Promote collagen and
elastin production
Microneedling in Los Gatos is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s natural healing process, promoting collagen and elastin production. At Origins Medicine & Aesthetics, we use the advanced SkinPen for microneedling, ensuring precise and effective treatment for all skin types. This technique helps to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, and wrinkles, and address hyperpigmentation.

How does microneedling work?
Microneedling works by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin using fine needles. These tiny punctures trigger the skin’s natural wound-healing process, leading to the production of new collagen and elastin fibers. This process, known as collagen induction therapy, enhances skin texture and elasticity. By stimulating cellular regeneration, microneedling effectively reduces the appearance of acne scars, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and other skin concerns.
In addition to traditional microneedling we also offer the cutting-edge SLYFIRM X Radiofrequency Microneedling.
Microneedling + PRP
Combining microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) enhances the rejuvenating effects of the treatment. PRP, derived from your own blood, is rich in growth factors that accelerate healing and boost collagen production. This synergy results in faster recovery and more pronounced improvements in skin texture and tone.
Microneedling + Exosomes
Integrating microneedling with exosome therapy further elevates the benefits of the procedure. Exosomes are tiny vesicles containing regenerative growth factors and signaling molecules. When applied to the skin, they enhance cellular communication and promote faster tissue repair and regeneration. This combination maximizes the effectiveness of microneedling.

Microneedling FAQs
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes, microneedling can be combined with other treatments to enhance results. At Origins Medicine & Aesthetics, we offer microneedling with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy and exosome therapy. PRP uses growth factors from your own blood to accelerate healing and boost collagen production, while exosomes contain regenerative growth factors and signaling molecules that promote faster tissue repair and regeneration.
What can I expect during a microneedling treatment?
During a microneedling treatment at Origins Medicine & Aesthetics, your skin will be cleansed, and a topical numbing cream will be applied to minimize discomfort. The SkinPen device will then be used to create controlled micro-injuries in the targeted areas. The procedure typically takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area. After the treatment, a soothing serum or mask may be applied to enhance the healing process.
Is microneedling painful?
Microneedling in Los Gatos is generally well-tolerated, especially when a topical numbing cream is applied. Most patients describe a mild pricking or tingling sensation during the treatment.
What is the downtime after microneedling?
Microneedling involves minimal downtime. Immediately after the treatment, you may experience redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically subsides within 24 to 48 hours. Some patients may also experience slight peeling or flaking as the skin heals. However, most daily activities can be resumed immediately after the treatment.
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
The number of microneedling sessions required depends on your individual skin concerns and desired results. For optimal results, a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart is generally recommended. Your provider at Origins Medicine & Aesthetics will create a customized treatment plan based on your specific needs.
How long do microneedling results last?
The results of microneedling depend on the individual’s skin condition and the number of treatments received. Generally, improvements in skin texture and tone can be seen after the first session, with more significant results appearing after a series of treatments. The collagen and elastin produced continue to remodel and improve the skin for several months.
