Why We Offer Microneedling at RHMD: Luxurious, Evidence-Based Skin Renewal

At RHMD, microneedling is designed to deliver precise, rejuvenating results through advanced regenerative techniques and a patient-centered approach. Each treatment stimulates natural collagen production to smooth texture, refine tone, and restore radiance—without the need for surgery or extended downtime. Our modern technology and elevated protocols ensure every session is both comfortable and effective, producing results that embody the RHMD standard of excellence.

What Is Microneedling?

Microneedling is an advanced rejuvenation procedure that harnesses the body’s own biology to restore and refine the skin. Using a precision device with ultra-fine sterile needles, the treatment creates controlled micro-channels in the skin’s surface.

These tiny openings initiate a natural healing sequence that unfolds in three essential stages:

  1. Inflammation: The body responds instantly to the micro-injuries, releasing growth factors and signaling skin regeneration.
  2. Proliferation: Fibroblasts are activated to produce fresh collagen and elastin, strengthening the skin’s structure.
  3. Remodeling: Newly formed tissues reorganize and refine, resulting in improved firmness, smoothness, and resilience (Herald Open Access).

When combined with topical infusions such as growth factors, peptides, or vitamin-rich serums, these micro-channels enhance product absorption, allowing actives to penetrate deeply and amplify visible results.

Microneedling Benefits

Microneedling offers far more than surface rejuvenation; it reawakens the skin’s intrinsic ability to repair, regenerate, and renew itself from within. Each session builds upon the last, gradually restoring a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion. When performed with precision and medical oversight, microneedling in Beverly Hills can help achieve:

  • Refined Skin Quality: Gradual resurfacing that visibly smooths fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven texture for a more polished complexion.
  • Targeted Scar Revision: Softening of acne and surgical scars through collagen remodeling, creating a more uniform skin surface.
  • Radiant, Balanced Tone: Improved appearance of pigmentation irregularities such as melasma, photodamage, and sunspots.
  • Structural Skin Renewal: Stimulation of collagen and elastin synthesis that restores firmness, density, and elasticity.
  • Enhanced Absorption of Actives: Increased penetration of clinical-grade serums and growth factors for amplified rejuvenation benefits.

Are You a Good Candidate for Microneedling?

Good candidates for microneedling are:

  • People with mild-to-moderate signs of aging (fine lines, laxity)
  • Those seeking improvement in acne scars, other superficial scars, or stretch marks
  • Individuals with pigment irregularities (melasma, sun damage)
  • Patients wanting better skin texture and tone with minimal downtime

However, microneedling may not be suitable for everyone. Individuals with active skin infections such as herpes outbreaks, acne flares, or warts should wait until their skin has fully healed before treatment. It’s also not recommended for those with uncontrolled inflammatory skin conditions like severe eczema or psoriasis, a history of keloids or hypertrophic scarring, or anyone who has used isotretinoin within the past 6 to 12 months. Additionally, patients with very thin or fragile skin may need alternative rejuvenation options better suited to their skin type.

Microneedling FAQs

How soon will I see results after microneedling?

Most patients notice an improvement in skin texture and radiance within 1–2 weeks following their first session. However, collagen remodeling continues for up to six months, with optimal results typically visible after a series of 3–6 treatments.

How long do microneedling results last?

Results can last six months to over a year, depending on factors like age, skin health, and at-home care. Maintenance treatments every 6–12 months help sustain collagen production and long-term skin refinement.

What areas of the body can be treated?

Microneedling is most commonly performed on the face, neck, and décolletage, but it can also rejuvenate hands, abdomen, arms, thighs, and scars on various body areas. RHMD customizes needle depth and treatment approach to each region’s skin thickness and sensitivity.

What should I avoid after treatment?

For the first 24–48 hours, avoid makeup, exercise, saunas, and active skincare ingredients. Keep the skin clean and hydrated, and apply only physician-approved post-care products to encourage optimal healing and collagen formation.

Are there risks or side effects with microneedling?

When performed by a qualified professional, risks are minimal. Temporary redness, swelling, or pinpoint bleeding can occur but typically resolve within 24–72 hours. Rare complications such as infection, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or scarring are exceedingly uncommon and mitigated by RHMD’s sterile protocols and medical oversight.

How is microneedling different from at-home dermarollers?

At-home devices only penetrate the outermost skin layer and cannot stimulate meaningful collagen remodeling. Professional microneedling at RHMD uses medical-grade technology with precisely controlled depth and sterilization, providing far more effective, and safer, results under expert supervision.
