What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) uses a device with fine, sterile needles to create thousands of micro-channels in the skin's surface. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the skin's natural repair response — stimulating the production of new collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid in the dermis.

The result? Smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin over the course of 4–6 weeks as the new collagen matures. Unlike lasers, microneedling creates no heat and is safe for all skin tones and types, making it one of the most universally effective skin rejuvenation treatments available.

Your skin's own healing ability is its most powerful renewal tool. Microneedling at Elevate Aesthetics in Glendale, CA uses SkinPen — the FDA-cleared, #1 microneedling device in the U.S. — to trigger your body's natural collagen production, delivering smoother texture, reduced scarring, and more radiant skin with minimal downtime.

Whether you're targeting acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, or uneven skin tone, our medical-grade microneedling treatments are customized to your specific skin concerns and performed by trained aestheticians under physician supervision.

How SkinPen Microneedling Works

SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the U.S. It features a sterile, single-use cartridge system with 14 ultra-fine needles, an adjustable depth of 0.1–2.5mm, and a consistent vertical needling motion that minimizes epidermal damage. Unlike cheaper devices that drag needles across the skin, SkinPen's precision results in less trauma, faster healing, and more predictable outcomes.

Why SkinPen?

Microneedling vs. Laser Resurfacing

Laser resurfacing uses heat energy to resurface the skin, which is highly effective but requires longer downtime and carries a risk of hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones. Microneedling uses only mechanical stimulation — no heat — making it safer across all skin tones with minimal downtime. Many patients combine both modalities across a treatment series.

What Can Microneedling Treat?

Acne Scars

Microneedling is one of the most evidence-backed treatments for atrophic acne scars (rolling scars, boxcar scars, ice pick scars). By triggering new collagen in the scar tissue, microneedling gradually fills and levels depressed scarring over 3–6 sessions.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Collagen induction therapy stimulates the production of new dermal collagen, improving fine lines around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. For patients not ready for injectables, microneedling offers meaningful anti-aging results with no neurotoxin.

Enlarged Pores & Rough Texture

Stimulating collagen in the dermis causes a mild tightening effect that visibly reduces pore size and smooths uneven skin texture over a series of treatments.

Hyperpigmentation & Uneven Skin Tone

By promoting skin cell turnover and new collagen, microneedling gradually lightens dark spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), and melasma — especially when combined with a brightening serum or PRF.

Stretch Marks

Microneedling can significantly improve the appearance of stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and other areas by stimulating collagen remodeling in the stretched skin tissue.

Your Microneedling Treatment at Elevate Aesthetics

Boost collagen, improve texture, and reveal smoother, healthier-looking skin with personalized microneedling treatments tailored to your skin goals.

Session Duration

A full-face microneedling session takes approximately 60–75 minutes, including 30 minutes of topical numbing pre-treatment.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

For general skin rejuvenation (texture, glow, fine lines), 3 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart is a standard starting series. For moderate acne scarring, 4–6 sessions is typical. Severe scarring may require 6–8+ sessions. Results continue to improve for 3–6 months after completing a series as new collagen matures.

Microneedling + PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin)

For enhanced results, we offer microneedling combined with PRF — your own growth-factor-rich plasma drawn from a small blood sample and applied topically during the microneedling treatment. PRF accelerates healing and amplifies collagen stimulation, producing faster and more dramatic results than microneedling alone. Highly recommended for acne scarring patients.

Microneedling FAQs — Glendale, CA

Answers to common questions about our treatment.

Is microneedling painful?

Most patients report minimal discomfort. We apply a medical-grade topical numbing cream 30 minutes before treatment, which makes the procedure very tolerable. You may feel a mild vibrating sensation and slight pressure as the SkinPen moves across your skin, but it is not typically described as painful.
