What is Microneedling?
When home skin products aren’t getting the job done, but surgery feels like a step too far, it’s time to consider microneedling, a minimally invasive skin rejuvenation treatment. We provide this collagen-inducing therapy in Thousand Oaks, CA, using fine needles to create micro-injuries that stimulate elastin and collagen production. Microneedling can reduce pores, scars, and stretch marks, especially when used with PRP, aiding in tissue repair and cell growth. Schedule a consultation at Sante | aesthetics & wellness to discover more about the benefits of microneedling and ways to customize your treatment for your needs and goals.
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

- Low-risk, nonsurgical procedure option
- Reduces appearance of scar tissue, dark spots, or stretch marks
- Balanced feel and appearance of skin
- Reduced aesthetic of wrinkles, fine lines, and age
Am I a Candidate for Microneedling?
You may benefit from microneedling if you have slight-to-moderate complexion problems, such as a decrease in elasticity or rough skin texture. Microneedling may also minimize the look of pores, scars, and stretch marks. You must be willing to wait before seeing the results of your treatment because the collagen and elastin will need time to have an effect on the complexion; however, you will develop results that look natural and gain better overall skin health.
How Is Microneedling Performed?
A microneedling treatment takes 30 – 60 minutes, with the comfort of local anesthesia or numbing cream; however, most patients feel mild or no discomfort. We first collect a blood sample for PRP, which is taken to our lab to extract the essential elements — your platelets, growth factors, and stem cells. The targeted skin is cleansed before gently working the microneedling device over the treatment area. We then apply the PRP or vitamin-infused serum to replenish your skin. After absorption, we wash, moisturize, and shield the treated area from harmful UV rays.
What Happens after Microneedling?
Following a microneedling procedure in our Thousand Oaks, CA spa, you might have mild redness and swelling for around one day, but this should subside quickly on its own. It may take around 1 – 2 months as the elastin and collagen supply increases until you notice significant improvements in the appearance and health of your skin. You should schedule around 4 – 6 maintenance sessions performed every 4 – 6 weeks for ideal outcomes and long-term skin health.
