Microneedling in Newport Beach — collagen induction therapy for smoother texture, smaller pores and softer scars.
Frustrated by acne scars, large pores, or uneven texture?
Microneedling (collagen induction therapy) uses fine needles to create controlled micro-channels that trigger new collagen, improving texture, pore size and acne scarring. At ZENA Medical in Newport Beach it is planned by a board-certified dermatologist and costs $365 per session with a licensed aesthetician or $600 with an RN, NP or physician, with little to no downtime.
Microneedling is an effective maintenance treatment for overall skin rejuvenation. Microneedling is also known as collagen induction therapy because it induces collagen production in the skin. It can improve your overall skin tone and texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and other common skin concerns. With microneedling, you can achieve that youthful glow you’ve been longing for.
What it costs: $365 per session with a licensed aesthetician, $600 with an RN, NP or physician. With PRP or PRF, $850 and $1,000. Genius RF — microneedling combined with radiofrequency — is a separate procedure priced by area: $1,200 face, $1,200 neck, $2,200 both. Most patients need three to six sessions of standard microneedling; Genius RF can be a single treatment or a series. See the full microneedling pricing breakdown →
During a microneedling treatment, one of our medical providers at ZENA Medical will use a hand-held device to create tiny, controlled punctures in your skin. Each micro-injury will trigger the body to begin the natural process of filling these wounds with newly formed collagen and elastin. This device is not a laser, so it won’t deliver heat in the tissue, thereby preventing risk for hyperpigmentation in dark skin tones.
Micro-columns create channels directly into your skin tissue that give us an opportunity to infuse the skin with highly-active, skin-nurturing, products. We recommend a series of 4 to 6 sessions over several months for optimal results.
You may be a good candidate for microneedling:
Although your skin condition and treatment area will determine the length of a microneedling treatment, most treatments can be completed in under 1 hour.
Patients treated with microneedling often see:
You may notice some redness for 24 to 48 hours but can return to work and your daily activities right after a microneedling treatment.
Microneedling uses a device with fine needles to create controlled micro-channels in the skin. These tiny, precise injuries trigger the body’s natural repair response, stimulating fresh collagen and elastin to improve skin texture, tone, and firmness.
Microneedling is popular for acne scars, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven texture, and overall rejuvenation. Because it also enhances product absorption, it’s often paired with targeted serums or PRP for stronger results.
Most patients need a series of three or more sessions spaced about a month apart, with mild redness for a day or two afterward, similar to a light sunburn. At ZENA Medical in Newport Beach, microneedling is performed under the direction of board-certified dermatologist Dr. Zena Gabriel. Schedule a consultation to build your plan.
ZENA Medical is located at Fashion Island in Newport Beach, and we treat patients from across Orange County — Corona del Mar, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach and Huntington Beach. Every microneedling treatment here is planned by a board-certified dermatologist, which matters most when you’re treating acne scarring or working with skin that pigments easily.
If you’ve had microneedling elsewhere and didn’t see a result, it’s usually one of three things: the depth was too conservative, the interval between sessions was too short, or microneedling wasn’t the right treatment for your concern in the first place. We’ll tell you which. Add PRP or PRF for scarring and faster healing, or ask about Genius RF if laxity is part of the picture.
