Microneedling in Danville, CA
What is Microneedling?
If over-the-counter skin care products aren’t delivering the results you're after, but surgery feels too invasive, consider minimally invasive options like microneedling to rejuvenate your skin. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Vivek Bansal offers microneedling (also known as collagen induction therapy) at his Danville, CA office. This treatment involves using fine-gauge needles to create micro-injuries in targeted areas, stimulating your body's natural production of collagen and elastin — key elements for a healthier, more youthful complexion. Microneedling can be combined with other treatments, such as serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), to help reduce the appearance of scars, large pores, and stretch marks. Schedule a consultation at Elite MD to learn more about microneedling and create a personalized treatment plan to address your skin's unique needs.
Microneedling in Danville, CA
Boost Natural Collagen Production for Radiant, Younger-Looking Skin
If you're not seeing the results you want from over-the-counter skincare — but aren’t ready for surgical solutions — microneedling could be the ideal treatment for you. At Elite MD in Danville, CA, board-certified providers offers microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, to help rejuvenate your skin using your body’s natural healing process.
This minimally invasive treatment uses a specialized device with fine needles to create precise micro-injuries in the skin. These microchannels stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, two essential components for firm, youthful-looking skin. Microneedling can also be enhanced with advanced regenerative treatments like Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), which further accelerates healing and enhances results.
What to Expect During Microneedling Treatment
Microneedling treatments are performed in our state-of-the-art office and typically take about 30 to 60 minutes depending on the treatment area. To ensure your comfort, a topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure. Once the skin is cleansed, the microneedling device is gently passed over the surface, creating microchannels in the skin. These micro-injuries allow for deeper penetration of healing agents, such as PRF or nutrient-rich serums, applied immediately after the procedure. The treatment concludes with a custom moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the newly treated skin. Most patients describe the sensation as mild, and downtime is minimal — making it an ideal "lunchtime procedure."
What Is PRF and How Does It Enhance Microneedling?
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a next-generation, natural growth factor concentrate derived from your own blood — similar to PRP but with a more gradual, sustained release of healing proteins. PRF contains a higher concentration of platelets, white blood cells, and stem cells, all of which accelerate collagen production and tissue regeneration.
When paired with microneedling, PRF enhances the skin’s healing response, helping to improve results for concerns like:
- Acne and surgical scars
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Skin laxity and dull tone

If you're looking for a truly luxurious and exceptional experience, look no further than Elite MD! From the moment I walked into their brand-new BlackHawk location, I was absolutely blown away. The space exudes true luxury -- every detail is thoughtfully designed to make you feel like you're in the best hands possible.The level of care and attention from each and every staff member is beyond impressive. I first spoke with Rea on the phone, and she was so lovely and informative, making me even more excited to come in and experience Elite MD for myself. She made the process seamless and welcoming from start to finish.When I arrived, Kathryn took amazing care of me for my Botox and filler treatments. She was so skilled and professional, making sure I was comfortable and happy every step of the way. Ashlynn and Ericka were also wonderful, assisting up front and adding to the warm, welcoming vibe of the entire experience.The entire team at Elite MD made me feel pampered, valued, and confident in the treatments I was receiving. I can't wait to return and be treated like royalty again. Truly, this is the place to be for any aesthetics needs -- highly recommend checking out the BlackHawk location! You won't regret it.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Roxana! She is truly gifted at what she does. I've been seeing her for lymphatic massage, and each session has made a noticeable difference in how I feel--less swelling, better circulation, and a deep sense of relaxation. Roxana is not only highly skilled, but also kind, professional, and incredibly attentive to her clients' needs. She takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and creates such a calming, supportive environment. I always leave feeling lighter, refreshed, and well cared for. I highly recommend Roxana to anyone looking for expert lymphatic care--you'll be in amazing hands!

How much does microneedling cost?
During your consultation, our team will perform a detailed skin analysis and create a customized treatment plan based on your goals. Once your plan is outlined, we'll review the costs and explain the entire procedure. We frequently offer specials on skin treatment packages, so be sure to ask about our current promotions during your visit.
What exactly is microneedling?
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a nonsurgical treatment designed to rejuvenate and tighten the skin. As we age, collagen production naturally decreases, leading to thinner, less elastic skin. Microneedling creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body's natural healing response. This stimulates collagen production and new cell growth, resulting in a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion once the skin heals.
Can microneedling be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Microneedling creates micro-channels in the skin, which enhance the absorption and effectiveness of other treatments. That's why it's often combined with serums or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), commonly known as the "vampire facial." During your consultation, we'll discuss your skincare goals and recommend any complementary treatments that may boost your results.
How many microneedling sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 sessions, depending on their skin condition and desired results. Treatments are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. We'll evaluate your skin during your initial visit and suggest a plan tailored to your needs. Once your desired results are achieved, we generally recommend twice-yearly maintenance sessions to preserve your improvements.
Is microneedling safe for everyone?
For the most part, microneedling is appropriate for all skin tones and types. Skin injuries created by microneedling are so minor that there are rarely side effects after the treatment. Microneedling can be applied to most skin areas, including the arms, face, neck, thighs, chest, and lower legs. Microneedling is not recommended if you've been on Accutane recently, have herpes simplex, an open wound, or an active skin infection. Additionally, you might not be a candidate for microneedling if you're pregnant, nursing, or undergoing radiation treatments.
