Miami’s Best Microneedling Therapy with EMS in Bricklell
Microneedling with EMS & Light Therapy — Miami’s Collagen Reboot by Alan Araujo
Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy) is a precise, intentional micro-injury to the dermis that activates your body’s own wound-healing cascade—new collagen, stronger elastin, smoother texture. At Lux MedSpa Brickell, Founder Alan Araujo elevates the protocol with EMS muscle stimulation (for tone and microcirculation) and LED light therapy tailored in session: red to support collagen remodelling and elasticity, or blue to calm acne, reduce inflammation, and protect a fragile skin barrier. The result: firmer, clearer, more resilient skin with minimal downtime.
Why This Protocol Wins in Miami
Miami skin works hard—sun, humidity, SPF, makeup, and city stress. Microneedling is the gold-standard reset. It creates thousands of uniform micro-channels that act like “express lanes,” delivering pro-grade actives deeper while switching on your natural repair signals. Add EMS and LED, and the response becomes more targeted: you’ll see a faster glow, better tone, and calmer skin from session one.
What Each Component Does (Clean & Clinical)
- Microneedling: controlled micro-channels trigger collagen and elastin renewal; refine pores; soften scars and lines.
- EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation): gentle impulses engage facial muscles for improved tone, microcirculation, and nutrient delivery—think subtle “lifted” look over time.
- Red LED: supports dermal remodelling and elasticity—ideal for lines, laxity, photoaging.
- Blue LED: targets acne-causing bacteria and inflammatory responses—ideal when the barrier is compromised or breakouts are active.
Comparison #1 — Standard Needling vs Needling + EMS + LED
| Protocol | What Happens | Best For | Result Profile |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Microneedling | Micro-channels activate collagen; topical actives absorb better. | Texture, fine lines, pigment irregularities, mild scars. | Smoother texture, refined pores, gradual firmness. |
| Microneedling + EMS + Red/Blue LED | Needling + muscle stimulation + targeted light response (red for collagen / blue for acne & inflammation). | Lines & laxity, acne-prone or inflamed skin, noticeable scarring, uneven tone. | Faster visible glow, improved tone & contour, calmer skin, better long-term remodelling. |
Comparison #2 — Professional Microneedling vs Home Rollers
| Aspect | Professional (in-clinic) | Home Roller |
|---|---|---|
| Depth & Precision | Medical-grade devices, controlled depths per area and concern. | Superficial stimulation; inconsistent pressure and depth. |
| Safety & Sanitation | Sterile environment; single-use tips; clinical protocols. | Higher risk of contamination or improper technique. |
| Adjuncts | EMS + red/blue LED + pro-grade actives. | Typically none or cosmetic topicals only. |
| Outcomes | Noticeable change in texture, tone, scars, fine lines. | Temporary smoothness and absorption boost; modest gains. |
Who’s an Ideal Candidate?
If you’re seeking a non-surgical path to address fine lines, deeper wrinkles, acne scarring/pitting, sun damage and hyperpigmentation, reduced elasticity, or uneven texture—this protocol was made for you.
Visible Results
- Reduced fine lines, wrinkles, and the look of acne scars
- Improved elasticity and subtle facial-contour definition (with EMS)
- Brighter, more even tone with refined texture
- Calmer skin when blue LED is indicated; improved resilience with red LED
Treatment Snapshot
- Includes: Microneedling + EMS + red/blue LED; optional infusion of regenerative actives (e.g., EGF or exosome-based formulas where appropriate).
- Downtime: typically light redness for 24–48 hours; makeup often avoided for 24 hours.
- Series: most guests see best results with 3–6 sessions ~4–6 weeks apart, plus maintenance.
Pre-Care & Aftercare (Keep Skin Calm, Results High)
- Pause retinoids, strong acids, and sun exposure 3–5 days pre-treatment.
- Post: gentle cleanser + hydrating serum; daily mineral SPF; avoid intense heat/sweat 24–48h.
- Do not pick or scrub flaking; allow natural shedding.
- Reintroduce actives gradually—your provider will guide timing.
FAQ — Microneedling in Miami
Microneedling vs RF microneedling — which is better?
Both stimulate collagen; RF adds thermal energy. Our protocol emphasizes precision needling + EMS + tailored LED to maximize results while keeping skin calm. We’ll advise which pathway aligns with your goals and skin type.
How many sessions do I need?
Plan on 3–6 sessions spaced ~4–6 weeks apart for best remodelling; maintenance quarterly keeps results fresh.
Is microneedling safe for acne-prone or inflamed skin?
Yes when properly assessed and sequenced. Blue LED helps reduce acne bacteria and inflammation. Active cystic flares may require timing adjustments—Alan will guide your plan.
Can darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) have microneedling?
Yes, with conservative depth selection and barrier-supportive aftercare. We avoid aggressive post-needling actives and prioritize pigment-safe protocols.
How long do results last?
Collagen remodelling builds over 4–6 weeks post-visit and compounds with a series. Maintenance and daily SPF help results last.
What’s the downtime?
Typically 24–48 hours of visible redness and light sensitivity. Most resume normal routines within 1–2 days (avoid heavy sweat/heat initially).
Microneedling cost in Miami?
Pricing varies by provider, depth, and adjuncts (EMS/LED/regenerative actives). Contact us for current options via Contact.
Can I combine this with HydraFacial or metabolic peels?
Yes—sequencing matters. We often pair with detoxifying or metabolic resurfacing on separate visits to protect the barrier and amplify glow.
When will I see results?
Early glow appears within days; texture, tone, and firmness improve across the next 4–6 weeks and continue with a series.
Is microneedling good for acne scars and enlarged pores?
Yes—collagen remodelling softens depressed scars and refines pore look. Multiple sessions yield the best changes.
What about melasma or hyperpigmentation?
We treat conservatively with pigment-safe plans, daily SPF, and careful active re-introduction. A consult determines candidacy and timing.
Can I work out afterward?
Skip heavy sweating, hot yoga, saunas, and steam for 24–48 hours to keep redness and irritation low.
Which LED is right for me—red or blue?
Red for collagen/elasticity; Blue for calming acne and inflammation. We select in session based on your current skin state.
