Microneedling
Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to improve the texture and appearance of your skin. It involves the use of a device fitted with fine, sterile needles that create microchannels on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. The treatment is commonly used to address areas such as the face, neck, décolletage, and hands, targeting concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, including those left by previous breakouts. Many patients turn to microneedling for acne scars as it effectively reduces their appearance while enhancing skin texture. Additionally, it’s important to discuss microneedling side effects with your provider to understand the healing process and post-treatment care. Microneedling is a versatile treatment suitable for various skin tones, helping you achieve healthier, more vibrant skin naturally.
Microneedling is an ideal treatment for individuals looking to enhance their skin’s appearance without surgery or extensive downtime. It is particularly suitable for those with concerns about aging, marks, or uneven texture. Results are usually visible within a few weeks, as collagen production increases, and improvements can continue for several months. For those curious about the microneedling cost, prices vary depending on the area treated and the number of sessions required, making it a customizable option for your skincare goals. Results often last for several months, especially with proper skincare maintenance. To experience the benefits of microneedling, book your appointment with Nomi Medical Studio in Calabasas today.

FAQ
Who is a good candidate for microneedling?
Microneedling is suitable for most individuals looking to address common skin conditions such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, or uneven skin tone. Suitable for most skin types but may not be appropriate for those with skin infections, open wounds, or specific skin sensitivities. A consultation at Nomi Medical Studio can help determine if microneedling is right for you.
When will I see the results of microneedling?
Most patients notice initial improvements within two to four weeks after the first session, with continued enhancements over the next few months as collagen production ramps up. To achieve the best possible outcomes, it may be necessary to undergo multiple sessions.
How long do the results last from microneedling?
Microneedling results typically last several months, depending on your skin’s natural aging process and skincare routine. Regular maintenance treatments can prolong the benefits.
Is there any downtime or side effects from microneedling?
Microneedling has minimal downtime, with most individuals experiencing mild redness and sensitivity for 24-48 hours after treatment. Side effects are usually mild and temporary but may include slight swelling or dryness.
What should I do before and after the microneedling treatment?
Before treatment, avoid retinol, exfoliants, and sun exposure for several days. After the procedure, keep your skin hydrated, avoid sun exposure, and refrain from using harsh products until the skin fully heals. A detailed pre- and post-treatment plan will be provided during your consultation.
What can I expect during the microneedling treatment?
During a microneedling session, your practitioner will cleanse your skin and may use a numbing cream for added comfort. The microneedling device is then gently moved across the treatment area, creating microchannels. The process usually takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated.
