For those looking to improve the appearance of their skin, microneedling is a safe, effective, and non-invasive treatment to restore and revitalize! Minimize the appearance of scarring, fine lines and wrinkles while boosting collagen production and cell regeneration using your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). Our Med Spa offers Microneedling in San Francisco which is packed with hundreds of growth factors, somatic cells, and cytokines known to stimulate cell repair and regeneration.
Based on the science of epidermal collagen induction therapy, microneedling uses very small needles to create micro-injuries to the skin.
These micro-injuries induce a wound-healing response, which stimulates fibroblast production in the dermal layer (boosting collagen and elastin). This induced wound-healing process is our body’s own natural cell regeneration in acceleration. With the Eclipse Micropen we’re able to create hundreds of micro-channels for optimal penetration of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP). microneedling is a great natural alternative to lasers and chemical peels with less downtime and discomfort.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) is the result of centrifuging (separating) blood to remove the red blood cells. What is left is a high concentrate of hundreds of naturally-occurring proteins called growth factors, somatic cells, and other cytokines. These growth factors are essential for overall cell health and function, including signaling cells to regenerate and repair tissues. Our Med Spa strives to deliver the best Microneedling San Francisco has to offer, so we pair Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) with Microneedling. It has the potential to repair and regenerate damaged skin to restore and maintain a more radiant and youthful-looking you.
We did our homework before investing in our microneedling device and training. Here are some of the reasons why we choose microneedling over medical-grade derma-roller devices.
Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can be applied to various areas of the body to address different skin concerns. The most common treatment areas include:

Microneedling results can vary depending on your skin type and the specific concerns being treated. Most patients see an improvement in their skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance within a few days of treatment. As collagen production increases, you’ll notice smoother, firmer skin and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, scars, and other imperfections. For best results, a series of treatments is often recommended, with full results becoming apparent a few weeks after the final session.
Recovery from microneedling is relatively quick and involves minimal downtime. Most patients experience mild redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation immediately after the treatment, which usually subsides within 24-48 hours. It’s essential to avoid direct sun exposure and wear a high-SPF sunscreen to protect your skin as it heals. You can typically resume your regular skincare routine within a few days, and makeup can be worn 24 hours after the procedure.
The cost of microneedling varies depending on the size of the area being treated and the number of sessions required. On average, prices range from $300 to $700 per session. During your consultation, we’ll provide a customized treatment plan and cost estimate based on your individual needs. Financing options may be available to help make your treatment more affordable.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during microneedling. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to ensure comfort. Some may feel slight pressure or a mild stinging sensation.
The number of sessions depends on your skin’s condition and your desired results. Typically, 3 to 6 sessions are recommended for optimal improvement.
There is little to no downtime with microneedling. You might experience redness and swelling for 1 to 2 days, but this usually resolves quickly.
Most people see noticeable improvements in skin texture and tone within a few days of treatment. Full results develop over several weeks as collagen production continues.
