SkinPen microneedling can be customized with several add-on treatments to target your specific skin goals, from calming post-procedure redness to boosting collagen production even further. At Bowtique Med Spa in Sarasota & Lakewood Ranch, our providers offer five popular add-ons — a soothing biocellulose mask, a deluxe facial, dermaplaning, Sculptra Collagen Boost, and TempSure skin tightening — so every microneedling appointment can be tailored to what your skin needs most. In this blog, we'll break down each add-on and help you figure out which one is the right fit for you.
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, this process is also called collagen induction therapy because the body responds to those micro-injuries by producing fresh collagen, which can smooth wrinkles, fade scars, and even out skin tone and texture over time. SkinPen is an FDA-cleared device, and Bowtique Med Spa providers use it to treat acne scarring, fine lines, and uneven texture for clients throughout Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch.
SkinPen Microneedling Add-On Options at Bowtique Med Spa
While SkinPen microneedling delivers strong results on its own, pairing it with the right add-on can enhance comfort, exfoliation, or collagen stimulation depending on your goals. Bowtique Med Spa offers five add-on treatments to customize your microneedling experience:
- Mask: A premium biocellulose mask that quickly soothes and calms all skin types, making it ideal for post-procedure skin.
- Facial: Turn your microneedling experience into a deluxe treatment by adding any facial treatment.
- Dermaplaning: Pre-microneedling dermaplaning for an upgraded exfoliation treatment.
- Sculptra Collagen Boost: Our most popular add-on treatment, which adds an extra boost of collagen stimulation.
- TempSure: Radiofrequency for the ultimate skin tightening treatment, which adds no extra downtime.
Biocellulose Mask for Post-Procedure Soothing
A biocellulose mask calms and hydrates the skin immediately after microneedling, when it's naturally more sensitive. This premium mask is formulated for all skin types, so it's a comfortable option whether your skin runs oily, dry, or sensitive. Adding this mask at the end of your appointment helps minimize post-procedure redness before you leave Bowtique Med Spa.
Add a Facial for a Deluxe Microneedling Experience
Clients who want to turn their microneedling visit into a more indulgent appointment can add any facial treatment to their session. This combination lets you address surface-level skin concerns, like dullness or congestion, at the same visit where you're also stimulating deeper collagen renewal. It's a popular choice for clients treating themselves to a full skin-health day.
Dermaplaning Before Microneedling for Enhanced Exfoliation
Adding dermaplaning before your microneedling treatment gives you an upgraded exfoliation experience. Dermaplaning removes the top layer of dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (sometimes called "peach fuzz"), leaving a smoother surface. Starting your session with this extra layer of exfoliation can help your skin feel more refined by the time your provider begins microneedling.
Sculptra Collagen Boost: The Most Popular Microneedling Add-On
Sculptra Collagen Boost is Bowtique Med Spa's most popular microneedling add-on because it adds an extra layer of collagen stimulation on top of what microneedling already provides. Sculptra is an FDA-approved injectable that works gradually to replace lost collagen, so pairing it with microneedling gives clients two complementary paths toward firmer, more youthful-looking skin. Clients interested in more information can also read about Sculptra as a standalone treatment on our injectables page.
TempSure Skin Tightening With No Added Downtime
TempSure uses radiofrequency energy to tighten skin, and it's a favorite add-on for clients who want extra firmness without adding recovery time. Radiofrequency devices heat the deeper layers of the skin, which the American Academy of Dermatology notes can prompt the body to produce more collagen and gradually improve skin laxity. Because TempSure doesn't require downtime, it pairs easily with a microneedling appointment without extending your recovery.
How to Choose the Right Microneedling Add-On for Your Skin
The best add-on for you depends on what you're hoping to get out of your microneedling appointment. If your priority is comfort right after treatment, the biocellulose mask is a simple, calming choice. If you're focused on maximizing collagen stimulation, Sculptra Collagen Boost or TempSure may be a better fit. And if you want a more complete pampering experience, adding a facial or dermaplaning rounds out the visit.
At your appointment, Bowtique Med Spa providers Kathleen Feeney, APRN, Melissa Green, NP, and Ashley Jean Dinkel, PA-C, along with Licensed Esthetician Liz Valera, can walk you through which add-ons make sense for your skin type, concerns, and goals. Because every client's skin responds differently to treatment, a quick conversation with your provider before your appointment is the best way to build a plan that's tailored to you.
