What should I expect during my first visit?

Your first visit begins with a comprehensive consultation where your provider will assess your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and develop a personalized treatment plan. Most consultations last 30-45 minutes, and many treatments can be performed the same day.

Is there a consultation fee?

We offer complimentary consultations for most services. During your consultation, your provider will outline recommended treatments, expected results, and transparent pricing so you can make an informed decision with no pressure.

Our licensed providers are trained to evaluate your unique anatomy, skin type, and goals to recommend the most effective treatments. We believe in an honest, education-first approach and will only recommend procedures that will deliver meaningful results for you.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. We partner with leading healthcare financing providers to offer flexible payment plans with low or no-interest options. We also accept all major credit cards, HSA/FSA cards, and offer package pricing for multi-session treatments.

Are the treatments safe?

All of our treatments are FDA-approved or FDA-cleared and performed by licensed, trained medical professionals. We use only authentic, brand-name products sourced directly from manufacturers. Your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities.

How do I prepare for my appointment?

Preparation varies by treatment. Generally, we recommend avoiding blood thinners, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for 24-48 hours before your appointment. Your provider will give you specific pre-treatment instructions during your consultation.

5 Reasons Microneedling Is the Best Investment for Your Skin

In a world overflowing with skincare products, serums, and gadgets, it can be hard to know where to invest your money for real, visible results. Microneedling — also known as collagen induction therapy — stands out as one of the most effective, versatile, and evidence-backed professional skin treatments available today. At Lodi MedSpa, it is one of our most requested services, and for good reason. Here are five compelling reasons microneedling might be the best investment you make for your skin.

1. It Treats Multiple Skin Concerns at Once

Unlike many treatments that target a single issue, microneedling addresses a broad spectrum of concerns simultaneously. During a single session, microneedling can improve acne scars, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, minimize enlarged pores, even out skin tone and hyperpigmentation, smooth rough texture, and boost overall radiance. This versatility makes it one of the most efficient treatments you can get — instead of layering multiple procedures, microneedling tackles everything in one appointment.

2. It Works With Your Body, Not Against It

Microneedling works by creating thousands of tiny, controlled micro-channels in the skin using fine sterile needles. These micro-injuries trigger your body's natural wound-healing response, which includes three phases: inflammation (your body sends growth factors and collagen-building cells to the area), proliferation (new collagen, elastin, and blood vessels form), and remodeling (the new tissue matures and strengthens over the following weeks and months). Because microneedling harnesses your own healing mechanisms, the results are natural, gradual, and long-lasting. You are not masking a problem — you are genuinely improving the quality and structure of your skin.

3. It Is Safe for All Skin Types

One of the biggest advantages of microneedling over laser treatments is its safety profile across all skin types and tones. Laser treatments carry a risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially in patients with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick skin types IV-VI). Microneedling does not use heat or light energy, so the risk of pigmentation changes is significantly lower. This makes it an excellent option for patients who may not be ideal candidates for certain laser procedures. At Lodi MedSpa, we customize the needle depth and treatment intensity based on your individual skin type and concerns.

4. Minimal Downtime, Maximum Results

In the aesthetic world, there is often a trade-off between results and downtime. Microneedling offers an unusually favorable ratio. After treatment, you can expect 1-3 days of redness similar to a mild sunburn. There is no peeling, no scabbing, and no extended time away from your normal routine. Most patients return to work and daily activities the next day, using mineral sunscreen and gentle skincare. Compare this to chemical peels (5-7 days of peeling), laser resurfacing (7-14 days of downtime), or ablative procedures that require weeks of recovery. Microneedling delivers professional-grade results without derailing your schedule.

5. Results Compound Over Time

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of microneedling is its cumulative effect. While you will notice improvement after a single session — smoother texture, brighter complexion, smaller-looking pores — the real magic happens over a series of treatments. Each session builds on the previous one, stimulating more collagen and further refining your skin. Most patients achieve their best results after 3-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. And because microneedling creates structural changes in your skin (new collagen and elastin fibers), the results last well beyond your final session. Many patients maintain their results with a single maintenance treatment every 3-6 months.

Enhance Your Results: PRF Microneedling

For patients who want to supercharge their microneedling results, we offer PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin) microneedling. This advanced treatment combines microneedling with growth factors derived from your own blood, applied topically during the procedure. The growth factors penetrate through the micro-channels and accelerate healing, boost collagen production, and enhance overall skin quality. PRF microneedling is particularly effective for acne scarring, under-eye dark circles, and patients seeking the most dramatic improvement possible.
