What Is Microneedling?
When over-the-counter skin products are no longer effective, but you aren't ready for surgery, consider nonsurgical procedures for skin rejuvenation, such as microneedling (collagen induction therapy). At Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, we are pleased to offer SkinPen® microneedling at our West Palmdale, Ridgecrest, and Tehachapi, CA practices. Microneedling uses several fine-gauge needles to safely and effectively make micro-injuries in the needed areas of the skin. The micro-injuries prompt the natural production of collagen and elastin, two nutrients that boost your complexion's overall health and appearance. Often combined with other treatments, like vitamin serums or PRP (platelet-rich plasma), microneedling can help minimize pores, stretch marks, and scars. Schedule an appointment for a consultation to discover more about the benefits of microneedling with SkinPen and ways to customize the treatment for your skin concerns and goals.
How Does Microneedling Work?
Microneedling is performed in a treatment room in about 30 – 60 minutes with local anesthesia or numbing cream if requested; however, patients generally report mild or no pain and discomfort. The skin being addressed will be cleaned before the handpiece is evenly passed over. Once the microneedling is done, PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or a serum with a vitamin infusion may be applied so the nutrients can penetrate deeper into the skin. A moisturizer selected for your skin type will be massaged in along with UV protection because your skin will be more sensitive after the treatment.
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?
At Sandhu Dermatology & Med Spa, we perform microneedling for our patients who would like a handful of benefits:
- Elevated smoothness and appearance of complexion
