What is microneedling?

As we mature, that natural supply of collagen starts to dwindle. Our skin loses its suppleness, moisture and lovely glow, and starts to look dull and depleted. Microneedling is one of the best ways to reverse this loss of collagen. It not only helps to reduce wrinkles, but also minimizes scarring, stretch marks and hyperpigmentation. During the procedure, tiny needles perforate the pores, causing the body to produce a wound-healing response that jumpstarts collagen production. Microneedling is an excellent treatment for all skin types. A PERK provider can explain more about microneedling during your private Beverly Hills consultation.

Is there any recovery or downtime associated with microneedling? 

The downtime for your microneedling treatment will depend on the depth of the needles, which can be customized to your cosmetic goals, and on the severity of your complexion concerns. Most clients will experience some minor redness and tenderness that is akin to a sunburn. 

How fast will I see my results?

Your skin will appear healthier immediately, but dermal collagen remodeling is something that happens gradually, so your skin’s total damage will slowly diminish over time.

Our providers suggest at least 4 microneedling sessions spaced around 6 weeks apart for best results. Changes will be most evident at about 3 months after your initial appointment.
