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

Microneedling Reviews
Thank you, Dr. B and everyone on the awesome team at Elite MD!62 year old male here, predisposed to storing fat under my chin. I had Dr. B work on that, vaser lipo and skin tightening, and really am happy on so many levels with the results.Before surgery I started the (strongly) recommended diet to reduce inflammation. (It makes the final result better.) But I immediately noticed my belly shrinking and my digestion improving even though I wasn't really losing weight. Clearly I was suffering inflammation, and also clearly the diet works. If you know about this, you know there are several health benefits to avoiding inflammation, and I'll probably live longer just due to this improvement. Thank you Dr. B!The surgery was done semi-awake, sedated but no general anesthesia, no hospitalization, etc. Safer, and I was able to go home within a couple of hours of the procedure finishing. Now that the swelling has resolved, it looks so much better!And maybe best of all was just the attitude and approach of everyone there. You can tell they really care and they want you to be happy with your results. That's too often not the case in the world today, but it is atElite MD.

Dr Bansal and his team performed my V form liposuction and skin tightening in January 2026. I have been beyond thrilled with the results and the care I received and continue to receive. I had gained weight with both my pregnancies and the kids just stretched out my skin. When I looked in the mirror, I felt like I didn't recognize myself anymore, so after a year and half of hard work at the gym and changing my diet, I felt like I was at the point where I was ready to do something about my mommy shelf and tummy. It was important to me that the surgeon I chose to do lipo understood this was a big deal for me and that they understood my vision for myself. I wanted to still have curves but tighten the loose hanging skin. I also knew with still young kids at home that a tummy tuck was off the table. So what options were going to be available for me? From my intake to my meetings and post op care with the extended care team, I have felt so truly cared for and just seen. They listened and made the recommendation for me to undergo liposuction for super sticky belly fat that wasn't going anywhere with all my hard work and tightening for my belly. What I loved was the procedure was outpatient, and would have super small incisions (the size of a grain of rice), so that I could get the results I was looking for and it was going to have a recovery time my family could support-- really one week was what I needed before I could be off pain medication and back to the school drop off and pick up routine. In terms of the surgery and the after care itself, Dr Bansal was great about explaining the plan clearly. He saw me and listened to me. He answered my questions without rushing, in fact he spent so much time with me I felt really confident that this was going to go well. The team was available by phone and text, and there was so much great advice about healing from a whole body perspective -- Im talking about meditation, eating clean, lymphatics, and mentally being in my best state of mind. It was a true whole person approach which makes this team so unique. In the operating room I felt safe, I already knew the surgical team, having spoken to Anesthesia, Dr Bansal, Tony the PA and Morgan the NP multiple times before. Post-op, Dr Bansal, Tony and Morgan all checked in personally to make sure I was feeling ok and healing optimally. They have a schedule of post op appointments that are on the books before you even have surgery. They are seriously committed to their patients and those conversations made it so much easier going through the recovery process. So my advice is if you are thinking about reaching out for a consult, DO IT! You honestly cannot go wrong with this team. Dr Bansal is fabulous to work with and will give you the results you are looking for!I feel like I have made the best possible choice and would recommend any of my friends or family who were considering cosmetic surgery to go here first.Picture is post surgery in a dress I bought three years ago but couldn’t wear because my tummy was too big, now it fits!!!!

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.
