Microneedling in Encino, CA

Microneedling is one of the most effective and versatile skin rejuvenation treatments available today — triggering the skin’s own collagen production to improve texture, reduce scarring, and create a smoother, more radiant complexion. At BHSkin Dermatology in Encino, Dr. Asmi Berry performs medical-grade microneedling that goes far beyond what you’ll find at a spa, using professional devices and her clinical expertise to deliver results that last.

How Microneedling Works — and Why It's So Effective


Microneedling (also called collagen induction therapy) uses a device with tiny, sterile needles to create thousands of microscopic channels in the skin. These controlled micro-injuries trigger the skin’s natural wound-healing response — producing new collagen and elastin fibers that thicken and firm the skin over time.

The results build gradually over 4–8 weeks as new collagen forms, with optimal outcomes typically visible after a series of 3–6 treatments. Unlike resurfacing lasers, microneedling works on all skin tones without the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, making it an excellent option for diverse skin types.

Frequently Asked Questions


For most concerns — texture, pores, mild scarring — a series of 3–4 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart produces excellent results. For more significant acne scarring or stretch marks, 4–6 sessions may be needed. Maintenance treatments 1–2 times per year help sustain results.
A topical numbing cream is applied 30–45 minutes before treatment, making the procedure quite comfortable for most patients. Without numbing, it would feel like moderate sandpaper friction. With proper numbing, most patients rate it as a 2–3 out of 10 for discomfort.
Redness and mild swelling for 24–48 hours is typical — similar in appearance to a moderate sunburn. Most patients feel comfortable going out the next day with SPF and light mineral makeup. Peeling or flakiness can occur in the days following as the skin turns over.
Yes. Microneedling pairs well with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), topical growth factors, and hyaluronic acid serums, all of which can be applied immediately after treatment to enhance penetration and results. It can also be combined with chemical peels or laser treatments in a staged protocol.
