What is Microneedling Treatment?
Premium Microneedling Treatments in South Bay Los Angeles
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure using a device containing multiple fine needles that we apply to the skin in various methods.
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries to the skin. As a result, such micro injuries stimulate the skin’s repair process to naturally create collagen and elastin. Therefore, it makes it an almost perfect tretament for softening fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks.
Best Microneedling Treatments to Boost Collagen Production
To sum, the micro-channels that we produce by a microneedling treatment allow for the best possible absorption of topical products like Hyaluronic Acid and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). Therefore, if you combine your microneeding treatment with Radio Frequency or PRP, you practically increase their effects in the deeper layers of skin.
How does Microneedling Treatment work?
Microneedling works by encouraging your skin to make more collagen! The Microneedling device penetrates the skin causing local cell damage. As a result, the little injuries stimulate the skin’s natural repair process and boost collagen production. Consequently, this begins the healing process and increases cell turnover.
To sum, microneedling results are smoother fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and stretch marks.

At Skin Works Medical Spa, we can add Platelet-Rich Plasma or PRP to your micro-needling treatment. Microneedling with PRP application is a supreme treatment for smoothing wrinkles and scars. Platelet Rich Plasma is a concentration of platelets in the blood that are essential to wound healing. When used for skin rejuvenation, PRP releases growth factors into the skin to speed up the body’s own repair process. PRP also addresses under-eye puffiness and dark circles to create a more youthful appearance. Micro-needling with or without PRP improves fine lines and wrinkles, reduces acne scars, softens stretch marks, and reduces appearance of pores.

Microneedling involves rapidly piercing the skin with tiny microneedles. This stimulates collagen production in the skin, begins the healing process, and increases cell turnover. It is also known as skin needling or Percutaneous Collagen Induction.
Our highly skilled medical professionals use a medical-grade micro-needling device that therapeutically penetrates the skin, causing localized damage and some bleeding. This stimulates the infiltration of fibroblasts, which lead to elastic and collagen production. Receptor sites are created for a variety of different serums to be absorbed.
Microneedling helps tighten skin and improve its texture by decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. The depth of acne scars can be reduced with a series of treatments. Micro-needling can reinvigorate your skin by improving circulation, allowing for bright, radiant skin! It can also be used to help decrease the appearance of stretch marks or hyperpigmentation issues, including melasma.
Individuals that want to treat acne scarring and/or mild to moderate skin laxity, also known as “sagginess.” All skin types can be treated with micro-needling, even skin that has sun damage or dark spots!

One of our medical professionals will apply medical-grade numbing cream to the site to remove most of the sensation in the area. The pen will move across the skin quickly and may feel a little prickly, but it will not be painful or uncomfortable.
It will take about 30 minutes for the numbing cream to work and the treatment takes an additional 15 to 30 minutes. The amount of time can vary depending upon the target area and skin thickness. The average total time is usually an hour.
One of our highly skilled medical professionals will numb the site and begin your treatment with artful precision.
Skin in the treatment area will become noticeably tighter, brighter, and smoother after just one treatment. Scars, fine lines, and wrinkles become less noticeable while the skin tone becomes more even.

During your treatment, you will most likely have some pinpoint bleeding that will stop quickly. After your treatment, you will initially have pink, sensitive skin that will resolve in a few days, revealing the soft, radiant skin underneath.
We recommend that you avoid prolonged sun exposure, strenuous exercise, hot showers, hot tubs, saunas, and baths for at least 1 week after treatment.
The number of treatments depends on the condition of the skin at the time of treatment.
Individuals typically receive anywhere from 6 to 10 treatments in order to dramatically improve their complexion.
If you are just trying to tone or tighten the skin, you will most likely need 6 treatments, while those trying to reduce scarring may require at least 8 to 10 treatments.
Treatments should be between 4 to 6 weeks apart. Your face needs to heal in between sessions, but it is also important to get regular treatments in order to maximize collagen and elastin production.
Our skillful medical professionals will help you come up with a schedule to get maximum results in the least time possible!
