5 Reasons Women Are Skipping the Needles
Microneedling became one of skincare’s most talked-about treatments — along with a $200–$700-per-session price tag, repeat appointments and days of redness. Here’s what’s behind the switch to Dr. Brandt Dermal Micro Points: microneedling in a bottle.

01
The math finally makes sense
In-office microneedling typically costs $200 to $700 per session — and most people need several, repeated every 4 to 6 weeks.
Dermal Micro Points brings the idea home: one 1 oz bottle, $92, worked into your night routine. No booking, no waiting room, no running tab.
02
The “needles” are microscopic — and they come from the sea
Instead of steel, Dermal Micro Points uses naturally derived micro-points from a marine sponge, each about 10 microns wide. Massaged in, they create 3 million microchannels in the epidermis within 5 minutes — boosting active penetration by up to 3,000%.†
Then they take care of themselves: the micro-points begin dissolving within 20–30 minutes and fully break down within 24 hours.
03
It goes after collagen — not just the surface
Those microchannels carry a proprietary Skin-Lifting Complex deeper into skin: GABA 5%, a 3D-polypeptide and a hexa-peptide to relax the look of expression lines, plus a Spilanthes and Astragalus botanical for a lifting, firming effect.
In lab testing, collagen levels increased up to 63% after just 48 hours.*
04
The results show up in the mirror
After 28 days of use, 77% of users reported visibly firmer skin, and 77% saw a noticeable lift and contour improvement.**
Clinical evaluation measured up to a 59% reduction in wrinkle area and up to a 62% reduction in wrinkle volume.***
05
It fits the routine you already have
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin at night and massage until absorbed. You’ll feel a tingle — sometimes warmth or a flush of redness. That’s normal. It’s intense by design, and it means the formula is working.
Follow with your moisturizer, go to sleep, and let the formula work overnight.

In-office pricing reflects typical U.S. per-session ranges. Dermal Micro Points is a cosmetic gel inspired by microneedling; it is not a medical procedure.
Mimic the benefits of in-office microneedling — without the pain, cost, or downtime.
Inspired by the effects of microneedling, this innovative collagen-boosting gel formula mimics the benefits of the procedure — without the needles. Natural Dermal Micro-points help renew and revive the skin, paired with skin-lifting actives and anti-wrinkle peptides that penetrate the skin’s surface to boost collagen, even texture, and smooth fine lines. Natural spicules — microscopic structures — create 3 million microchannels within 5 minutes in the epidermis. Beyond enhancing ingredient delivery deep into the skin, they replicate the benefits of microneedling by stimulating the body's natural healing process.
Note: A tingling sensation or warmth is normal — it’s a sign the formula is actively working. For added comfort, follow with our Hydro Biotic Recovery Mask.
