Microneedling
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is an innovation in aesthetic medicine and facial rejuvenation for the treatment of fine lines, acne scars, and poor skin texture, tone, and color. During this procedure, tiny needles are used to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. The Spa at South Bay Plastic Surgeons is proud to offer microneedling to our Los Angeles-area patients from Long Beach, Torrance, and beyond who want optimal skin resurfacing with minimal epidermal damage.
If you’re interested in visiting our med spa in Torrance to learn more about microneedling, request a consultation online, or call (310) 784-0644 and one of our helpful staff members will schedule your appointment.

AquaGold®: Microneedling Alternative
Our Torrance med spa is known for offering patients an array of treatment options. Patients considering microneedling can also ask about AquaGold, another skin rejuvenation procedure that doesn’t require any downtime. The primary difference between microneedling and AquaGold treatments is that AquaGold infuses the skin with anti-aging products at the same time it stimulates new collagen production.
The hand-held device is really a micro-injector treatment that can be customized to inject a solution that includes serums, mini-doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic or dermal filler deep into the skin. The device is uniquely designed so it will not create micro-tears in the skin or cause any bleeding.

A beautiful and professional location! I went to Jeremie for my services. I needed a little bit of a refresh. I’m 50 and this year of lockdown and stress has done my appearance no favors. Jeremie helped to erase those forehead frown lines and those telling crows feet. She also recommended a Series of peels that were not a lot of down time but packed a ton of punch. It Smoothed all that dry rough skin and mask-acne. I feel like me but just “better and less stressed” looking. And Lawrd above did I need that! Thank you Jeremie!

I can’t speak highly enough about Dr. Newman, his office staff & surgical staff! He and his staff make me feel very comfortable during the entire process, from the consultation, pre-op and post-op! Dr. Newman has excellent bedside manner, and was very thorough in explaining the process. He took the time to listen to my concerns and was attentive to what I had hoped to achieve from the procedure. I would definitely recommend Dr. Newman. I love my results, 360 Lipo, tummy tuck, and Fat transfer.

Dr Whitney Burrell brought me to South Bay and introduced me to Michele Florez RN at The Spa. Michele is a miracle worker! I trust her explicitly. She has done Botox and filler for me for a few years and recently did threads to improve my sagging neck. Immediate, amazing results! We’re going to try a couple of other things along with facials when Covid restrictions are lifted. I can’t wait!

I saw Nancy to get filler for the first time. She was so thorough about talking to me about what I was looking for, how to achieve my results, providing options.

I’ve been coming to Stephanie for Botox for the last two years. At 1st I was scared because I didn’t want to appear overly done. Stephanie was patient with me and calmed my nerves by explaining the process & her expertise with the different patient preferences. She does such a wonderful job and her bedside manner is the best! She is currently giving me laser treatments. I’m on my 3rd session and I the outcome so far is better than I imagined! Going to Stephanie was the best decision I’ve made on my journey to self care & improvement. I obviously highly recommend her & you will too!

Nurse Stephanie Lapham is the best ! Undergoing any aesthetic treatment requires a great deal of trust in your provider. As a patient of Stephanie's for about 3 years, I have received almost all treatments provided and always walk out of the office with AMAZING RESULTS and confidence. Stephanie always gives her honest and expert opinion. She takes her time to listen to what you want to aesthetically achieve both short and long term, educates you on all your options to make the best-informed decision (no surprises), and takes her time with a gentle hand in all treatments I have received. Not only is Stephanie a master at her craft and knowledgeable in the newest techniques, she's also the sweetest most genuine person. The staff is also amazing. I can always count on Camille, Elizabeth, and Sahara for all pre/post treatment questions, products, and follow up. They are very knowledgeable, always aware of my treatment plan, and are so patient in accommodating my busy schedule. I highly recommend Stephanie to all my friends and colleagues because I know they will be in great hands.

I have been a client of Angelique George for 10 years. I would not think of going to anyone else but her. She is caring, professional and knows the in's and outs of the business and the best products to use. She is also very gentle, sincere and knows how to guide one when issues come up. She truly loves her work and is very dedicated to it and her clients. She gives more than 100 percent at every session and makes you feel so comfortable. I recommend her highly.
Mar 27, 2019
Michelle Florez is absolutely fantastic. She is an expert at what she does. She explains exactly everything to you clearly and precisely. She is very knowledgeable and takes what she does with pride. I have never had a negative experience the 6 years that i have been coming to the spa. Besides being an expert she is very professional, uplifting, positive and honest. She does not push products or procedures. She only gives suggestions once she is asked by the client. I could write pages on Michelle. All in all she is the best! I am so lucky to have found her.
Mar 14, 2019
I've been coming to this Spa for a year now! I was always concern with my skin but never knew the actions to take. Everyone here has made me feel so comfortable in taking these steps. I've done multiple peels and facials with the different Estheticians who have been so sweet and always make me feel so relaxed.. my skin care has improved so much and I see such a change in my acne and texture! I also have done injectable treatments here, the nurses are exceptional and put me at ease!
Oct 31, 2018
Michelle Florez is fabulous! I was a very late starter to getting anything done on my face. I was terrified because Im very sensitive to chemicals and I really cant handle pain. I also am not a fan of the look of over done plastic surgery or over injected faces. No frozen face or big lips wanted by me. But I also wanted to look my best, and also as natural as Possible, and with as little pain and down time as possible. Microneedling with stem cells is amazing! Michelle listens and is very careful to do what I am comfortable with. She is extremely professional, patient, honest and really experienced. On top of that she is a true artist. It’s Obvious by the beautiful and careful work she does. I even had a pretty bad aliergic reaction (to products after a treatment I think I’m allergic to retinol) one time and the way Michelle handled it and checked on me, made me confident that I would be coming back to her no matter what. I could not Recommend her more highly if you want anything cosmetic done to your face. And the spa itself is very nice, very well run and I am a very happy client. Thanks to Michelie!

