The Art of Rejuvenation: Discover the Transformative Power of Microneedling at Northpoint Aesthetics


At Northpoint Aesthetics, Dr. Jillian Ciocchetti and her team believe that exceptional skincare should be both effective and attainable. From their welcoming facilities in Northglenn and Westminster, Colorado, they blend medical expertise with a luxurious, patient-centered experience—helping clients restore, refine, and rejuvenate their skin with confidence.

Among their advanced skin treatments, microneedling stands out as one of the most powerful ways to renew the skin’s tone, texture, and radiance—naturally.


What Is Microneedling?


Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment designed to awaken your skin’s natural regenerative process. By creating precise micro-injuries on the surface of the skin, microneedling triggers your body’s natural healing response—stimulating new collagen and elastin production. These vital proteins are what keep skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

The treatment works beautifully on the face, neck, décolletage, hands, and other areas where you notice signs of aging or uneven texture. Over a series of sessions, microneedling can help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne scars, stretch marks, and areas of uneven skin tone.


Traditional Microneedling vs. RF Microneedling: What’s the Difference?

At Northpoint Aesthetics, we offer both traditional microneedling and Vivace® RF microneedling, allowing our patients to select the option that best aligns with their skin goals.


Traditional Microneedling

This treatment uses a specialized device fitted with ultra-fine needles to create controlled microchannels in the top layers of the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen and elastin production, enhancing texture, tone, and firmness over time.

  1. Ideal for those seeking smoother, more refined skin
  2. Excellent for treating acne scars, fine lines, and uneven texture
  3. Minimal downtime—most redness fades within 24 hours
  4. Typically performed in a series of 3, or as a regular procedure every 1-2 months for skin maintenance

Traditional microneedling is often the perfect introduction to collagen induction therapy—delivering visible improvement with natural, long-term benefits.


Vivace® RF Microneedling: The Next Level of Skin Renewal

For clients seeking a more advanced option, Vivace RF Microneedling combines the benefits of traditional microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. This FDA-cleared device uses 36 gold-tipped needles to penetrate at customized depths while delivering gentle RF heat beneath the skin’s surface.

The result is deeper collagen remodeling, tighter skin, and enhanced firmness—all with virtually no bleeding or extended downtime. RF microneedling is especially effective for improving skin laxity, fine lines, and texture on the face, neck, and body.


Enhancing Results with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)

For the ultimate in rejuvenation, microneedling can be enhanced with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)—a natural concentration of your own growth factors that amplifies healing and results.

During this treatment, a small amount of your blood is drawn, processed to extract platelets, and then applied or injected following microneedling. The PRP boosts collagen formation, accelerates recovery, and enhances tone and luminosity.

This combination—often referred to as the “Red Carpet Facial”—is particularly effective for improving scarring, stretch marks, fine lines, and overall radiance.


What to Expect

Each treatment begins with a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort. The procedure typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, and you can expect some mild redness that fades within a day.

Because collagen production is a natural, gradual process, results continue to improve over the following weeks. A series of three to six treatments, spaced about a month apart, is usually recommended to achieve the most luminous, lasting outcome.


Who Is a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling is safe for nearly all skin tones and types. It’s a perfect option for anyone seeking natural skin rejuvenation without surgery or significant downtime. Whether your goals are preventive, corrective, or restorative, this treatment can be tailored to meet your skin’s unique needs.
