Microneedling Treatment in Northridge, CA

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that harnesses the body’s natural healing processes. Utilizing a specialized device, such as the FDA-approved Rejuvapen at Raw Beauty Medical Spa, this treatment creates tiny, controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries act as a catalyst for producing collagen and elastin, essential proteins responsible for maintaining skin structure, firmness, and elasticity.

How Does Microneedling Work?

A Microneedling session is a carefully orchestrated process at Raw Beauty Medical Spa. The Rejuvapen, a state-of-the-art microneedling device, is skillfully maneuvered over the treatment area. This creates micro-channels in the skin, prompting a cascade of responses that stimulate new tissue regeneration and enhance skincare product absorption. The increased production of collagen and elastin results in a more even skin texture, reducing the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Conditions Improved by Microneedling:

Microneedling is a versatile and effective treatment for various skin concerns, including:

• Acne scarring
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Sagging skin
• Enlarged pores
• Dull skin tone

The collagen-boosting effects of Microneedling lead to tighter, firmer skin, diminishing the signs of aging and enhancing overall skin quality.

What Happens During a Microneedling Session?

Your Microneedling session at Raw Beauty Medical Spa is a comprehensive experience lasting one to two hours, depending on additional procedures combined.

Before the treatment begins, a numbing cream is applied to ensure your comfort throughout the session. The Rejuvapen is then meticulously moved over the treatment area, creating microchannels in the skin. While slight bleeding may occur, it is a normal part of the process.

After the Microneedling session, complementary peels, serums, or masks are applied to maximize the benefits. A soothing product may be used to aid the healing process.

Post-Treatment Care and Recovery

Following your Microneedling session, you may experience temporary redness or pinkness, a natural reaction to the micro-wounds created during the procedure. This typically subsides within a few days, and makeup can be applied to conceal any redness. Protecting your healing skin by wearing sunscreen and avoiding activities that may increase the risk of infection is crucial.

The skin sensitivity post-treatment is manageable, allowing you to resume your regular skincare routine within a day or two. While individual results may vary, many patients notice smoother, firmer skin within a week of their Microneedling session.

Who’s a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

Microneedling is an excellent option for individuals seeking to address common skin concerns. However, it is not recommended for those with a history of keloids or excessive scarring. Pregnant individuals should avoid microneedling and consultation with a medical practitioner is advised for those with psoriasis, eczema, or open wounds.
