There’s a reason skin that looks healthy is never a coincidence—it’s a reflection of what’s happening beneath the surface. Fine lines, uneven tone, acne scarring, and dullness all point to one underlying issue: collagen depletion.
At The Glow Lab, we approach skin through the lens of long-term regeneration, not temporary correction—and there’s no treatment more foundational to that philosophy than Microneedling with the Dp4.
WHY MICRONEEDLING MATTERS
Microneedling—often called collagen induction therapy—is not new, but the way we perform it is. The Dp4 is the most advanced microneedling technology in the world, engineered to remodel skin structure at the cellular level. It’s a next-generation system that combines precision depth control with advanced oscillation technology to trigger the body’s natural healing response.
Every controlled microchannel created by the Dp4 signals your skin to regenerate—stimulating fibroblast activity and the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid.
The result: smoother texture, refined pores, lifted tone, and a firmer, more luminous complexion.
But at The Glow Lab, we don’t stop at collagen—we rebuild your skin’s entire healing intelligence.
THE SCIENCE BEHIND DP4
The Dp4 uses 1,920 microchannels per second, creating uniform, controlled stimulation without tearing or dragging. This precision allows us to treat everything from delicate under-eye areas to deeper acne scarring with equal safety and efficacy.
Unlike older microneedling devices, the Dp4 features anti-contamination technology, single-use sterile cartridges, and calibrated oscillation that minimizes discomfort and maximizes results.
What this means in real terms:
-
Smoother, stronger skin barrier
-
Dramatically improved fine lines and wrinkles
-
Faded post-acne scarring and pigmentation
-
Pore refinement and restored elasticity
-
Noticeably firmer, more radiant tone
You’re not simply resurfacing your skin—you’re teaching it to regenerate, over and over again.
WHAT SETS THE GLOW LAB PROTOCOL APART
We treat microneedling as a full skin reprogramming experience—not a stand-alone service.
Every Dp4 session is customized with corrective serums and post-treatment actives that target your unique concerns, from acne to aging to pigmentation.
Your treatment includes:
-
Deep double cleanse to remove impurities and prep the barrier.
-
Customized serum infusion during needling—such as peptides for firming, brightening actives for pigment, or healing complexes for acne repair.
-
Regenerative finishing protocol with cooling peptides and barrier-restoring hydration to enhance healing and glow.
Within 24 hours, most clients notice smoother texture and a post-treatment luminosity that only deep cellular renewal can create.
RESULTS YOU CAN EXPECT
Microneedling works cumulatively—collagen takes time to build, but the visible difference after each session is undeniable.
Most clients begin with a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance sessions two to three times per year.
You’ll see:
-
Early tightening within 10 days
-
Brighter, more even tone
-
Gradual softening of fine lines and scars
-
Lasting firmness and radiance over 6–12 weeks
It’s a transformation that deepens, not fades, with time.
COMBINING MICRONEEDLING WITH AEROLASE: THE ULTIMATE COLLAGEN SYNERGY
For clients ready to experience the next tier of transformation, we combine Dp4 Microneedling with the Aerolase Neo Elite laser—a synergy that addresses both the surface and the structure of the skin.
Here’s why it works so powerfully:
Aerolase Neo Elite uses advanced 650-microsecond 1064nm laser energy to penetrate deep into the dermis, targeting melanin, hemoglobin, and water simultaneously. It calms inflammation, clears acne-causing bacteria, fades pigment, and stimulates collagen from within—without pain or downtime.
When performed before microneedling, it preconditions the skin by heating the deeper dermal layers and increasing cellular activity. This means that when the Dp4 begins its mechanical collagen induction, the fibroblasts are already active and ready to rebuild.
The result?
-
Faster collagen remodeling
-
More dramatic skin tightening and tone correction
-
Accelerated healing and reduced redness post-needling
-
Visible transformation after just one session
Think of Aerolase as priming the canvas, and microneedling as sculpting the masterpiece. Together, they create unparalleled skin restoration—completely non-invasively.
WHO IT’S FOR
This treatment is ideal for anyone seeking a natural yet measurable correction without injectables or aggressive resurfacing. Whether you’re managing hormonal acne, scarring, early laxity, or pigmentation, the Dp4—especially when paired with Aerolase—provides an elegant, clinical solution.
Safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types, including sensitive, rosacea-prone, and melasma-prone complexions, this combination delivers results that feel effortless but look profound.
FAQ: MICRONEEDLING WITH DP4
How many treatments will I need?
Most clients begin with a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. This allows collagen remodeling to occur gradually for optimal, lasting results. Maintenance sessions are recommended every 3–6 months to preserve firmness and glow.
Is there downtime?
Downtime is minimal. Expect mild redness and sensitivity for 12–24 hours, similar to a light sunburn. Makeup can typically be worn the next day, and most clients return to normal activities immediately.
What does it feel like?
The Dp4’s precision-engineered oscillation system minimizes discomfort. Most describe the sensation as light pressure with mild warmth—completely tolerable, especially compared to older microneedling devices.
When will I see results?
You’ll notice smoother, more radiant skin within 7–10 days. Collagen production continues for 6–12 weeks, creating progressive improvement in texture, firmness, and tone.
Can I wear makeup after microneedling?
We recommend avoiding makeup for the first 24 hours to allow the microchannels to close and heal. After that, mineral-based products can be safely applied.
What’s the difference between Dp4 and other microneedling systems?
The Dp4 is the only microneedling device that delivers 1,920 controlled channels per second, creating precise micro-injury with minimal inflammation. It also features anti-contamination guards and digital depth calibration for consistent, sterile results—making it both safer and more effective than traditional rollers or pens.
Is it safe for acne or melasma-prone skin?
Yes. Dp4 is designed for sensitive and compromised skin types, including acne-prone and melasma-prone complexions. It supports barrier healing and collagen remodeling without triggering inflammation or pigment activation.
Can it be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely. Dp4 pairs beautifully with Aerolase Neo Elite, BioRePeel, or Dermaplaning for layered correction. Combination therapy accelerates collagen synthesis, clears pigment, and enhances radiance with minimal downtime.
