Sherman Oaks
Microneedling

Look and feel younger with our Sherman Oaks microneedling treatment

Lovely skin is youthful, soft, supple, and glowing. However, our skin tends to lose essential substances like collagen and elastin as we grow older, thereby leaving us with acne, freckles, fine lines, wrinkles, and sunspots.

With a loosened and dull skin, you’re left with an aged appearance. It even becomes difficult to achieve a luminous complexion.

What is microneedling?

Microneedling, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy, is a minimally invasive treatment that uses very fine needles to stimulate your skin’s healing response by boosting the production of collagen and elastin.

We at Dermix Med Spa offer Collagen Induction Therapy (microneedling) to help patients progressively improve their skin tone, color, and texture. It is a professional skin-rejuvenating treatment that works to minimize the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and wrinkles while reducing pores. You can, therefore, achieve youthful, soft, and glowing skin with minimal downtime.

During your Microneedling Sherman Oaks treatment session, our physician uses the Eclipse MicroPen to create precise microscopic punctures on the skin surface to allow for controlled stimulation of your skin’s self-repair process. The micro-injuries formed on your skin usually trigger the production of collagen and elastin without causing scar tissue formation.

Who is the ideal candidate for collagen induction therapy (microneedling)?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive, safe, and heat-free treatment that can successfully be used on both dark and light skin types.

The technique can be used to treat wrinkles, roughness, acne scars, fine lines, sluggish skin, stretch marks, enlarged pores, or trauma scars. Anyone looking to diminish the appearance of any of these conditions would benefit from micro-needling.

The benefits of this treatment often include improved skin tone, color, and texture, and achieving softer, glowing skin with minimal signs of aging.

Your micro-needling procedure

Most patients who come for our microneedling Sherman Oaks treatment find the procedure very tolerable. The first thing our doctors and physicians do when you arrive for consultation is to analyze your skin and seek to understand your skincare objectives. We then recommend a personal skincare regimen to help improve your skin tone, color, and texture.

When it comes to treatment, a mildly numbing gel will be applied to your skin surface to help minimize discomfort. You’ll feel the gentle movement of the Eclipse MicroPen on your skin and may seem like a sandpaper sensation.

For best results, we at Dermix Med Spa do recommend 3 to 4 treatment sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. These routine treatments will help you achieve the desired outcome. Patients with severe skin-care concerns may need more sessions.

What kind of results should I expect?

As mentioned, microneedling is a fully personalized treatment, and individual results may vary.

During your micro needling Sherman Oaks consultation, our team will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that works.

You will notice an immediate glow and some changes in your skin after the first treatment. However, visible changes in skin tone and texture will develop after a couple of weeks and even months.

Following the procedure, you may experience swelling, irritation, and redness around the treated area for 3 to 5 days.
