Microneedling Treatment in Sherman Oaks

Three Advanced Microneedling Options at BSN

At BSN Regenerative Institute, we’re committed to offering the most effective treatments available. That’s why we provide three distinct microneedling approaches, each tailored to address different skin concerns:

RF Microneedling with Morpheus 8®

For patients seeking more dramatic results, particularly for skin tightening and deeper wrinkles, we offer radiofrequency microneedling with the advanced Morpheus 8® system. This revolutionary technology combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy for a dual-action treatment.

As the microneedling device creates those tiny holes in your skin, it simultaneously delivers radiofrequency waves into the deeper layers of tissue. This controlled heat energy further stimulates collagen and elastin production while also contracting existing tissues for an immediate tightening effect.

RF microneedling treatments are especially effective for:

• Moderate to severe skin laxity
• Deeper wrinkles and lines
• Acne scarring that hasn’t responded to other treatments
• More significant textural concerns

Many of our Sherman Oaks patients who were considering more invasive procedures have been thrilled with the results they’ve achieved with RF microneedling instead.

What Skin Concerns Can Microneedling Treat?

One of the reasons our Sherman Oaks patients love microneedling is its versatility. This single treatment can address multiple skin concerns simultaneously:

• Acne scars and surgical scars – By breaking up scar tissue and stimulating new collagen, microneedling can significantly improve the appearance of various types of scarring
• Fine lines and wrinkles – The boost in collagen and elastin helps smooth out these early signs of aging
• Enlarged pores – As skin thickens and tightens with new collagen, pore size often appears reduced
• Uneven skin tone – Microneedling helps normalize pigmentation for a more uniform appearance
• Stretch marks – While challenging to treat, stretch marks often show improvement with a series of treatments
• Skin laxity – Particularly with RF microneedling, patients notice firmer, tighter-looking skin
• Dull complexion – The cellular turnover triggered by microneedling reveals fresher, more radiant skin

Microneedling is also one of the few cosmetic treatments that works well across all skin types, including darker skin tones that might not be suitable candidates for certain laser treatments.

The Microneedling Experience at BSN Regenerative Institute

1. Consultation and preparation – We’ll discuss your skin concerns, review your medical history, and develop a personalized treatment plan. We’ll also provide pre-treatment instructions to help you prepare.
2. Day of treatment – When you arrive, your healthcare provider cleans the treatment area and applies a numbing cream to ensure minimal discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation during treatment as a mild vibration or slight prickling—nothing too uncomfortable.
3. The procedure – Depending on the areas being treated and the specific approach (standard, RF, or PRP), your treatment will typically take between 30-60 minutes. We use only sterilized needles and follow strict protocols to ensure your safety.
4. Post-treatment care – Your skin might look slightly flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, with possible mild swelling in certain areas. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions, which typically include:
   • Keeping the treated area clean
   • Avoiding makeup for 24 hours
   • Applying recommended serums or moisturizers
   • Using sun protection diligently (critical after microneedling!)
   • Avoiding harsh skin care products for a few days
5. Recovery timeline – Most patients experience redness for 1-3 days, with some experiencing mild flaking as the skin heals. Unlike more aggressive treatments, microneedling allows you to return to most normal activities immediately, with just a few temporary limitations.

Realistic Results: What to Expect From Your Microneedling Treatments

While microneedling can deliver impressive improvements, we believe in setting realistic expectations for our patients. Here’s what you can typically expect:

• Immediate effects – A fresh, glowing appearance once initial redness subsides (usually within a few days)
• Quick results – Noticeable improvement in skin texture and tone within 2-4 weeks after a single treatment
• Progressive enhancement – Continued improvement as your body produces more collagen over the following months
• Long-term benefits – With a full series of treatments, results that can last a year or longer, especially with periodic maintenance

The most dramatic results are usually visible about 3-6 months after completing your full treatment series, as this gives your body ample time to produce new collagen and elastin. Many patients choose to have maintenance treatments every 6-12 months to preserve and enhance their results.

Is Microneedling Right for You?

While microneedling is suitable for many people, it may be particularly ideal if:

• You’re bothered by early signs of aging, acne scarring, or uneven skin texture
• You prefer treatments with minimal downtime
• You’re looking for gradual, natural-looking improvement
• You want to address multiple skin concerns with a single treatment approach
• You have darker skin that may not be suitable for certain laser treatments

Certain conditions may mean microneedling isn’t your best option, including active skin infections, certain skin conditions like psoriasis or eczema, a history of keloid scarring, or active acne breakouts. During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly assess whether microneedling is appropriate for your specific situation.

A Note From Dr. Bobby

“I’ve got to tell you – there’s nothing that gets me more excited than seeing a patient’s face light up at their microneedling results. After performing hundreds of these treatments, I’m still amazed at how something so minimally invasive can make such a profound difference in someone’s confidence. What really gets me is when patients with acne scarring come back for their follow-up and they’re literally standing taller! Many tell me they’ve tried “everything under the sun” before finding success with our approach. It’s honestly why I get up in the morning. And here’s something cool I’ve noticed – patients start by obsessing over one specific “problem area,” but by their third session, they’re gushing about their overall skin quality and asking what else we can do together. That journey from focused concern to overall skin health is what makes this work so incredibly rewarding for me and my team here in Sherman Oaks.”
