Revolutionary Microneedling for Smoother, Firmer Skin
What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as percutaneous collagen induction (PCI), is a minimally invasive procedure that involves using fine needles to create micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin, resulting in improved skin texture and reduced appearance of wrinkles and scars.
At Aesthetics and Medical Lasers of Colorado, we offer the Candela Exceed™, the first FDA-cleared medical microneedling device proven to treat both facial wrinkles and acne scars. This advanced treatment stimulates collagen and elastin production, enhancing your skin’s natural ability to heal and rejuvenate.
The Candela Exceed™ is a leading-edge medical microneedling device, recognized as the first in the United States to receive dual FDA clearance for treating both facial wrinkles and acne scars. This minimally invasive procedure stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are vital for maintaining youthful, smooth, and firm skin.
How does the Exceed™ device differ from other microneedling devices?
The Exceed™ device is the first dual-indicated, FDA-cleared medical microneedling system for treating both facial wrinkles and acne scars. It features adjustable needle depths (ranging from 0.0mm to 1.5mm) and a lightweight, ergonomically designed handpiece for precise and comfortable treatments. Additionally, its quiet operation enhances the overall patient and provider experience.
Why Choose Candela Exceed™?
✔ FDA-Cleared for Wrinkles & Acne Scars – Clinically proven to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars.

What can I expect during an Exceed™ microneedling treatment?
🔹 Quick & Comfortable – A numbing cream may be applied for added comfort. The treatment typically takes under an hour.
🔹 Minimal Downtime – Some redness and mild swelling may occur but resolve quickly.
🔹 Gradual, Natural-Looking Results – Collagen production continues for weeks after treatment, leading to smoother, firmer skin.
During the procedure, a sterile, single-use needle cartridge is attached to the Exceed™ device. The provider will adjust the needle depth and frequency based on your specific skin needs. The device is then gently moved across the treatment area in small, circular motions to achieve the desired clinical endpoint, typically indicated by pinpoint bleeding. Most treatments are completed in under an hour, including patient preparation.
