Elite Platinum Microneedling
Deeper needling built specifically for acne scars and significant texture correction, performed by Elite MedAesthetic's clinical team.
Reaching the Depth Where Scars Actually Live
Microneedling uses a device with fine sterile needles to create tiny, controlled channels in the skin. Those channels trigger your body to produce fresh collagen and elastin on its own, remodeling the tissue underneath rather than masking it.
Atrophic acne scars sit deeper in the skin than surface texture concerns do, which means a shallow treatment simply cannot reach them. Elite Platinum uses a deeper needling depth, calibrated to your specific scarring, so the treatment actually reaches the tissue that needs to change.
Built for Scars, Not Just Surface Concerns
Reaching scar tissue requires needling further into the dermis than a maintenance facial treatment ever would. That added depth is exactly why this tier calls for real clinical judgment, and exactly why it delivers results a shallow treatment cannot.
- Atrophic acne scars, including rolling and boxcar type scarring
- Surgical and traumatic scars, including wound scarring
- Stretch marks in areas where deeper collagen remodeling is needed
- Moderate to severe skin laxity and advanced signs of aging
- Significant texture irregularities that surface treatments have not resolved
- Clients seeking accelerated skin regeneration beyond what a shallow treatment offers
Looking for a lighter touch treatment for glow, pores, and everyday texture instead? That is exactly what Elite Gold Microneedling was built for.

Elite Platinum can be enhanced with a regenerative complex combining two technologies, applied immediately after needling so they absorb directly into the channels created during treatment, right when your skin is most receptive.
Cell free vesicles derived from stem cells, carrying a concentrated dose of growth factors, proteins, and signaling molecules that support collagen production and cellular repair. Nothing living is transplanted, exosomes simply deliver the regenerative signals stem cells produce.
Purified, sterilized DNA fragments (polynucleotides) derived from salmon, which are highly compatible with human skin and support hydration and tissue repair.
What This Regenerative Complex Actually Does
Research on exosomes and salmon derived polynucleotides shows they can accelerate healing, reduce redness, and enhance collagen and elastin response when combined with microneedling, particularly for scar treatment and skin firmness. It is not a replacement for a full treatment series, and it will not correct scarring on its own, but as an addition to a deep needling session, it is a well supported, reasonable option worth discussing at your consultation. If you have a fish allergy, let your provider know before treatment.
What to Expect
Your provider assesses your scarring and maps the needling depth to your specific skin and goals before beginning.
A topical numbing cream is applied for the full session to keep the deeper depth as comfortable as possible.
Your provider performs the treatment, adjusting depth by area to reach scar tissue while protecting surrounding skin.
If added, the exosome and Salmon DNA complex is applied immediately after needling. Otherwise a recovery focused serum calms and protects freshly treated skin.
You leave with specific instructions for the next several days, since a deeper treatment needs more careful aftercare than a surface session.

His background in NeuroInterventional Radiology carries directly into Elite Platinum, where he and licensed aesthetician Zoee Bralley both map needling depth to each client's scarring with real precision.
What People Ask Before Booking
What is Elite Platinum Microneedling?
Elite Platinum is a deeper depth microneedling treatment built specifically for atrophic acne scars, deep texture irregularities, and stretch marks that shallow needling cannot reach.
Who performs Elite Platinum Microneedling?
Elite Platinum is performed by Elite MedAesthetic's clinical team, including Bobby Stiles, MSN, FNP-C and licensed aesthetician Zoee Bralley. Reaching the depth needed to remodel scar tissue calls for real clinical judgment, and both providers bring that same level of precision to this treatment.
Does Elite Platinum Microneedling hurt more than standard microneedling?
A topical numbing cream is applied before your session, but because the treatment reaches deeper into the skin, most clients feel more sensation than a shallow depth treatment. Your provider adjusts depth and pressure to your comfort and your scarring.
How much downtime does Elite Platinum Microneedling require?
Expect more noticeable redness and mild swelling than a surface level treatment, typically improving over two to three days. Most clients plan this treatment around a few days without major social plans.
How many Elite Platinum sessions are needed for acne scars?
Meaningful scar remodeling typically requires a series of three to five sessions spaced about four weeks apart, since collagen rebuilding happens gradually between treatments.
Is the exosome and Salmon DNA add on worth it for Elite Platinum Microneedling?
This regenerative complex combines exosomes, which are cell free vesicles derived from stem cells carrying concentrated growth factors, with Salmon DNA (PDRN) to support hydration and healing. Research shows it can accelerate recovery and modestly enhance collagen response when combined with microneedling. It is a reasonable add on for scar treatment, though it works alongside the microneedling itself rather than replacing the need for a full series. Clients with a fish allergy should let their provider know beforehand.
