Microneedling — your collagen, stimulated.
Stimulates your own collagen. A good choice for fine lines, pore size, and acne scarring. Sessions take about 20 minutes; you'll see initial results in 2–4 weeks, with 3–4 sessions recommended for deeper concerns. Safe for all skin types.
The clinic
505 Ashebrooke Sq · Morgantown, WV 26508. By appointment only. Free consultations — we plan the session count up front.
What it is
The skin repairs itself, on signal.
Microneedling uses a precision device with very fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. The body responds by producing new collagen and elastin during the natural healing process — the same proteins that keep skin firm and smooth.
It's well-suited to fine lines, enlarged pores, and acne scarring. Because it's stimulating your own tissue (not adding a foreign substance), results build gradually — typically visible at 2–4 weeks and continuing to improve over several months.
We can add boosters like exosomes to amplify results — discussed at consultation if relevant.
What to expect
The visit, in plain numbers.
Time
~20 minutes
Topical numbing first, then the treatment itself. The whole visit usually runs 45–60 minutes with prep.
Downtime
1–2 days
Mild redness 1–2 days; some dryness or flaking possible for up to a week. Most patients return to normal next-day.
Results
2–4 weeks
Initial results in 2–4 weeks. For scarring or deeper wrinkles, plan on 3–4 sessions to see meaningful change.
Who administers
Carmen Orrico, RN, Master Aesthetician.

Under the medical direction of Rod Hojat, MD, FACOG — board-certified OB/GYN and Medical Director for the practice.
Pricing
Per session. Series quoted upfront.
Pricing is consultation-based — we set a plan and the math in your free visit. If a series of 3–4 sessions is the right call, we'll quote the series so you're not guessing on session two.
Booster add-ons (such as exosomes) are priced separately and discussed at consultation if they make sense for your goals.
