Microneedling has gained popularity as a top choice for skin rejuvenation due to its ability to enhance collagen production and significantly improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity. Thanks to technological advancements, microneedling's effectiveness has skyrocketed, providing even more impressive results. When combined with PRP or exosome therapy, microneedling becomes an exceptional option for comprehensive skin rejuvenation in Los Angeles.
Microneedling?
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive, non-surgical technique that stimulates collagen production through micro-wounds in the skin. This process helps reduce wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation, resulting in natural and beautiful skin rejuvenation.
Enhanced Microneedling with PRP and Exosomes
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
This technique involves extracting plasma rich in growth factors from your blood and applying it post-microneedling. PRP boosts collagen production and enhances the skin's natural repair processes.
Exosomes
These are cell-derived components that promote healing and regeneration. Synthetic exosomes, when used with microneedling, amplify the skin's restoration capabilities.

Your Microneedling Experience at West Empire Aesthetics
Consultation and Preparation
Your microneedling journey at West Empire Aesthetics begins with a consultation with Hannah Rihani, PA-C, or Eliza Arakelian, BSN, RN. They will discuss your aesthetic goals, treatment preferences, and medical history. A personalized treatment plan will be created, and you will receive detailed preparation instructions for your appointment.
The Microneedling Procedure
The procedure typically starts with the application of a topical numbing cream for comfort. The SkinPen device is then used on the treatment area with adjustable settings tailored to your skin type and concerns. A standard session lasts about 15 to 30 minutes.
For treatments including PRP or exosome therapy, the solution is applied during the microneedling procedure for maximum absorption through the microchannels. PRP therapy involves a small blood draw to create your personalized growth-factor serum.
Post-Treatment Results and Care
Post-treatment, you might experience mild swelling or redness, but no downtime is required. Collagen production occurs gradually, with optimal results becoming visible over several months and lasting six to nine months.
