Most clients see optimal results after 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
Our skin undergoes many changes over time. We get older, we spend time in the sun, or we experience environmental stressors. All of these things combined lead to lines, wrinkles, and uneven texture or scarring.
How can we combat these skin concerns? With microneedling.
The Amy Berisha Aesthetics clinic in Newport Beach offers microneedling treatments that are non-invasive and help to stimulate collagen production in our skin. This helps to boost the texture, tone, and elasticity of our skin over time.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that stimulates skin renewal and improve texture, tone, and elasticity. It involves the use of a specialized device equipped with ultra-fine needles that create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface.
These tiny punctures activate the body’s natural wound-healing response, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. These essential proteins support skin structure, reduce fine lines, and enhance firmness, resulting in a fresher, smoother, and more radiant complexion.
Microneedling is easy to customize to suit your individual beauty goals. It can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, and body to address a wide range of skin concerns.
Microneedling takes advantage of the skin’s natural ability to repair itself. Here’s how it works:
Using a microneedling device, sterile, fine needles penetrate the skin’s outer layer, creating thousands of micro-channels. These controlled punctures are not deep enough to cause lasting damage but are sufficient to stimulate healing responses.
When the skin is injured, the body responds by producing more collagen and elastin. This leads to:
-Smoother skin texture
-Reduced fine lines and wrinkles
-Increased firmness and elasticity
-Improved overall skin tone
The micro-channels created during microneedling allow medical-grade serums, peptides, and growth factors to penetrate deeper into the skin. This helps to make them much more effective.
The regeneration process leads to healthier, more even skin. This reduces the appearance of scars, hyperpigmentation, and enlarged pores.
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, microneedling does not remove layers of skin. This makes it a safer, more versatile option with minimal downtime.
Our clients at Amy Berisha Aesthetics in Newport Beach choose microneedling treatments to help address a range of aesthetic concerns. We can perform microneedling on the:

3.) Are pregnant or breastfeeding

5.) Use certain acne medications, such as Accutane
During your consultation, an Amy Berisha Aesthetics practitioner will assess your skin condition and medical history to determine if microneedling is the right option for you.
At Amy Berisha Aesthetics, we take a step-by-step approach to ensure your microneedling treatment is safe and comfortable and delivers the best results.
Your treatment begins with a comprehensive consultation where we assess your skin concerns, goals, and medical history to determine if microneedling is right for you.
We’ll discuss your desired results, create a customized treatment plan, and provide pre-treatment instructions, such as avoiding retinoids and sun exposure before your session.
Before starting the procedure, we thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove makeup, dirt, and oils. A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure you stay comfortable throughout the treatment. This takes about 20–30 minutes to take full effect. Meanwhile, your practitioner adjusts the microneedling device settings based on your skin type and treatment goals.
Once the skin is numb, the microneedling device is gently glided across the treatment area, creating micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production.
The procedure takes 30 to 60 minutes. This can vary depending on the area being treated. You may feel a mild tingling or vibrating sensation, but discomfort is minimal.
Immediately after treatment, your skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. This subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Your practitioner will provide post-care instructions, including:
-Keep skin hydrated with a gentle, soothing serum
– Avoid direct sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+
– Skip retinoids, exfoliants, and harsh skincare products for at least 5 days
– Avoid makeup for 24 hours to allow healing
Over the next few weeks, collagen production increases, revealing smoother, firmer, and more even skin. While some results are visible after one session, a series of 4–6 treatments is often recommended for optimal benefits.
Microneedling is a great way to achieve smoother, firmer, and healthier skin. At Amy Berisha Aesthetics, we provide customized microneedling treatments to help you reach your skincare goals.
Most clients see optimal results after 4-6 sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
You may notice an improvement within a few weeks, with continued enhancement over time.
Yes! Microneedling pairs well with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and medical-grade facials.
Microneedling significantly improves fine lines and mild wrinkles but may be combined with other treatments for deeper wrinkles.
Yes, microneedling is safe for sensitive skin when performed by a trained professional. The treatment can be adjusted to a gentler setting to accommodate delicate skin types. During your consultation, our practitioners will assess your skin’s tolerance and ensure the treatment is performed at the appropriate intensity to avoid excessive irritation.
Yes! Microneedling tightens and refines pores by stimulating collagen production around them. As the skin becomes firmer and smoother, the appearance of large pores is significantly reduced. This makes microneedling an excellent treatment for those concerned with visible pores and uneven skin texture.
The results of microneedling are long-lasting, but they are not permanent. Most clients see improvements for several months, with optimal results maintained through regular sessions every 3 to 6 months. A good skincare regimen and sun protection help extend the benefits.
Yes, microneedling is safe for all skin tones, including darker complexions. Unlike some laser treatments, microneedling does not use heat-based energy, which means there is no risk of hyperpigmentation or uneven skin lightening. It is a highly effective treatment for individuals with melanin-rich skin looking to improve texture, tone, and scarring.
After a microneedling session, it is important to avoid:
-Direct sun exposure for at least a week (always wear SPF).
– Harsh skincare products like retinoids, exfoliants, and alcohol-based toners for at least 5 days.
– Intense workouts and sweating for 24-48 hours to prevent irritation.
-Makeup application for 24 hours to allow the skin to heal properly.
– Picking or scratching the skin, as this can interfere with the healing process.
Yes! Many clients choose to combine microneedling with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) for enhanced skin rejuvenation. This treatment, often referred to as a Vampire Facial, involves applying PRP (derived from your own blood) to the skin after microneedling. PRP contains growth factors that accelerate healing, boost collagen production, and maximize results. This combination treatment is ideal for those looking for deeper skin repair and regeneration.
