The Flagship Standard

Needling That Earns Its Recommendation

Microneedling runs a field of very fine needles across the skin to make controlled micro-injuries, and the healing that follows builds fresh collagen and elastin. Worked as a series, that softens texture, fine lines, and early acne scarring, a mechanism the dermatology association documents in its microneedling research.

What sets this version apart is what it sits next to. Westchase carries all six of our skin rejuvenation options on one floor, so a needling recommendation here has been weighed against every alternative we own. The protocols are Dr. Tali Arviv's, the physician who founded this practice in 2014 after more than a decade of hands-on laser and device work.

Why This Location

Why Microneedling at the Flagship

Radiofrequency-assisted needling carries its own peer-reviewed research. What varies by practice is the bench the treatment is chosen from, and the hands available to run it.

Six Options, One Recommendation

Needling sits beside PicoWay, CO2, Erbium:YAG, chemical peels, and HydraFacial on this floor, so the recommendation is made with every alternative in the same suite.

Genius RF When Depth Matters

Classic microneedling refines surface texture. When your skin calls for deeper collagen work, Genius RF carries radiofrequency energy through the same needles.

The Deepest Team We Staff

Fourteen staff work at Westchase, among them three advanced-practice providers and three titled laser technicians. It is the largest roster of our three Florida locations.

If hydration is the whole concern rather than collagen, a HydraFacial may cover it without a needle in sight.

What to Expect

From Prep List to Final Session

The appointment is the short part. The collagen your skin builds afterward keeps its own calendar, which is why the plan spans weeks rather than one afternoon.

A Consult on the Full Bench

Your provider examines your skin, weighs needling against the lasers and peels on this same floor, and confirms whether classic or Genius RF fits your concern.

Prep, Then Numbing

A topical numbing cream goes on before anything else. Most guests describe the pass itself as light pressure with a faint scratch.

The First 48 Hours

Redness and mild swelling show for 24 to 48 hours. For two to three days, skip retinol, AHAs, and other active ingredients, and wear a zinc-based sunblock outdoors.

A Cadence, Not a Visit

Plans usually land between three and six sessions with four to six weeks between them, and the series keeps going until your skin hits the mark you set at the consult.

Two Tiers, One Choice

Am I the Right Candidate?

Microneedling prompts collagen through controlled micro-injury and comes in two tiers here, classic and Genius RF with radiofrequency. Your skin sets the tier.

What Needling Is Good At

  • Texture, pores, or acne scarring is the thing you keep coming back to in the mirror.
  • A treatment that works across a wide range of skin tones matters, because narrower options have ruled you out before.
  • A day or two of redness works where a full recovery week does not.
  • You already understand a series is the plan and one session is only the beginning of it.

Weighed Against the Lasers

  • Active acne, infection, or an open lesion at the site means settling that before any needling starts.
  • Scarring readily or recent isotretinoin shifts both the timing and which of the two tiers is appropriate.
  • Blood-thinning medication and clotting conditions are covered before the first pass rather than after it.
  • Where scarring runs deep, CO2 laser resurfacing may be the more direct route despite the recovery, and that trade gets put to you plainly.

Nothing is defaulted to here, because all six resurfacing options sit on one floor and the recommendation is made against every one of them. Book a consult at the Westchase office to have your skin read.

In Their Words

What Tampa Guests Say About Microneedling

A few of our Tampa guests name needling in their reviews, and what they describe is the handling rather than the outcome. That is the honest shape of needling feedback: a series takes months to show, so the part a guest can speak to on the day is how the appointment itself went. What your own skin can expect is a consult conversation, not a review claim. Read more reviews from guests across all three Florida locations.

“Diana has been doing my microneedling for a few months now helping my face go from rough to smooth , she is so sweet , answers any questions I have always (and I come with a lot) , and makes sure I’m completely comfortable each session. Anytime I’ve spoken with anyone else in the office they are also kind and helpful!”

“Jasmine did an amazing job with my microneedling procedure! She was professional, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the process.”

— Rachel H., Verified Google review Read on Google

“I see Diana for several types of treatments including hydrofacials and microneedling. She is excellent, detailed, and thorough. I highly recommend her.”

Individual results vary. Reviews describe one guest’s experience and are not a promise of outcome.

The Tampa Location

A Series Deserves an Easy Drive

Three to six visits means the commute is part of the plan. The Countryway Blvd suite sits in the Westchase area near Citrus Park and Carrollwood, an easy cross from Oldsmar and Safety Harbor on the Pinellas side. If the east coast is home, microneedling in Miami runs classic and Genius RF as well.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I choose microneedling or a laser?

Depth and downtime decide it. Microneedling rebuilds collagen while keeping you presentable within a day or two, while an ablative pass like CO2 laser resurfacing reaches deeper scarring at the cost of a real healing week. Both run on this floor, so your consult weighs them side by side, along with whether a PRP treatment pairing suits your plan.

How do I prepare for a microneedling appointment?

A short list keeps the treatment safe: no Accutane (isotretinoin) within the last three months, no retinol for two days before, no deliberate sun exposure for three days before, and no open wounds or active skin infection in the area we treat. Your coordinator walks through the full checklist when you book.

Can microneedling treat areas beyond the face?

Yes. The same controlled needling is gentle enough for the neck and the skin around the eyes, and it works on the scalp and on body areas where texture or stretch marks bother you. The dermatologic surgery society covers treatable areas and aftercare in its microneedling primer.

How many microneedling sessions will I need?

Plan on three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart, with deeper acne scarring sometimes asking for more. Your provider tells you where you sit at the first consult, and flexible financing can spread the cost of a series.
