Microneedling in Culver City, CA
At Rewind Aesthetics, microneedling is a core service for achieving naturally refreshed and luminous skin. This minimally invasive treatment is designed to harness your body's own healing processes to rejuvenate your complexion from the inside out. By stimulating collagen production, we can effectively address a range of common skin concerns and reveal a smoother, more radiant appearance.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a cosmetic procedure that involves creating thousands of microscopic channels in the skin using a specialized device with fine needles. This process triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin. The result is a structural and cosmetic improvement in the skin's texture and firmness.
Your Treatment Experience
Our microneedling treatments at Rewind Aesthetics are customized to your specific skin goals. The procedure is performed in a comfortable setting by one of our trained specialists. We may recommend adding Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) to enhance your results, targeting concerns with greater precision and promoting optimal healing.
Consultation and Treatment Preparation
Your Initial Skin Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation where our provider will assess your skin, review your medical history, and discuss your aesthetic goals. This step ensures that microneedling is the right choice for you and allows us to create a personalized treatment plan designed to deliver the results you desire.
How to Prepare for Your Session
To ensure the best possible outcome, we will provide you with specific pre-treatment instructions. This typically includes avoiding certain topical products, direct sun exposure, and medications that can increase skin sensitivity. Following these guidelines helps prepare your skin for a safe and effective treatment.
Discussing Treatment Add-Ons
In your consultation, we will determine if your results could be enhanced by adding Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF). We’ll explain how PRF uses your body’s own growth factors for superior healing helping you decide if these additions align with your specific skin goals.
The Microneedling Procedure Steps
During Your Appointment
The treatment process is straightforward and typically takes about an hour. We begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin to remove any impurities. Your comfort is our priority throughout the session.
Applying Topical Anesthetic
To ensure a comfortable experience, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area approximately 30-45 minutes before the procedure begins. This minimizes any potential discomfort from the microneedles. Once your skin is numb, the cream is removed.
The Collagen Induction Process
Using a sterile, single-use needle cartridge, your provider will gently glide the microneedling device across your skin. The device creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your skin's natural healing cascade. The depth of the needles is adjusted based on your specific skin concerns and the area being treated.
Post-Treatment Application
Immediately following the procedure, a calming serum or PRF may be applied to your skin. The micro-channels created by the treatment allow for enhanced absorption of these beneficial topicals, further supporting the rejuvenation process.

Book NowAftercare and Downtime
Following your treatment, your skin will appear pink or red, similar to a mild sunburn, for 24-48 hours. We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help soothe your skin and protect it as it heals. Most patients can resume normal activities the following day.
When to Expect Your Results
You may notice an initial glow shortly after treatment, but the most significant results develop over the next several weeks as your body produces new collagen. Skin texture and tone continue to improve for up to six months. For optimal outcomes, a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is often recommended.
