Beverly Hills Microneedling
Microneedling is an advanced micro-medical skin needling procedure that stimulates skin regeneration and activates healing. The microneedles create tiny punctures in the skin, which in turn stimulate new collagen and elastin to form. This natural repairing process creates smoother, brighter, healthier, and younger-looking skin. Microneedling is not painful, has minimal to no downtime, and leaves your skin looking tighter and rejuvenated. It also can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, and stretch marks anywhere on the body for all skin types.
Benefits of Microneedling
Improved Skin Texture
Dr. Diamond can correct textural skin imperfections quickly and comfortably.
Acne, scarring, and stretch marks often leave physical traces on the skin that makeup can’t hide. Having poor skin texture can damage a person’s self-confidence. Dr. Diamond offers in-office microneedling for a smoother, more radiant complexion. This treatment can also be used after a facelift to address texture issues better than surgery.
Younger-Looking Skin
Microneedling rejuvenates the skin by addressing superficial blemishes and wrinkles.
The natural aging process and years of sun exposure can create fine lines and skin discoloration. Dr. Diamond offers microneedling as a non-surgical skin rejuvenation treatment that delivers younger-looking skin without surgery or significant downtime.
Natural And Lasting Results
The results of microneedling trigger natural and prolonged skin enhancement.
Microneedling promotes collagen and elastin production as well as skin cell regeneration. These naturally occurring healing responses continue to enhance the skin in the weeks and months following treatment, ensuring long-term improvement. Several sessions may be necessary to achieve the desired result.

What Are Microneedling Treatments Like?
The Process
Microneedling involves the insertion of very fine surgical needles (typically made of titanium) into the face, neck, or other areas of concern to rejuvenate skin and address deep imperfections. More than one session may be necessary, depending on the nature of your concerns, with subsequent treatments scheduled according to each patient’s treatment plan.
Pain
While some describe a prickly sensation similar to a sunburn, most of our patients report no pain during their microneedling treatments. At the Diamond Face Institute, a topical anesthetic cream is applied to the targeted area(s) to minimize discomfort.
Recovery
There is little to no downtime required after microneedling. However, patients may experience minor redness and swelling for two to three days. A gentle skin care regimen can be resumed after three days, but alcohol-based toners and sun exposure should be avoided for 10–14 days.
Scars
The tiny punctures created by the microneedling roller are nearly imperceivable, and because microneedling is minimally invasive, it does not result in visible scarring.
Microneedling Frequently Asked Questions
How much does microneedling cost?
The cost of your treatment depends on the extent of your skin concerns and the number of sessions needed to achieve your desired goals. Your treatment plan will be thoroughly explained during your consultation at The Diamond Face Institute.
How should I prepare for microneedling?
For the best results, there are a few things to do to prepare for microneedling. Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning two to three weeks before your treatment, as sunburned or irritated skin can complicate the treatment. If you’re using harsh skin care products like retinoids or alpha hydroxy acids, stop using them a few days before the treatment to reduce skin sensitivity.
Avoid blood thinning medications like aspirin or ibuprofen a few days before your session (with your doctor’s approval) to minimize bruising. Hydrate and come in with clean skin—no makeup or products. Dr. Diamond and his team will provide you with pre-treatment instructions specific to you to get the most out of your microneedling treatment.
How long does microneedling treatment take?
The length of a microneedling treatment depends on the area being treated, but a typical appointment is 30 minutes to an hour. The treatment takes 15–30 minutes, but additional time is needed to prepare the skin and apply a topical numbing cream, which takes 15–20 minutes to take effect.
During the treatment, Dr. Diamond will move the microneedling device over the targeted areas, creating controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen and elastin production. These tiny punctures trigger the skin’s natural healing process, which improves skin texture, tone, and firmness. After the treatment, Dr. Diamond may apply soothing serums or hydrating products to calm the skin and enhance results. Microneedling is a quick and minimally invasive treatment, so it’s perfect for busy schedules.
How often can I get microneedling done?
The frequency of microneedling sessions depends on skin type, goals, and treatment intensity. For best results, most patients are recommended to do sessions every four to six weeks so that their skin can heal and regenerate before the next treatment.
For general skin rejuvenation, most people do three to six sessions spaced four to six weeks apart. You may need more sessions for deep acne scars or texture irregularities. Dr. Diamond will assess your skin after each treatment and recommend a customized plan.
What areas of the body can microneedling treat?
While microneedling is known for facial rejuvenation, it’s versatile enough to treat other areas of the body. Dr. Diamond offers microneedling for the face, neck, and décolletage to address aging, sun damage, and skin laxity in these areas. Microneedling can also improve skin texture and reduce stretch marks and scars on the body, abdomen, thighs, and arms.
Since microneedling stimulates collagen production, it can improve elasticity and texture and give skin a smoother, firmer appearance, no matter where it’s done. Dr. Diamond’s expertise in microneedling allows him to customize the treatment for delicate areas like the eyes so you can get a natural-looking result without surgery. That’s why microneedling is an excellent option for patients who want overall skin enhancement on the face or body.
Would I benefit more from microneedling or laser treatment?
Both microneedling and laser treatment produce similar results, like skin texture improvement and scar reduction. During your consultation, Dr. Diamond will assess your unique condition and determine which skin resurfacing procedure will benefit you the most.
When will I begin to notice the results of my microneedling treatment?
After a microneedling session, which takes about an hour, your skin will start to naturally regenerate and heal, working below the surface in the dermis. As collagen production increases, new skin cells are generated, and blood supply is enhanced. It can take up to six weeks before signs of regeneration and repair become visible. The process will continue over the following months, providing natural and long-lasting enhancement.
What makes microneedling at The Diamond Face Institute better than at-home microneedling treatment?
While patients may see some improvement after at-home microneedling, it is crucial to have the procedure performed by a professional. Dr. Diamond possesses the expertise and meticulousness required to perform microneedling safely and efficiently, as he understands how deep the needles should go into the skin and the level of aggression necessary to obtain the best results. He also offers several options for microneedling, such as platelet-rich plasma, that provide more dramatic results and are not available for at-home use.
