Microneedling in Glendale, CA

Microneedling in Glendale, CA

Microneedling is a powerful, versatile skin treatment that stimulates your body’s own collagen production to reduce scars, smooth texture, and restore a more youthful appearance. At BHSkin Dermatology in Glendale, Dr. Don Mehrabi offers medical-grade microneedling as part of a comprehensive cosmetic dermatology program — with the clinical expertise to determine whether microneedling is the right treatment for your specific concerns, and to perform it at the level that produces real, lasting results.

Collagen Induction Therapy: What Makes Microneedling Work


Microneedling creates thousands of microscopic channels in the dermis, triggering a healing response that produces fresh collagen and elastin. This natural regenerative process thickens and firms skin from within, leading to improvements that continue to develop weeks after each session.

Because microneedling works through mechanical stimulation rather than heat or chemicals, it is safe and effective for all skin tones and types — including darker skin tones that may be at higher risk for complications from ablative lasers.

Before and After Care: Getting the Most From Your Treatment

  • After: avoid direct sun exposure and always use SPF 30+ for 2 weeks
  • After: no active makeup for 24 hours (mineral makeup only after that)

Frequently Asked Questions


It depends on the scar type and your skin tone. Microneedling is excellent for rolling and boxcar scars and is safe for all skin tones — including darker tones where laser carries hyperpigmentation risk. Ablative laser treatments like CO2 may produce more dramatic results in lighter skin tones but require more downtime. Dr. Mehrabi will assess your scars and recommend the best approach.
Some improvement in skin radiance and texture is often visible after just one session. Collagen remodeling continues for 4–8 weeks after each treatment, so the full results of a single session develop gradually. Most patients see their best results 1–2 months after completing a series of 3–4 treatments.
Yes. Microneedling is excellent for the neck, décolletage, and body areas like the abdomen and thighs for stretch mark improvement. The needle depth and treatment protocol vary by body area. Dr. Mehrabi will customize the approach for your specific concerns.
Generally yes. Because microneedling does not use heat or chemicals, it is well-tolerated by most sensitive skin types. We recommend a patch test for patients with very reactive skin or certain skin conditions. Dr. Mehrabi will assess your skin’s suitability during your consultation.
