What is microneedling?
Microneedling, also called collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses a device with fine, sterile needles to make tiny, controlled channels in the skin. Your body answers each one by making new collagen and elastin, the proteins that keep skin smooth and firm. Over a series of visits that softens acne scars, fine lines, large pores and uneven texture. Because it works mechanically rather than with heat or light, it suits all skin types and tones, including darker skin.
Numbing cream goes on 20 to 30 minutes before we start, so most people feel only a light prickle. Expect redness like a moderate sunburn for 24 to 72 hours, and plan on one to two days before you head back to work. Most plans run three to six sessions, four to six weeks apart. At Dr Refresh in West Hollywood, pricing is set at your free consultation, based on your skin and the number of sessions you need.

Microneedling questions, answered.
How does microneedling work?
A device with fine, sterile needles makes tiny, controlled channels in the skin. Your body treats them as small injuries and responds by making new collagen and elastin, which smooths texture, softens lines and firms the skin over time. The channels also help serums absorb more deeply.
How much does microneedling cost in West Hollywood?
Pricing at Dr Refresh depends on your skin, the areas treated and how many sessions you need, and whether you add a serum. It is set at your free consultation, so you see the full plan total before you start. Treat-now, pay-later financing is available.
What is the downtime after microneedling?
Expect redness similar to a moderate sunburn for 24 to 72 hours, with some tightness and light peeling. Most people are comfortable going back to work within one to two days.
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
Most patients do three to six sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart. Milder concerns may improve in three; deeper scars can need six or more.
Does microneedling hurt?
Numbing cream goes on 20 to 30 minutes before treatment. Most people describe a mild vibrating or prickling feeling that is easy to tolerate.
When will I see microneedling results?
Many people notice smoother, brighter skin within one to two weeks. The biggest change develops over two to three months as new collagen matures.
How long do microneedling results last?
Results typically last six months to a year or longer. One or two maintenance sessions a year help keep them.
Who is a good candidate for microneedling?
Most healthy adults who want smoother texture, softer scars or more collagen. It is one of the safest resurfacing options for all skin tones, including darker skin, because it works mechanically and does not target pigment. Your provider checks for active acne, infection and other health factors at consult.
Can microneedling help with acne scars?
Yes. It is one of the most effective treatments for acne scars, especially rolling and boxcar scars. Scars improve gradually over a full series.
How does microneedling compare to Morpheus8?
Classic needling uses needles alone and is gentle on texture, pores and scars. Morpheus8 adds radiofrequency heat through the needles for more tightening and deeper remodeling, usually in fewer sessions. Many patients start with one and add the other later.
How does microneedling compare to laser resurfacing?
It builds collagen through tiny mechanical channels rather than heat, which makes it safer for darker skin tones. Recovery is generally shorter than aggressive laser resurfacing.
How do I prepare for microneedling, and what is the aftercare?
Stop retinoids, exfoliating acids and blood-thinning supplements five to seven days before, and avoid long sun exposure for one to two weeks. Afterward, keep skin clean and moisturized, wear SPF 30 or higher every day, and skip retinoids, vitamin C and exfoliants for 48 to 72 hours.

Important safety information
Microneedling is performed by licensed medical providers overseen by Dr. Fisher, MD, our Medical Director. Temporary effects include redness, mild swelling, tightness and light peeling that usually settle within a few days. Rarely, infection, scarring or changes in skin color can occur, most often in darker skin, which is why sterile technique and proper prep matter.
Not everyone is a candidate. Your provider decides suitability at consultation based on your skin, active breakouts or infections, medications and medical history. Results vary and no outcome is guaranteed. This page is not medical advice.
