SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen microneedling is an advanced skin rejuvenation treatment that uses the body’s natural regenerative processes to refine the texture, appearance, and health of your skin.

As you age, your skin naturally loses its collagen, which is an essential protein for maintaining its elasticity and integrity. ⁽¹⁾ Without it, your skin can start to sag, develop wrinkles, or become dry. By undergoing SkinPen microneedling, you can combat each of these concerns and refresh your skin with ease.

Dr. Michael Omidi is a double board-certified plastic surgeon with several dedicated years of experience in his field. Dr. Omidi combines open communication, artistic expression, precise technical skills, and extensive anatomical knowledge to achieve the stunning results he has become known for. Through his approach, he has grown to become one of the highest-ranked plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills on RateMD.

About SkinPen Microneedling

SkinPen is the world’s first FDA-approved microneedling device. ⁽²⁾ It uses rows of fine needles to penetrate the skin’s surface, which then induces the stimulation of new collagen production in the area. ⁽³⁾ Through this process, you can target both superficial and underlying concerns with ease and efficacy.

Benefits

There are several benefits associated with undergoing SkinPen microneedling, including:

Candidates

You may be an ideal candidate for SkinPen microneedling if you are interested in rejuvenating the appearance and texture of your skin using minimally invasive approaches. This treatment is safe for all skin types and tones, making it an inclusive treatment for many. SkinPen microneedling is especially effective when addressing concerns such as pigmentation irregularities, stretch marks, acne scars, enlarged pores, and more.

To qualify, you should also be in good general health without active infections or breakouts in the targeted area. You should also maintain realistic expectations regarding your results. Dr. Omidi and his team will assess your candidacy during your consultation.

Personal Consultation

The first step to transforming your skin is attending a personal consultation with Dr. Omidi. During this meeting, he will review your medical history, including your current medication intake, skincare regimen, and any previous skin treatments you have undergone. He will discuss your concerns and goals. He will also assess your skin’s type and quality.

Dr. Omidi will use these details alongside your goals to create a treatment plan that meets each of your needs. He will determine what region of the face to treat and give you detailed preparation and aftercare instructions. He will also discuss how many treatment sessions you can expect to undergo. Through this comprehensive evaluation and thorough conversation, you can emerge feeling confident about your upcoming treatment and results.

Preparation

After you have scheduled your SkinPen treatment, Dr. Omidi will give you a set of detailed preparation instructions. They are fairly simple and typically include:

Procedure

On the day of your appointment, a member of Dr. Omidi’s team will lead you to a private treatment room. They will cleanse your skin and apply a topical anesthetic to enhance your comfort throughout the experience. Dr. Omidi will then take the SkinPen handpiece and pass it over the targeted treatment area. This device features rows of fine needles, and as it moves, it will create controlled punctures on your skin’s surface to stimulate the production of new collagen. Once uniformly treating the region, Dr. Omidi will apply an ointment or cream to help calm your skin.

Recovery

You may return to most of your daily activities immediately after your SkinPen microneedling treatment, as there is little to no downtime required. You may experience some swelling, redness, peeling, or flaking in the days after your appointment. These effects are temporary and will dissipate on their own, but you may also manage them by keeping your skin moisturized.

You should refrain from using makeup or skincare products in the treated area for 24 to 48 hours after your appointment. You should also avoid direct or unprotected sun exposure and wear plenty of sunscreen when leaving the house.

Dr. Omidi will provide you with a written set of instructions during your consultation. By following each one, you can ensure quick healing and the best possible results.

Results

You may notice some improvements immediately after your treatment, but your refined results will become more apparent as your collagen levels rise over time. This increased collagen can help your skin repair itself, leading to firmer, more elastic, and healthier skin. You will also be able to enjoy smoother, more even, and youthful-looking skin as your textural concerns, pigmentation irregularities, or visible signs of aging are softened and eliminated.

The results of SkinPen microneedling are long-lasting, with effects that you can enjoy for several years to come. However, most patients will need to undergo several treatment sessions before achieving their desired results.

Corresponding Procedures

Dr. Omidi can perform several treatments in conjunction with SkinPen microneedling to enhance your outcomes.

Botox

Botox is an injectable treatment that Dr. Omidi can administer to address visible signs of aging. This injectable is a neuromodulator, which means it inhibits the dynamic facial movements responsible for the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and creases. Dr. Omidi can administer it to several regions of the face, including your:

When Botox is paired with SkinPen microneedling, you can emerge with smoother, more youthful-looking skin. The Botox will smooth your skin out, while microneedling renews its appearance, health, and texture from the inside out, leaving you looking completely refreshed.

PRP and PRF

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are two solutions composed of your blood that can rejuvenate the health and appearance of your skin. Dr. Omidi can topically apply these solutions to your skin’s surface after your microneedling session so they penetrate deep within the pores.

PRP uses a higher concentration of platelets and releases growth factors in a shorter amount of time. When it is administered, it can stimulate new collagen production and promote tissue regeneration. This can help you address concerns such as:

On the other hand, PRF contains a higher concentration of platelets, fibrin, and white blood cells. It releases its growth factors more gradually and can regenerate tissue and enhance your skin’s structural stability. It is ideal if you are interested in reducing deeper wrinkles, hollowing, more advanced signs of aging, and hair loss.
