Acne Scars. Loose Skin. Enlarged Pores. Sugar Hill Now Has a Real Answer.
These are not surface-level concerns. Acne scarring, skin laxity, and enlarged pores originate in the dermis , the structural layer of the skin where collagen lives and where damage accumulates over years of Georgia sun, breakout cycles, and the natural aging process. Topical products cannot reach that layer. Most spa facials do not come close.
Microneedling at Tactus Health in Sugar Hill creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger your skin’s own collagen response, from the inside out. Our medical team performs every treatment and selects your approach, SkinPen or Pixel8 RF, based on your specific concern, skin type, and what will actually produce results for you.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the dermis. The skin’s wound-healing response generates new collagen and elastin , the structural proteins responsible for firmness, texture, and scar remodeling. Unlike surface treatments, the results build from within.
At Tactus Health we offer two clinically distinct approaches. SkinPen is medical-grade standard microneedling for texture improvement and collagen stimulation. Pixel8 RF adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles into the dermis, producing significantly more aggressive remodeling for skin laxity, deeper acne scars, and structural concerns. Our medical team performs every Pixel8 RF session. Our licensed aestheticians perform SkinPen. Your provider recommends your treatment at your free consultation.
Compare SkinPen vs Pixel8 RF in full →Skin Concerns Microneedling Addresses in Sugar Hill
Both SkinPen and Pixel8 RF target dermal-level concerns that surface treatments cannot reach. The treatment your provider recommends for you depends on the severity of your concern and how deep the correction needs to go.
Rolling, boxcar, and ice-pick scars. SkinPen addresses mild-to-moderate scarring. Pixel8 RF reaches deeper dermal layers for more significant structural remodeling , the most effective non-surgical option for acne scars.
Loss of firmness in the lower face, jawline, and neck. Pixel8 RF’s thermal energy contracts existing collagen while stimulating new production. SkinPen provides mild lifting for early laxity.
Chronically enlarged pores from sebum overproduction, sun damage, or acne history. Collagen remodeling tightens the pore walls and reduces visible pore size over a series of sessions.
Rough, bumpy, or uneven surface texture from photodamage or keratosis pilaris. Both treatments improve texture. Pixel8 RF produces faster and more dramatic improvement for significant cases.
Fine lines from collagen loss around the eyes, mouth, and neck. SkinPen handles mild lines well. Pixel8 RF is more effective for deeper lines and crepe-like texture on the neck.
Dark marks left after breakouts or skin trauma. Microneedling accelerates cellular turnover and reduces pigment over a treatment series. Best combined with VI Peel for significant PIH.
Stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and arms. Pixel8 RF’s deeper energy delivery is the more effective option. Early (pink/red) stretch marks respond best, though older silver marks also improve.
Horizontal neck lines, crepe skin, and early jowling. Pixel8 RF treats the neck simultaneously with the face. One of the most impactful non-surgical improvements available for this area.

Microneedling Questions from Sugar Hill Patients
SkinPen is standard microneedling , fine needles create controlled micro-injuries that trigger collagen production. Pixel8 RF adds radiofrequency energy delivered through the needles into the dermis, creating a thermal stimulus that produces significantly more aggressive collagen and elastin remodeling. SkinPen is performed by our licensed aestheticians and is the right starting point for mild-to-moderate texture concerns and maintenance. Pixel8 RF is performed by our medical team and is the right choice for significant acne scarring, skin laxity, and structural concerns. Your provider recommends which is appropriate at your free consultation.
SkinPen microneedling starts at $350 per single session. A course of three is $1,050 ($350 per session). Pixel8 RF microneedling starts at $750 per single session. A course of three is $2,250 ($750 per session). PRP add-on is $300 per session. CareCredit, Cherry, and AfterPay accepted.
Most patients see meaningful improvement from 3 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Significant acne scarring may benefit from 4-6 sessions. Mild texture concerns and maintenance goals may respond well to 2 sessions followed by annual maintenance. Your provider advises on your specific protocol at your free consultation based on your concern and starting skin condition.
Yes. We treat all six Fitzpatrick skin types, including IV to VI. Microneedling energy is delivered below the epidermis and does not target surface melanin. Deeper skin tones do carry some risk of temporary pigment change, which is why your provider reviews your skin and your history and sets the protocol before your first session.
SkinPen: most patients experience redness for 24 hours and return to normal activities the same day. Makeup can typically be applied within 24 hours. Pixel8 RF: redness and mild swelling for 24-48 hours. Most patients return to work within 2-3 days. Avoid intense exercise, sun exposure, and retinoids for 3-5 days after either treatment.
It depends on your concern. For mild texture, early fine lines, or maintenance goals, SkinPen is the right starting point and the more economical option. For significant acne scarring, visible skin laxity, deep pores, or patients who want the most aggressive non-surgical result available, Pixel8 RF is the better investment from the first session. A Pixel8 RF series ($2,250) produces significantly more aggressive remodeling than a SkinPen series ($1,050). Your provider walks through this honestly at your consultation.
Yes , acne scarring is one of the primary indications for both treatments. SkinPen is effective for mild rolling and shallow boxcar scars. Pixel8 RF reaches deeper dermal layers and produces more aggressive remodeling, making it the more effective option for significant scarring patterns including deeper boxcar and ice-pick scars. Your provider assesses your scar type at consultation and recommends the right approach.
Yes. Microneedling and VI Peel are highly complementary and are commonly alternated , VI Peel addresses surface pigmentation and tone while microneedling addresses structural concerns. Botox addresses dynamic muscle-driven lines while microneedling improves skin quality and firmness. None of these are performed at the same appointment. Your provider designs sequencing at your consultation for a comprehensive treatment plan.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) uses your own plasma, concentrated with growth factors, applied during the microneedling treatment. The micro-channels created by the needles allow the PRP to penetrate deeper than topical application. For patients treating significant acne scarring or wanting to maximize collagen stimulation per session, PRP adds meaningful benefit. It also speeds post-treatment healing. It is optional and discussed at your consultation , not every patient needs it.
