All About Microneedling

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment. It involves using a specialized device equipped with ultra-fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin.

These tiny punctures trigger the body’s natural healing response, increasing collagen and elastin production. These proteins are essential for maintaining skin firmness, smoothness, and elasticity.

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can be customized to address a variety of skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Acne scars and other facial scarring
  • Enlarged pores
  • Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
  • Stretch marks and skin laxity

At Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Laguna Beach, we personalize each treatment to suit your specific skin needs, ensuring optimal results with minimal discomfort.

How Does Microneedling Work?

Microneedling uses a medical-grade device to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. This process has multiple benefits:

1. Stimulates Collagen and Elastin Production

When the skin is injured, the body automatically begins producing collagen and elastin to repair itself. This helps to smooth wrinkles, improve elasticity, and restore skin’s youthful texture.

2. Enhances Skin Renewal

Microneedling accelerates cellular turnover, which fades hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and sun damage, leading to a brighter, more even complexion.

3. Improves Product Absorption

The micro-channels created during treatment allow medical-grade serums, peptides, and growth factors to penetrate deeper into the skin, making them more effective.

4. Supports Long-Term Skin Health

With continued collagen stimulation, microneedling strengthens the skin barrier, improving overall resilience, hydration, and smoothness.

Unlike more aggressive treatments, microneedling does not remove layers of skin, making it a gentler option with minimal downtime.

Microneedling Treatment Areas

At Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Laguna Beach, microneedling is used to rejuvenate multiple areas of the body.

Face

Microneedling is highly effective for facial skin rejuvenation. It can:

  • Reduce acne scars and post-inflammatory pigmentation
  • Smooth fine lines and wrinkles
  • Tighten sagging skin
  • Brighten dull, uneven skin tone

Neck & Décolletage

The neck and chest are often exposed to the sun and show early signs of aging. Microneedling:

  • Restores elasticity in thinning skin
  • Fades sunspots and pigmentation
  • Smooths crepey texture

Hands

Aging hands often develop volume loss and sun damage. Microneedling:

  • Reduces age spots
  • Improves skin smoothness and firmness

Stretch Marks

Stretch marks appear due to rapid skin stretching from pregnancy or weight fluctuations. Microneedling helps by:

  • Encouraging collagen rebuilding
  • Improving texture and tone
  • Fading the appearance of stretch marks

Scars (Acne, Surgical, & Injury-Related)

Microneedling is highly effective at treating various types of scars by:

  • Breaking down scar tissue
  • Stimulating new skin cell growth
  • Softening and fading scars over time

Who Can Benefit from Microneedling?

Microneedling is suitable for most skin types and is ideal for individuals who want to:

  1. Enhance skin texture and tone
  2. Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  3. Improve acne scars and stretch marks
  4. Brighten hyperpigmentation and sun damage
  5. Increase skin elasticity and hydration

Because microneedling is customizable, it can be adjusted for sensitive skin, mature skin, or those new to professional treatments.

Who Should Avoid Microneedling?

Microneedling is not recommended for individuals who:

  1. Have active acne breakouts, infections, or open wounds
  2. Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  3. Take blood-thinning medications
  4. Have a history of keloid scarring
  5. Use certain acne medications, such as Accutane

During your consultation at Amy Berisha Aesthetics, we will assess your medical history and skin condition to determine whether microneedling is right for you.

The Microneedling Treatment Process at Amy Berisha Aesthetics, Laguna Beach

Bespoke Consultation

Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation where our expert practitioners will:

  1. Assess your skin concerns and medical history
  2. Discuss your beauty goals
  3. Develop a customized treatment plan

We will also provide pre-treatment instructions, such as avoiding retinoids and excessive sun exposure before your session.

Pre-Treatment Skin Prep

Before starting the procedure, we:

  1. Gently cleanse your skin to remove makeup, oil, and debris.
  2. Apply a topical numbing cream to ensure comfort throughout the treatment.

The numbing cream takes 20–30 minutes to take effect while your practitioner adjusts the microneedling device settings for your skin type and treatment area.

The Microneedling Procedure

Once the skin is numb, the microneedling device is gently glided across the skin. The procedure lasts between 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area treated. You may feel a mild tingling or vibrating sensation, but discomfort is minimal.

A customized serum or growth factor may be applied to enhance results.

Aftercare & Recovery

Immediately after treatment, the skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within 24 to 48 hours.

To optimize healing, we recommend:

  • Keeping skin hydrated with a soothing serum
  • Avoiding direct sun exposure and wearing SPF 30+
  • Skipping exfoliants, retinoids, and harsh skincare for 5 days
  • Avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours

Over the next few weeks, collagen production increases, revealing firmer, smoother, and more radiant skin. While some improvements are noticeable after one session, a series of 4–6 treatments is often recommended for maximum results.
