Microneedling in Spring Valley, CA

Microneedling is one of those treatments that sounds scarier than it is. We use a medical-grade device with tiny, controlled needles that glide over the skin, creating micro-channels. Your body treats those channels as “injuries,” which triggers collagen and elastin production. The result: smoother texture, softened fine lines, smaller pores, and an overall healthier look. It’s often called “collagen induction therapy”—because that’s exactly what it does.

If you’ve been typing “microneedling near me” or “microneedling Spring Valley CA” into search, here’s the local, physician-directed option you’ve been looking for.

What it feels like

Most patients describe it as a mild scratching sensation. We apply a topical numbing cream first, so the actual treatment is more annoying than painful. Sessions take 30–45 minutes, depending on the area. Afterward, you’ll look pink—like a sunburn—for a day or two, then see gradual improvements over the next 4–6 weeks.

What microneedling helps with

Some patients pair microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) or PRF (platelet-rich fibrin) for even stronger results—your growth factors boost collagen production further.
Treatments

How many treatments you’ll need

Microneedling is cumulative. One session freshens the skin, but the real magic shows up with a series:

Skin rejuvenation

3 sessions, spaced 4–6 weeks apart

Scars or deeper texture issues

4–6 sessions

Maintenance

1–2 sessions per year

We’ll set realistic expectations based on your goals and skin condition.
Safety & oversight

Safety & oversight

At SD Weight Loss Center, treatments are overseen by Michael Woo-Ming, MD, MPH. With Mayo Clinic training and 20+ years of clinical experience, he makes sure your skin type, history, and any medications are considered before treatment. That’s the difference between a safe, effective procedure and a risky “spa” version.
