Revolutionizing Skin Care
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure offered at Luminous Medical Aesthetics in Woodland Hills, CA, designed to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin. This innovative treatment involves using a device equipped with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound-healing processes, resulting in increased collagen and elastin production.
The enhanced collagen production helps in reducing the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and scars, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin. Microneedling also improves skin texture and tone and can be effective in treating various skin concerns like acne scars, stretch marks, and enlarged pores. This safe and effective treatment is suitable for all skin types and offers a solution for those seeking a non-surgical approach to achieving a radiant, healthy complexion.
Enhanced Skin & Elasticity
What are the benefits of Microneedling?
Microneedling offers a plethora of benefits for anyone seeking a non-invasive yet effective approach to skin rejuvenation. Primarily, it stimulates collagen and elastin production, which are key to maintaining youthful, resilient skin. This increase in collagen helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and scars, giving the skin a smoother, more refined look. Microneedling also improves skin texture and tone, making it an excellent treatment for issues like acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven pigmentation.
Microneedling also enhances the skin's ability to absorb topical treatments, thereby increasing the efficacy of skincare products. It's a safe option for most skin types and offers results with minimal downtime compared to more invasive procedures. Overall, microneedling is a versatile treatment that addresses various skin concerns, leading to healthier, more vibrant, and rejuvenated skin.

Brighter, Firmer Skin
Your Microneedling Procedure
At Luminous Medical Aesthetics, your microneedling procedure is a carefully curated experience designed to rejuvenate and enhance your skin with precision and care. A topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure your comfort throughout the session. The microneedling device used at Luminous Medical Aesthetics is FDA-cleared for patient safety and equipped with fine, sterile needles.
Once fully numbed, your skin will be cleansed and sterilized. A special peptide serum infused with essential vitamins, nutrients, and a scientifically formulated botanical blend to help calm the skin and replenish moisture is applied to the skin. The microneedling pen is then gently moved across your skin. This process creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate natural collagen production, initiating the skin’s healing and rejuvenation process. The procedure typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. This treatment is safe for all skin types but is not recommended for patients with active acne or other facial infections/rashes. Please note that this treatment comes with 3-5 days of social downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions
After a microneedling treatment, initial results can often be seen once the initial redness and swelling subside, typically within a few days. However, the most significant results, particularly in terms of skin firmness and texture improvement, will become more apparent after several weeks as the skin produces more collagen. The full effects of the treatment are usually most noticeable after a series of sessions, commonly spaced about four to six weeks apart. The number of sessions needed can vary based on individual skin concerns and desired outcomes.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with very little downtime. Most people experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, for 24 to 48 hours after the treatment. There might also be minimal pinpoint bleeding and bruising. The skin may feel tight and sensitive to the touch during this time. It's important to follow specific aftercare instructions, like avoiding direct sun exposure and using recommended skincare products, to support the healing process and enhance the treatment results.
A topical anesthetic is applied before treatment. During the procedure, there is minimal discomfort with more of a vibrating sensation, rather than pain.
