Medical microneedling of skin, also referred to as collagen induction therapy, is a relatively new concept aimed at stimulating the body’s own collagen and elastin production to tighten, lift and rejuvenate the skin, as well as reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimize pores, stretch marks, crepey skin, and scarring such as surgical and acne scars. Dr. Sasaki is excited to offer this new technology to his patients in Pasadena, Glendale and throughout Los Angeles.

Microneedling: A Revolutionary Method of Fractional Microdermabrasion
Modern techniques control the levels of dermal penetrations through the protective epidermis by an array of microneedles whose depths are adjusted precisely by settings on the handpiece. Each of the thousands of micropassages within the dermis activates and stimulates the cascade of normal positive wound healing by releasing growth factors for eventual collagen and elastin production and maturation.

Combining Microneedling with Other Treatments
Another advantage of microneedling is creation of thousands of micro-channels for the delivery of cosmeceuticals, bioactive peptides, transforming and growth factors, as well as your own live platelets (PRP) into your dermis for enhanced skin rejuvenation.
Microneedling
In the Device/Injection Center, our registered nurses use a microneedling treatment to deliver hyaluronic acid—the same substance used in fillers—into the microchannels created during the procedure. Patients experience virtually no discomfort during the treatment and no downtime, which is ideal for the face, neck and chest.
Microneedling is the perfect treatment for weddings and other special occasions. This quick treatment helps improve skin’s appearance to help you look your best.
