What Is Microneedling?
If you're seeking an alternative to over-the-counter skin care products and surgical procedures for skin rejuvenation, Starr MedSpa in Westlake Village and Studio City, CA invites you to consider microneedling, a minimally invasive option also known as collagen induction therapy. This effective procedure utilizes fine-gauge needles to create micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating the natural production of collagen and elastin by up to 300% after just three treatments. These critical nutrients significantly enhance the complexion's appearance and health, making microneedling a powerful tool against pores, scars, stretch marks, fine lines, and wrinkles. Additionally, microneedling can be combined with other treatments, such as serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), for even more personalized skin care solutions. Clinically proven to correct acne scars and safe for all skin types, this treatment offers noticeable results with little to no downtime. Schedule a consultation at Starr MedSpa to explore how microneedling can be customized to meet your specific skin concerns and goals, providing a natural path to a more youthful, radiant complexion.
What Is Our Microneedling Technique?
Collagen induction therapy with microneedling is done in one of our office procedure rooms in around 60 minutes with local anesthesia or numbing cream if desired; however, patients typically experience mild or no discomfort. The areas of skin being treated will be cleaned before the microneedling handpiece is passed evenly over. Once the microneedling is done, a topical treatment, such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), may be added to your treatment so the nutrients can penetrate deeper into the skin. A moisturizer selected for your skin type will be massaged in along with UV protection because your skin will be sensitive following the procedure.
Frequency of treatment: every 4 – 6 weeks
What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

- Minimized look of wrinkles, fine lines, and signs of aging
- Minimization of scar tissue, uneven pigmentation, or stretch marks
- Low-risk, minimally invasive treatment selection
- Improved smoothness and appearance of complexion

Microneedling FAQ
Is microneedling safe for everyone?
In general, microneedling is safe for all skin tones and types. Skin injuries created by microneedling are so minor there are very few side effects after the treatment. Microneedling can be performed on most areas of skin, including the arms, face, neck, chest, thighs, and calves. Microneedling isn't recommended if you've been on Accutane in the last few months, plus if you have an active skin infection, herpes simplex, or open wound. Additionally, you might not be able to get microneedling if you're pregnant, nursing, or undergoing radiation therapy.
Can I combine other treatments with microneedling?
During the microneedling process, channels are made that make it easier for treatments to penetrate the lower layers. That's why microneedling is commonly done with other treatments. During your initial consultation, our team can explain which treatments may be performed along with microneedling and which would most benefit your skin.
What exactly is microneedling?
Collagen induction therapy, or microneedling, is a minimally invasive procedure to rejuvenate your skin. A natural fibrous protein, collagen helps keep your skin smooth, supple, and firm. Over time, your collagen stores are depleted, and your skin becomes thin and loses elasticity. Microneedling causes tiny wounds in your skin. These micro-injuries cause your skin to increase its collagen production and generate new skin cell growth. After a short recovery period, your complexion appears healthier, firmer, and brighter.
