Your skin naturally produces less collagen as the years go on, which can lead to laxity, fine lines, and uneven texture. Microneedling and collagen induction therapies work below the surface to support renewal and improve the look and feel of your skin.
At Medical Aesthetics, these treatments are performed by a highly trained team that includes board-certified nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and licensed aestheticians. With their experience in advanced aesthetic treatments, our team focuses on safe care to help support long-term skin health. You can visit us at any of our locations in North Easton, Hingham, Milton, and Westwood, Massachusetts.

Morpheus8
Morpheus8 is a microneedling device that utilizes radiofrequency energy to remodel and contour the face and body via subdermal adipose remodeling. This fractional treatment penetrates deep into the skin and fat for a smoother and sleeker appearance. Morpheus8 can be combined with PRP for optimal results.
Skin Pen® Microneedling
SkinPen® creates micro-channels (microscopic holes) at a rate of 1600 per second. These wounds stimulate your skin, kicking its healing process into high gear. Best of all, SkinPen® doesn’t rely on heat or chemicals, so the results are natural and safe for all skin tones and types.
PRP Injections
PRP injections are prepared by taking anywhere from one to a few tubes of your own blood, which will run through a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets. These activated platelets are injected directly into the targeted area. This releases growth factors that stimulate and increase the number of reparative and rejuvenating cells your body produces.
Sculptra®
Sculptra® is a biostimulator that is injected into the deep layer of the skin where collagen naturally exists and is made. Sculptra® works by initially filling a wrinkle, while stimulating your body’s natural production of collagen and elastin. This reinforced collagen structure provides a foundation that gradually restores the look of fullness of your shallow to deep facial wrinkles and folds that has been depleted over time. A full treatment of Sculptra® Aesthetic (an average of three injection sessions over a few months) can last up to two years.
Why Choose Medical Aesthetics for Collagen Induction Treatments?
Collagen induction treatments require both technical skill and a strong understanding of skin physiology. At Medical Aesthetics, your care is guided by a team of experienced nurse practitioners and registered nurses who are trained in advanced aesthetic procedures and energy-based technologies. Their clinical backgrounds, combined with ongoing education in the latest techniques, allow for thoughtful treatment planning that aligns with your skin’s needs and goals.
Beyond their medical training, the team works closely together to support your skin at every stage of treatment. Licensed aestheticians and certified laser technicians partner with medical providers to guide everything from preparation to recovery. This coordination helps keep your care consistent and ensures each treatment plan is built around your specific skin and goals.
Ideal Candidates for Collagen Induction and Skin Tightening Treatments
Collagen induction and skin tightening treatments can be a good option if you want to improve skin quality without surgery. Many patients choose these treatments when they start to notice:
- Mild skin laxity
- Fine lines
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin texture
They can also work well for those who want to maintain their skin and support collagen production over time.
These treatments are suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones when performed by experienced providers. In general, ideal candidates:
- Are in good overall health
- Have realistic expectations
- Are open to a series of treatments rather than a one-time session
During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin and goals to recommend the most appropriate plan.
Which Treatment Is Right for You?
The best treatment depends on your specific concerns and how much downtime you’re comfortable with.
For more surface-level concerns, such as texture, tone, and early signs of aging, we might recommend SkinPen® microneedling or PRP treatments, which support collagen production with minimal downtime.
For deeper concerns, including skin laxity, more defined wrinkles, or areas that need contouring, your provider may suggest Morpheus8 or Sculptra®. These treatments work at a deeper level and are often part of a more comprehensive plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy, allowing it to reach deeper layers of the skin and target concerns like skin laxity and deeper wrinkles. SkinPen® focuses on more superficial microneedling, which helps improve texture, fine lines, and overall skin tone. Because Morpheus8 works at a deeper level, it typically involves more downtime, while SkinPen® treatments usually have a shorter recovery period.
Microneedling with PRP is generally considered safe for most skin types and tones when performed by trained medical professionals. Because PRP uses your own blood components, the risk of adverse reactions is low. Treatment settings and depth can be adjusted based on your skin.
Most patients benefit from a series of treatments rather than a single session. Depending on the treatment used and your specific skin concerns, your provider may recommend a series of three or more sessions spaced several weeks apart, plus ongoing maintenance treatments.
In some cases, Sculptra® can be used alongside other collagen-stimulating treatments like microneedling or PRP as part of a broader treatment plan. Each treatment works differently to support collagen production, so combining them may enhance overall results. Your provider will determine the safest timing and combination based on your goals and treatment history.
