Frequently Asked Questions

SkinPen microneedling uses tiny needles to create controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin's natural healing process, and promotes collagen and elastin production.

SkinPen microneedling can have many benefits for the skin, including reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, stimulating natural collagen and elastin production, smoothing uneven skin texture, refining pores, increasing skin smoothness and elasticity, and enhancing radiance with continued improvement over time.

SkinPen microneedling results typically last a few months. We generally recommend starting with a series of 3-4 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every few months for optimal results. Your provider will create a recommended treatment plan based on your skin needs and goals.

After a SkinPen microneedling session, you should anticipate mild redness or sensitivity for 24-48 hours, similar to a light sunburn. Typically, patients return to regular activities within a day.

SkinPen offers adjustable needle depths from 0.25mm to 2.5mm. This allows our estheticians to customize the treatment to each patient's individual skin needs.

Micro needling session with REJURAN

I’ve now had over three microneedling sessions here, and I can genuinely see a difference in my skin. This time I did microneedling with Rejuran, which is supposed to help speed up healing and stimulate collagen production.

One thing I really appreciated was how honest and professional they were. I told them I’d had a few drinks the night before, and instead of pushing PRF anyway, they explained why it wasn’t ideal and didn’t pressure me into it. I really respected that because it showed they care more about getting you the best results than upselling treatments.

Overall, I’ve had a great experience every time. The staff is knowledgeable, honest, and makes you feel comfortable. If you’re looking to improve acne scars, skin texture, or overall skin quality, I’d definitely recommend them.

Elle did a fabulous job and she is very gentle

Elle did a fabulous job and she is very gentle but gets the results. I have had two PRF sessions with her with the added Reju and my skin is looking fresh and bright. She has also done baby tox and I have to say she is the best.
I am getting ready to book my third PRF with her

I tried PRF microneedling for the first time and had such a great experience! The staff was professional, warm, and answered every question I had. They numbed me really well, so the whole process was completely painless. I’m now on day 7 and I’m loving the results!

Inconsistent Quality of Care

I’ve had PRP microneedling performed multiple times before, and this was by far the most painful experience I’ve ever had. I was very vocal throughout the procedure about the amount of pain I was in, yet I remained on the edge of my seat from beginning to end due to the discomfort. The treatment felt rushed and unnecessarily rough. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend microneedling at this location due to the inconsistency in care.

I absolutely love this treatment!

I have had this service three times now, and noticed a HUGE change in my skin. It always feels beautiful once it’s healed.. It’s a bumpy few days afterwards just with the fact your face is very red from the actual service, although that’s part of the process and nothing to be concerned about , and absolutely worth it once healed! The results are phenomenal, not to mention the ladies at the multiple locations that I have been to have been amazing. Thank you so much and see you again soon :)

BEST RESULTS!!

Starting off I just want to say Torrance location is the best. the staff are always very hospitable and welcoming. I made an appointment for micro needling and my facial injector was Sara , she’s amazing. I really appreciated how knowledgeable she was and how much reassurance she gave me. Thus far, my results has been amazing. I can 100% recommend this facial there’s so many benefits, in all it’s so good for your skin. If there’s something I wouldn’t mind spending my money on, is micro needling.

This was my first microneedling session with Dionna which was amazing! I was waiting a few days after my procedure to see results and my face is glowing. I will definitely be coming back to get microneedling with her.

The microneedling experience went great!

The microneedling experience went great! I decided to add the salmon DNA after Dionna thoroughly educated me before the treatment, and I was comfortable during the entire procedure. The numbing cream worked fine. Dionna recommended that I do 2-3 treatments and, I already see great results after my first one! She also recommended face products that I've been using for the past 2 weeks and definitely see a positive difference.

... this first facial experience was absolutely the best!

Kimberly did my micro needling PRF with PDRM and made sure I was ok throughout the whole process and explaining what the next days would look/feel like and gave after post care. Everyone really from the moment I entered were very welcoming! I've had botox and filler done before there but this first facial experience was absolutely the best! Thank you ladies!

Already booked my next appointment!

Got microneedling done at Naked MD Santa Monica with Hilary” my first time, and it wasn't nearly as painful as I expected! Hilary was so gentle and checked in throughout. The space had such calm, clean vibes. Everyone was super kind, including Rochelle the manager who was lovely and welcoming. Aftercare instructions were super clear, and I got a follow-up text too. Already booked my next appointment!

Super sweet of them and I'd definitely come back :)

Went in for microneedling with prp and rejuran. Big shoutout to Janet and Kristell. As a fellow RN, I was really impressed with their technique, bedside manner, and overall care. I barely felt a thing with their numbing cream. They also took the time to check in multiple times during my recovery to ensure things were going smoothly. Super sweet of them and I'd definitely come back :)

I'm definitely going to try to book my next app with her again!

I've had 2 micro needling sessions here and it was amazing. My second one was with Nelli, she was super sweet and made me feel really relaxed and comfortable. I loved that she told me exactly what she was doing with every step and its purpose. I'm definitely going to try to book my next app with her again!
