Microneedling in Redondo Beach: Effective Skin Renewal

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is an amazing minimally invasive procedure. It is safe and effective for all skin types. In our clinic, it is performed using the best-in-class devices, SkinPen and GlowPin. Noticeable results without a long recovery period. Controlled micro-punctures on the skin’s surface activate the skin’s natural regeneration mechanism, ensuring its firmness and youthfulness.

Microneedling promotes the production of new collagen, helping to even out skin texture, reduce pore size, smooth fine lines, and diminish pigmentation. At UpLifted, we prioritize beautiful, glowing skin above all else. That’s why during the microneedling procedure, we add our favorite skin-strengthening serums, such as PDO AfterGlo, LumEnvy, or PRF/PRP, for even more radiance and skin tightening. Based on your individual skin concerns, we will select the best treatment option for you.

How Does Microneedling Work?

During the Microneedling procedure, a special device with fine needles creates micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. When the skin receives these micro-damages, it triggers various cellular mechanisms aimed at tissue repair. Specifically, fibroblasts are activated – specialized cells responsible for synthesizing new collagen and elastin, which make the skin firm, smooth, and youthful. Increased collagen and elastin production significantly improves the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance over time.

New collagen helps make the skin firmer and smoother, reducing the visibility of fine lines, acne scars, and other imperfections. During the procedure, the needles penetrate the skin at a straight angle, creating tiny microchannels that allow cosmetic serums, boosters, or PRF to penetrate the skin more effectively, further enhancing the rejuvenation process. The skin’s natural healing properties make the microneedling procedure an excellent solution for those looking to improve their skin condition and achieve a more youthful and radiant appearance.

PRF or PRP

Platelet-rich fibrin, or PRF, is obtained from the patient’s own blood, which is processed to extract plasma. It has been proven that platelets, rich in bioactive substances and growth factors, promote tissue repair, cell growth, and collagen production. PRP treatment combined with microneedling is an effective solution for improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Platelet-rich plasma with microneedling is a revolutionary hair treatment that prevents hair loss and stimulates natural growth. Restore the fullness and vitality of your hair that you deserve.

The Microneedling Procedure

Patients often note that they feel mild discomfort during the procedure. The sensation is similar to a light touch of sandpaper on the skin. Our experienced specialists ensure a comfortable and effective Microneedling experience. Before starting, we use a local anesthetic for pain relief. Then, a device with tiny needles is used to gently puncture the skin in the treatment area, stimulating the natural healing and regeneration process.

Post-Procedure Care

There is no downtime after microneedling, and you can easily return to your daily activities. It’s important to avoid direct sun exposure, as well as to refrain from intense physical activities and makeup for at least the first 12 hours. To reduce the risk of bruising, stop taking ibuprofen, aspirin, and other blood-thinning medications 7 days before the procedure.

Duration of the Effect

Our patients notice an immediate glow. However, the visible results of microneedling are gradual, as the treatment relies on the natural collagen production process in your skin. It may take several microneedling sessions to achieve optimal skin rejuvenation results. Typically, a series of three to six sessions is recommended. Some may benefit from one or two sessions per year.

Side Effects and Safety

Immediately after the procedure, you may experience slight redness and swelling. This reaction usually subsides within 24 hours. Some patients may experience redness for up to 4 days. The overall healing time depends on the depth of the needles and your body’s response.
