What is Microneedling?

Microneedling uses ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin over time.

At MedGlo, we offer two microneedling protocols — RF Microneedling and SkinPen Microneedling with Salmon DNA. Both performed personally by Dr. Violeta Recalde, MD.

RF Microneedling adds radiofrequency energy for deeper collagen stimulation and skin tightening — our high-ticket option for patients focused on skin laxity and long-lasting results.

SkinPen with Salmon DNA pairs microneedling with a natural regenerative serum for a visible glow within days — ideal for radiance and renewal.
