Introduction to Microneedling

Also known as collagen induction therapy, microneedling is a popular, sought-after skincare solution performed at medspas all across the globe. Without injections, chemicals, or lasers, microneedling can restore a revitalized complexion, erasing common signs of aging, such as lines, wrinkles, volume loss, and mild skin laxity. By creating tiny micro-injuries, the treatment stimulates the body to produce more collagen, an indispensable protein responsible for skin suppleness, radiance, and resilience. At the Motykie Medical Spa in Beverly Hills and Hollywood, Los Angeles, we are excited to offer access to this cutting-edge aesthetic solution as part of our ongoing commitment to excellence and innovation.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling works by harnessing the body’s innate self-healing mechanisms to rejuvenate the skin’s tone and texture and replenish volume lost to the natural aging process. During treatment, a series of ultra-fine needles creates small punctures in the skin, triggering the body to produce more collagen, a skin-firming protein. In addition to boosting collagen production, microneedling creates tiny microchannels in the complexion, allowing the skin to better absorb topical serums and medical-grade products. Microneedling is ideal for addressing the following:

Wrinkles, lines, and creases
Acne scarring
Hyperpigmentation
Poor skin tone and texture
Enlarged pores
Sun damage
Stretch marks

Who Are the Best Candidates for Microneedling?

The best candidates for microneedling in Beverly Hills and Hollywood are healthy men and women who are seeking a minimally invasive yet highly effective skincare solution to erase signs of aging, imperfections, and blemishes. To ensure the treatment is safe and rewarding for you, our team will meet with you in LA for an introductory consultation and skin assessment. Please note that while microneedling is suitable for most of our patients, it should be avoided by those suffering from active skin infections, cold sores, acne breakouts, psoriasis, eczema, or keloid scarring.
