MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is one of the most popular non-surgical aesthetic skin treatments for treating texture and tone. We partner with SkinPen, one of the most trusted brands, for offering safe and effective microneedling treatments.
The revolutionary treatment works by creating micro-channels in the skin that stimulate new collagen and elastin in the dermis during the natural healing process. It is minimally invasive, offers little to no social downtime, and is safe for most skin types. Plus, it delivers results in as little as one treatment!

BENEFITS OF MICRONEEDLING
Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling addresses aging skin, acne scars, uneven pigment, stretch marks, keloid scars, and surgical scars by stimulating the skin tissues’ natural healing response.
Microneedling procedures are among the most trusted treatments for improving skin elasticity, minimizing enlarged pores, and maintaining overall skin health. In just a few treatment sessions, a range of concerns, from acne scars to uneven skin texture are traded for a youthful glow.
Microneedling can be combined with other therapies like growth factors and topical products to further target any skin imperfections, with the micro-channels maximizing absorption.

- Peptides

- Hyaluronic Acid (HA)
- BioJuve Probiotic
Most patients typically require 3-6 microneedling sessions for the best results. After the treatment, you can expect to see brighter, smoother skin with smaller pores, fewer deep wrinkles, and less noticeable acne scars. Additionally, your skin will appear more youthful and plump due to increased collagen production.

IDEAL CANDIDATES
Microneedling treats all skin types on the Fitzpatrick Scale, including dark skin tones, presenting with signs of aging or damaged skin.
This includes fine lines, deep wrinkles, crepey skin, sun damage, skin laxity, large pores, acne scars, irregular and uneven texture and tone. Some medications, lifestyles, and medical conditions may restrict or prohibit treatment. One of our skin care experts will determine if you are a candidate for microneedling by reviewing your health history and lifestyle with you.
For further skin tightening and enhanced production of collagen, radiofrequency microneedling or NeoGen Plasma may be more suitable.
CONSULTATION, PREPARATION & PROCEDURE
Before treatment you will have a microneedling consultation with skin care experts to determine if you are a candidate and the number of treatments needed for desired results. Microneedling is a 30 minute “lunch time” treatment with little to no social downtime.
At the time of your appointment, one of our skin care providers will cleanse the face and degrease it with alcohol pads. A topical numbing cream is applied then removed before beginning the treatment. During treatment, micro-needles on the handheld device penetrate the skin’s surface, creating thousands of tiny micro-channels. Most of our Newport Beach Microneedling patients report no pain during or after their skin rejuvenation treatment.
A Zimmer cooler is on hand if needed for additional comfort. Patients are advised not to wear makeup or sunscreen after treatment as the skin is very porous and this allows for the topical solution applied during treatment to penetrate more deeply into the dermis. Patients with a history of cold sores will be treated postoperatively with prescription medication.
The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the treatment area. Most patients benefit from three and up to six aesthetic treatments performed 4-6 weeks apart for optimal improvements in skin quality.

MICRONEEDLING RECOVERY
Following the session, you may experience mild redness and sensitivity for a few days, but most patients can resume their normal activities within 24-48 hours.
After your microneedling session, expect mild redness and potential swelling for up to 24 hours but recovery is generally quick and easy compared to invasive skin treatments. Keep the skin hydrated and avoid scrubbing or exfoliating for five days. Sunscreen should be worn during and after recovery, even when indoors.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Within a few days after your treatment the skin will have a beautiful glow and feel softer to the touch. Continue to hydrate your new supple skin with an HA product like CORE raindrops or b-quenched. Avoid retinols or harsh chemicals for 5-7 days. Optimal improvement is 30 days following your final treatment after fresh collagen forms and a youthful complexion is restored.
Of course, beautiful skin requires proper maintenance. To continue to see the benefits of your Microneedling treatments and stave off the appearance of wrinkles, limit sun exposure, protect your skin with a physical sunblock, like CORE made in the shade, use daily at home medical grade skincare products, and sign up to become a Beauty Bank member to get the lasting benefits of collagen stimulation all year long!
Each patient will receive an individualized treatment plan. Maintenance treatments are recommended to extend the longevity of your results in improved skin texture and tone.
