Dr. Kourosh Moazemi performs microneedling in Walnut Creek at Beau Visage Aesthetics and tailors the procedure to your skin’s needs after a thorough consultation in which he listens carefully to your concerns. This treatment creates controlled micro-injuries that encourage the skin’s natural renewal process.

How Does Microneedling Work?

The skin contains collagen, elastin, and growth factors that help support its structure. Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries that trigger a natural repair response and encourage renewed collagen production.

Because the treatment works below the skin’s surface, it can support cell turnover and gradually improve the appearance of texture, fine lines, and some types of scarring. Results develop over time as the skin completes its renewal process.

How Should I Prepare for Microneedling?

Preparation may include pausing certain skincare products and medications, avoiding unprotected sun exposure, and not shaving the treatment area on the day of your appointment. Instructions vary according to your medical history and treatment area.

Review your medications, supplements, skincare routine, and history of cold sores with Dr. Moazemi before treatment. Follow the complete microneedling pre- and post-care instructions provided for your appointment.

What Can Microneedling Improve?

Microneedling may improve the appearance of large pores, uneven skin tone, dark spots and hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, and acne scars by supporting collagen production and cell renewal. Individual response varies, and improvement develops gradually. Treatment can be performed on the face, neck, and under-eye area, tailored to your specific concerns.

If you’re considering microneedling in Walnut Creek, a consultation with Dr. Moazemi is a good place to start. He can assess your concerns, treatment area, and expected course of care before recommending a plan.

Efficient appointments

The treatment portion typically lasts 20–30 minutes.

Microneedling results are progressive rather than immediate. The treatment is commonly performed as a series, with the number and spacing of sessions based on the condition being addressed and the skin’s response.

What to Expect During Microneedling

Dr. Moazemi will cleanse the treatment area and apply a numbing agent approximately 30 minutes beforehand. He then uses a professional electric microneedling device to treat the selected area; the treatment portion typically lasts 20–30 minutes.

Although the skin is numbed, some temporary discomfort can occur. Redness resembling a mild sunburn is common afterward, and small marks from the micro-injuries may remain visible for the first few days.

When Will I See Microneedling Results?

Some improvement may become visible by about four weeks as the skin renews. The timing and degree of improvement depend on the treatment area, concern, and individual response.

Many clients begin with a series of at least three treatments, typically spaced four to six weeks apart. I will evaluate your skin concerns, response to treatment then recommend the appropriate number and timing for you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is microneedling painful?

The treatment area is numbed beforehand, so most patients experience only mild discomfort during the procedure itself. Afterward, it’s common to notice some dryness or tightness in the skin, but not pain.

How long does microneedling take to heal?

Skin commonly begins returning toward normal within 24–48 hours, depending on treatment intensity. Temporary redness and small treatment marks may remain visible for the first few days.

How many microneedling treatments are recommended?

Can microneedling treat acne scars?

Yes. Microneedling stimulates collagen production, which can gradually improve the appearance of acne scars over a series of treatments.

Does microneedling help with large pores?

Microneedling can help minimize the appearance of large pores by improving skin texture and stimulating collagen renewal.

Can microneedling improve dark spots or hyperpigmentation?

Microneedling may help fade dark spots and hyperpigmentation by promoting even skin renewal and cell turnover.

Does microneedling help with uneven skin tone?

Yes, many patients see improvement in overall skin tone evenness as new collagen and healthier skin cells develop.

Can microneedling be done under the eyes?

Yes, I can perform microneedling under the eyes to address fine lines and skin texture in this delicate area.

Can microneedling be done on the neck?

Yes, microneedling can be performed on the neck to help improve texture and support collagen renewal in that area.

Is microneedling safe for all skin types?

Yes, microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones. I tailor each treatment to your individual skin and concerns.

How much downtime should I expect after microneedling?

Most patients experience redness similar to a mild sunburn for 24–48 hours, with no significant downtime required.

Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?

Yes, microneedling is often combined with other modalities such as laser skin resurfacing to enhance results, particularly for treating hyperpigmentation. These treatments are typically scheduled on separate dates rather than the same day.

How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?

Initial improvement is often visible around four weeks, with full results developing over a series of treatments spaced four to six weeks apart.

What should I avoid before and after my microneedling appointment?

Avoid irritating active skincare products, waxing or removing hair in the treatment area, and blood thinners without medical guidance beforehand. For complete pre- and post-care guidance, review our microneedling care instructions.
