteAGE® MD
At LILIVY in Fort Wayne microneedling is more than collagen stimulation — it’s regenerative skin therapy.
We enhance every treatment with the P-E-A-R-L Advanced Cell Signaling System by AnteAGE® MD, a physician-dispensed biotechnology designed to amplify results, accelerate recovery, and optimize your skin’s renewal process at the cellular level.
This is microneedling — refined.
P-E-A-R-L is a sophisticated regenerative complex that combines five powerful biologic components to enhance skin repair and rejuvenation:
Highly purified DNA fragments that support tissue repair, improve elasticity, and deeply hydrate while calming inflammation.
Advanced cellular messengers that enhance communication between skin cells, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and accelerate healing.
Potent protective molecules that neutralize oxidative stress, brighten tone, and defend against environmental damage.
Bio-identical signaling proteins that support collagen remodeling, firmness, and smoother texture.
Essential building blocks that strengthen the skin barrier and promote resilience and hydration.
Together, these ingredients work synergistically to guide your skin into a more youthful pattern of regeneration — improving tone, texture, firmness, and luminosity.
Microneedling creates precise microchannels in the skin to stimulate natural collagen production. When paired with P-E-A-R-L Fusion, those channels become targeted delivery pathways — allowing regenerative cell-signaling ingredients to reach deeper layers where transformation happens.
The result:
This pairing is ideal for patients seeking refined anti-aging, acne scar improvement, pigment correction, or overall skin quality enhancement.
As a physician-led practice, we prioritize treatments backed by clinical science and regenerative medicine principles. Our microneedling protocol is thoughtfully designed to deliver both immediate glow and long-term structural improvement — with minimal disruption to your lifestyle.
This is collagen induction — elevated.
This is regenerative aesthetics — refined.
Stronger Skin, Naturally
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These controlled punctures stimulate your body’s wound-healing response, causing your skin to produce collagen and elastin. As the skin renews itself from within, patients see visible improvements in their skin’s tone, firmness, and elasticity over time.
At Lilivy Aesthetics & Wellness, we perform microneedling treatments using SkinPen, a precision-engineered device approved by the FDA for use by aesthetic healthcare providers. Unlike at-home microneedling devices, SkinPen uses sterile, adjustable needle lengths to ensure consistency, safety, and comfort across the entire treated area.
SkinPen also works deeper in the skin, delivering improvements that over-the-counter microneedling devices can't.
Microneedling can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and even certain areas of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, to address stretch marks or surgical scars. Because the SkinPen treatment is mechanical rather than heat-based, it does not carry an increased risk of pigmentation changes when used on darker skin tones, which can be a concern with laser treatments. The results of microneedling develop over time, revealing a smoother, more toned, radiant complexion.
Your Goals and Comfort Come First
Your appointment begins with a comprehensive consultation to determine if microneedling is the right treatment for your skin conditions and long-term goals. We’ll review your medical history, discuss any active skin issues, and confirm that microneedling is a safe and effective option for you.
On the day of your appointment, we cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic cream to numb the surface area. This helps minimize any discomfort associated with the thin needles used in the treatment.
Once your skin is numb, your provider will gently guide the microneedling device over the treatment area. This process creates tiny holes across the skin's outermost layer, called the stratum corneum. These precise micro-injuries prompt the release of natural growth factors, increase the activity of blood vessels, and initiate the skin’s healing process.
The entire microneedling procedure takes about 30–60 minutes. Most clients describe the sensation as light pressure or vibration. After your microneedling session, your skin may look pink or red, similar to a mild sunburn, for a few hours to 2–3 days. Before you go home, your aesthetic specialist will provide aftercare instructions to protect and support the treated area as your skin heals.
Support for All Skin Types
Microneedling is clinically proven to treat a range of skin concerns. It is particularly effective for:
Microneedling can also enhance the effects of other treatments, such as PRF skin rejuvenation, by increasing product absorption and strengthening the skin’s foundation.
Progress You Can Feel
The key benefit of microneedling is its ability to trigger collagen induction without relying on heat, chemicals, or ablation. This makes it a preferred option for clients seeking meaningful change without significant side effects or a long recovery.
Because microneedling stimulates your body’s own regenerative process, the results are subtle, natural, and cumulative. As collagen production increases, your skin will feel stronger, smoother, and more vibrant.
With consistent treatment sessions, you may see:
Smoother, firmer skin texture
Reduced visibility of acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks
Improvement in uneven skin tone, dark spots, and enlarged pores
Enhanced collagen production for overall radiance
Boosted response to topical skincare
Visible changes without lengthy downtime
Inclusive by Design
Most adults in good health are candidates for microneedling, especially if you’re looking to address long-term skin concerns like scars, fine lines, or uneven skin tone. The microneedling treatment is suitable for both lighter and darker skin tones, making it a good fit for most patients.
Microneedling might be right for you if you want to:
You may need to avoid microneedling if you’re currently pregnant, taking blood thinners, have active rosacea or cold sores, or have a weakened immune system. At Lilivy, your safety and comfort always come first. Your aesthetic specialist will assess your candidacy for microneedling before recommending treatment.
A Glow That Grows Over Time
Recovery after a microneedling treatment is typically brief and well-tolerated. You can expect mild pinkness or sensitivity in the treated area, which typically fades within 24–72 hours. You may also notice slight flaking or dryness as your skin heals.
During this time:
With proper care, you’ll be back to your normal routine quickly. Your skin will continue to improve for several weeks after your treatment session.
Microneedling offers both immediate and long-term benefits. Many clients notice an initial glow within a few days, followed by ongoing improvements over the next few weeks as new collagen forms and the skin replenishes itself from within.
Most people see the best results after a series of 3–6 treatment sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Improvements in acne scars, surgical scars, facial wrinkles, and skin texture become more pronounced with each session.
Because microneedling works with your body’s own healing mechanisms, the results are gradual but often long-lasting. You’ll look like yourself, just clearer, firmer, and more refreshed.
