Micro-Needling & PRP Treatments in Bakersfield
Achieve Radiant, Youthful Skin with Micro-Needling & PRP

At Beautologie, we offer cutting-edge micro-needling with the Eclipse MicroPen®, a revolutionary treatment designed to enhance skin texture, reduce fine lines, and improve overall complexion. Also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), this advanced procedure stimulates natural collagen and elastin production to promote firmer, healthier skin. Along with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, this combination can elevate your skin’s appearance to a whole new level of radiance.
What is Automated Micro-Needling?
Automated micro-needling uses the Eclipse MicroPen® to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing process, stimulating collagen and elastin production for smoother, younger-looking skin. Additionally, the procedure enhances the absorption of topical serums, creams, and gels, allowing for deeper penetration and maximized benefits. It’s an incredibly versatile treatment that targets various skin concerns for a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Benefits of Micro-Needling:
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Targets and softens the appearance of lines, providing a rejuvenated look.
- Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Promotes even skin tone and smoother texture by stimulating natural collagen.
- Diminishes Acne Scars and Stretch Marks: Reduces the visibility of acne scars and stretch marks, improving skin texture.
- Minimizes Hyperpigmentation and Discoloration: Helps to lighten dark spots, sun damage, and pigmentation concerns.
- Enhances Skin Elasticity and Firmness: Promotes firmer, more youthful-looking skin by stimulating collagen production.
- Safe for All Skin Types: Gentle and effective, micro-needling is suitable for all skin tones and types, including sensitive skin.
Areas That Can Be Treated
The Eclipse MicroPen® is FDA-approved and can be used on various areas of the body, including:
- Face – Target wrinkles, fine lines, and skin texture
- Neck – Improve elasticity and tone for a smoother neckline
- Décolleté – Smooth and rejuvenate the delicate chest area
- Arms & Hands – Address signs of aging and improve skin quality
- Abdomen – Reduce stretch marks and improve overall skin appearance
- Back – Treat acne scars and uneven skin tone
- Legs – Improve texture and address imperfections like stretch marks or scars
What to Expect During Treatment
Your provider will apply a light topical gel to the treatment area before selecting the appropriate MicroPen® setting tailored to your skin's unique needs. The pen is then gently pressed and glided across the skin in a precise motion, ensuring full coverage of the treatment area. This ensures a consistent and effective result across the treated skin.
Does Micro-Needling Hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to light sandpaper brushing against the skin. Certain areas may be more sensitive than others, but the rapid motion of the MicroPen® combined with a hydrating gel ensures a comfortable experience. A topical numbing cream is typically applied before the treatment to minimize any discomfort.
Treatment Duration & Downtime
- Procedure Time: 15-30 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated
- Recovery Time: Mild redness may occur immediately after the treatment, similar to a mild sunburn and typically subsides within 2-4 days. Using professional-grade skincare products, such as the Obagi NuDerm Line, can accelerate healing and enhance results. Most patients are able to resume their normal activities within 1-2 days.
When Will I See Results?
Patients often notice an immediate glow after treatment. Over the following days and weeks, skin texture continues to improve as collagen production increases. Full benefits develop over 3-6 months, with optimal results seen after a series of treatments. For the best outcomes, many patients opt for multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
The number of sessions required varies based on your individual skincare goals:
- Mild skin concerns: 1 treatment per year may be sufficient
- Moderate skin issues: 2-3 sessions spaced 6-8 weeks apart are recommended
- Severe concerns (deep wrinkles, scars, stretch marks): 6-8 sessions at 6-week intervals may be needed for the best outcome
PRP Injections & Microneedling with PRP in Bakersfield
What is PRP Therapy?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is an advanced skin rejuvenation technique that harnesses your body’s natural growth factors to promote healing, boost collagen production, and restore youthful skin. This treatment is highly effective for addressing:
- Deep Acne Scars
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles
- Stretch Marks
- Hyperpigmentation
How Does PRP Work?
A small sample of your blood is drawn and spun in a centrifuge, separating the plasma from other components. This platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is then applied topically during microneedling or injected into the scalp for hair restoration therapy. PRP contains at least eight essential growth factors that stimulate new cell growth, making it one of the most effective natural anti-aging treatments available.
