Microneedling with SkinPen at Refine Anti-Aging

At Refine Anti-Aging, we offer microneedling with SkinPen to our Oakland, CA patients. SkinPen is a microneedling device that uses small needles to create minimal punctures in the skin. This encourages the body’s natural healing process, culminating in greater collagen and elastin production.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a skin treatment that uses fine needles to puncture the skin and stimulate collagen production.

The resulting collagen growth can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and other skin imperfections. Microneedling is also sometimes called collagen induction therapy.

The technology behind microneedling is based on the principle of injury-induced collagen production. When the skin is injured, it goes into repair mode and produces collagen to heal the wound. You can stimulate collagen production and achieve long-lasting results by repeatedly damaging the skin with microneedles.

Consultation and Preparation

During your consultation for SkinPen microneedling Oakland med spa specialist, we will assess your skin and determine if you are a good candidate for SkinPen microneedling. We will also discuss your goals for treatment and develop a customized treatment plan.

It is essential to cleanse the skin before treatment to remove any dirt, makeup, or other products that could interfere with the procedure. We will provide you with instructions on how to prepare for your treatment.

Procedure

SkinPen microneedling is a minimally-invasive procedure that can be performed in-office. First, a numbing agent will be applied to the treatment area to minimize discomfort. The SkinPen device will then create microscopic channels in the skin.

The length of the procedure will depend on the size of the treatment area. However, most treatments take 20-30 minutes.

Adding PRP to Your SkinPen Treatment

The benefits of your SkinPen microneedling treatment can be enhanced by the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP).

Using the channels created by microneedling, PRP can penetrate deep into your skin, improving a variety of skin conditions, such as acne scars, sun damage, wrinkles, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and scars from injuries such as cuts or burns, and leaving your skin glowing.

Microneedling Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

Most people experience some redness and swelling immediately after treatment, but this should resolve within a few hours. You may also experience some dryness, flaking, and peeling of the skin in the days following treatment.

It is important to avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen when outdoors to protect the skin while it heals. In addition, avoid using harsh skincare products, picking at the skin, or exposing the skin to extreme temperatures.

You should see an improvement in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and other blemishes within a few weeks of treatment. As collagen production increases, results will continue to improve over the next few months.

Most people need 4-6 treatments to achieve their desired results.

Patient Testimonials

"Off the bat, Dr. Vasanwala was so easy to talk to and very honest. She will give you her opinions on different procedures, tell you which she personally avoids performing and why, and by the end of your 1st visit, you will leave feeling really confident in her hands (and by your 2nd and 3rd, you're gonna looking and feeling so damn good). Happy to have found my go-to. Thanks doc!!!"

"Dr. Vasanwala is incredibly knowledgeable and truly consults with her patients. I've had Botox and filler elsewhere, but I've never had such a clear, thoughtful consult on the overall aesthetic look, the tradeoffs of different approaches, and the ideal combination of approaches to achieve the look I'm after in the short and long term."

"The refine office is a beautiful calming space, and Dr. Vasanwala put me at ease right away, her beautiful aesthetic translates into how she beautifys your face, and really explained to me the process of where she was injecting to achieve desired results."
