Microneedling in Tampa, FL
Collagen induction therapy for acne scars, texture issues, fine lines, and overall skin rejuvenation.
Most Tampa spas treat microneedling like an assembly line. Same depth for everyone. Same serums. Same aftercare. You get what’s on the protocol sheet, not what your skin actually needs.
The result? Inflammation without improvement. Downtime without results. Money spent on treatment #5 when #1 didn’t work.
How Tara Does It Differently
After 10+ years working with skin—really studying how it heals, what it responds to, what causes setbacks—Tara knows microneedling isn’t one-size-fits-all.
Your acne scars don’t need the same needle depth as someone’s fine lines. Your skin barrier doesn’t tolerate the same serums as someone without rosacea. Your healing timeline is different if you have autoimmune issues.
So every microneedling session at Skin Deep starts the same way: looking at YOUR skin.
Where’s the damage? What’s realistic? What’s your skin going to tolerate?
Then she customizes:
• Needle depth (0.5mm to 2.5mm depending on area and goal)
• Serums (medical-grade hyaluronic acid, growth factors, peptides—not the stuff they’re trying to sell you)
• Numbing protocol (if needed)
• Post-treatment care specific to your skin type
The goal isn’t to check a box. It’s to actually improve your skin.
What Microneedling Treats
Acne Scarring – Ice pick scars, rolling scars, boxcar scars—microneedling stimulates collagen in depressed areas to level texture over time.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles – Controlled injury triggers your skin’s healing response, building new collagen and elastin. Results improve over several months.
Texture & Pore Size – Uneven texture, large pores, rough skin—microneedling smooths and refines over a series of treatments.
Hyperpigmentation – Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne, sun damage, or melasma responds well when combined with the right serums.
What to Expect
Before Your Appointment – Avoid retinoids and exfoliating acids for 3-5 days. Come with clean skin (no makeup).
During Treatment – Numbing cream applied (20-30 min). Treatment takes 30-45 minutes depending on areas treated. You’ll feel pressure and some prickling, but it’s tolerable.
After TreatTampa Skincare Treatments That Actually Work
ment – Your skin will be red and feel warm (like a sunburn) for 24-48 hours. Mild peeling days 2-5 is normal. You’ll see initial glow within a week, but real results build over 4-6 weeks as collagen remodels.
How Many Sessions? – Depends on your goal. Acne scars typically need 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Anti-aging maintenance might be 2-3 sessions yearly. Tara will be honest about what’s realistic for your skin.
