Microneedling in Glendale
Microneedling with SkinPen creates thousands of micro channels that prompt the skin’s repair response, rebuilding collagen and elastin from within. Improvement in texture, pore size, and shallow scarring builds over a series of sessions.
Treatment areas Face, neck, scalp, arms, hands, legs, thighs, hips, buttocks, and abdomen
- Benefits
-
- Works by stimulating your own collagen production
- Softens fine lines, acne scarring, and enlarged pores
- Works on the body as well as the face
- Pairs with PRP, exosomes, or Rejuran to push the repair response further
- Katherine’s approach
-
Katherine runs every microneedling treatment with an add-on serum: PRP spun from your own blood, exosomes, or Rejuran. The serum is applied while the micro channels are open, which is what lets it absorb.
Skin texture has more than one cause, so the consultation comes first. Surface-level dullness may point to a chemical peel instead, or a sequence of both.
- Who it’s for
-
It fits anyone working on texture: fine lines, post-acne scarring, rough or dull skin, and stretch-marked areas on the body. It suits patients who prefer gradual, cumulative change from their own biology.
- The process
-
Skin is numbed with a topical cream, then the SkinPen passes over the area while the chosen serum is applied. Plan on 30 to 60 minutes based on how much area you are treating. If PRP is your add-on, a quick blood draw happens first, spun in the centrifuge while you numb.
A series of 3 to 6 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart is typical, with maintenance a few times a year after.
- Downtime
-
Skin runs pink and sensitive for 24 to 72 hours, sometimes with light flaking as it renews. Skip makeup, sweat, and sun for the first 2 days, then keep skincare gentle until cleared to resume actives.
What it costs
Packages of three run $1,900 to $2,100 depending on the add-on. View the full price list
Common questions
PRP concentrates growth factors from a draw of your own blood. Exosomes are cell messengers made in a lab, used to support repair. Rejuran uses polynucleotides to support the skin as it heals. Katherine matches the add-on to your skin at the consultation.
Numbing cream goes on first, so most people feel a light prickling or scratching. Sensitive zones like the forehead feel more, though most people get through it comfortably.
Some early brightness shows within days. Texture changes develop over the following weeks, with the strongest results after the series completes.
Avoid sun exposure, retinol, exfoliants, and active skincare for 2 to 3 days before your session. Come in with clean skin, free of makeup. If you are doing PRP, eat beforehand and come well hydrated.
