Microneedling in Marina del Rey

Revitalize Your Skin in Under 30 Minutes

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses ultra-fine needles to create microscopic punctures in the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, effectively ramping up collagen and elastin production and giving you more youthful-looking skin and scar reduction in Marina del Rey.

What Does Microneedling Help?

Because microneedling stimulates the body’s natural healing process, it erases a variety of skin imperfections — including the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Clear medical patients also notice an improvement in the texture and tone of their skin thanks to the increase in skin-tightening collagen.

Microneedling with the Eclipse Micropen™

The Eclipse MicroPen is a revolutionary cordless dermal micro-needling device used by luxury skincare professionals worldwide — and now available at Clear Medical. The Eclipse MicroPen in Marina del Rey creates superficial micro-injuries designed to improve skin condition upon re-epithelialization. A specially formulated and ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid gel is used during treatment to maximize results.

This modern approach to microneedling has several advantages over the last generation of anti-aging devices, including:

Less risk of infection with single-use, surgical-grade needle tips
Greater efficiency with the Turbo Safety Needle™
Efficient and reliable penetration from an adjustable-speed motor that ensures maximum comfort for all skin types thanks to the rapid needle motion and adjustable needle depth
Consistently superior results compared to lasers and dermal rollers

What to Expect During Microneedling Treatment in Marina del Rey

Before your microneedling procedure, Dr. Shawn will cleanse your skin and apply a numbing cream so you have the most comfortable experience possible.

During the treatment, Dr. Shawn uses a device with ultra-small needles that will be gently rolled or stamped over your skin to create tiny punctures. You may feel a slight prickling sensation, but this feeling is generally well-tolerated among Clear Medical patients.

After the procedure, your skin may be red and slightly swollen for a day or two, similar to a mild sunburn. Minor peeling and sensitivity might occur as your skin heals. Your post-treatment care instructions will include instructions for moisturizing and avoiding direct sun exposure.