This morning I had a facial with Frida at the new location of the Spa at SBPS. The facility is nice and bright with an open, contemporary feeling. Frida was very attentive and kind, making sure I felt comfortable. The whole experience was so relaxing. I would definitely recommend the Spa at SBPS.
Jun 30, 2018

*SBPS AESTHETIC INSTITUTE SUITE 302 Getting a Breast Augmentation was something that I have always wanted to do. Being in the foster care system taught me to be an independent woman, and as a part of that, I sought out to fix something about myself I was never truly comfortable with. It didn’t take long to find the perfect match for me. Once I found my team, I didn’t think twice. To Rachel the “Bra Fitter”, thank you for always making me feel comfortable during those awkward times of the fittings, and ensuring me that I was always in good hands. If they had a sales position for your job, you would be the best, and your communication was unparalleled. To Dr. Burrell the “Mastermind”, thank you for helping me trust doctors again. I trusted you implicitly with every direction that we took. You are so skilled in what you do and the passion you have for your job shows in every conversation we had. To Krishna the “Sweetest Receptionist”, thank you for welcoming me with open arms. I have had so many horrible interactions when it came to doctors’ offices, and your awesome smile made me feel like home. I never knew offices like yours could be so welcoming. Though you are the first face everyone sees when you walk in, I am honored that you took so much time out of your day to check in on me. To Olga the “Unbelievable Recovery Nurse”, thank you for walking me through my day-of procedures and what to expect. You handled my fear of needles like a champ, and I know I am not easy to deal with when it comes to “the poke”. I was so nervous before, but your calming bedside manner made me feel as though I was talking to my very own best friend. To Dr. Patel the “Vein Champagne Supplier”, thank you for being by my side. You knew exactly what to say to keep me calm. Our pre-operation call was like speaking to someone’s mother. You walked me through everything step by step and knowing you were by my side during the surgery made it all the more easy! To Chelsea the “Nurse with the biggest smile”, thank you for keeping my emotions high. Your demeanor made me feel so comfortable! Last but not least, to Cara the “Raddest Nurse”. How could you forget a girl like her? She was amazing. From the moment she walked in the room, I knew I was in good hands. You were so gentle, and I could tell you cared. It’s often easy to forget about all the people that made this happen, and if I did, I apologize-must be the drugs! I am beyond thrilled with everything so far, and even more, I am so happy to have been surrounded by such amazing people throughout this journey. If you are looking for a place to go, this is the absolute best choice in the South Bay! -Madison Lucci

I loved The Spa at South Bay Plastic Surgeons! This is a true medical spa- the results in my skin are truly amazing. I had tiny little red veins around my nose and they were zapped away with a laser. My eyebrows have been disappearing and now they beautifully frame my face and tattooing them was the best decision I've ever made. I'm so glad I went here as the results are so natural but it took ten years off! Also, I got great advice on products and have notice an amazing improvement in my skin tone and trxture which I did not expect after only a few weeks of use. I will go back for BOTOX and some other things as they are true medical professionals and their expertise is obvious.
Microneedling FAQ
What are the benefits?
Microneedling results in a reduction in wrinkles as well as improved texture and tone for softer, younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. Microneedling can reverse years of sun damage and has a positive effect on hyper-pigmentation as well as hypo-pigmentation, acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks. Many of our patients from Long Beach seeking skin rejuvenation treatments such as laser skin resurfacing choose microneedling because it produces similar effects with little downtime.
Don't know what you need?
Knowing which treatments are best-suited for your concerns can be confusing. Our interactive Treatment Planner is an easy-to-use guide to various skin conditions and the therapies our skin care specialists recommend.
Plan Your TreatmentWhat areas of the body can be treated with microneedling?
Microneedling can be done on all parts of the body, including the face, neck, chest, arms, legs, abdomen, and back.
How is the procedure performed?
Your skin care specialist will attach a sterile needle tip containing 12 tiny micro-needles to the MicroPenTM. She will then apply a thin layer of a topical gel to your skin and select the appropriate treatment depth of the needles based on your unique needs. Next, the pen will be pressed against the skin, gliding in one direction until the entire treatment area is covered. Several overlapping passes will be made in the same area.
How does it feel?
The feeling associated with microneedling is similar to sandpaper being moved across the skin. Although some areas are more sensitive than others, the speed of the reciprocating needle tip makes the treatment comfortable.
What is the downtime?
Immediately after the treatment, you will notice a bright redness to the skin. The total healing time depends on the depth of the needles and the number of overlapping passes your aesthetician performs. On average, patients are red for 2 to 4 days. Some patients will heal completely in 24 hours.
When will I see results?
Patients notice an immediate glow to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several weeks. The skin continues to improve for up to 6 months after the treatment as collagen production builds. Adding other skin care treatments at our Torrance med spa can help you achieve even greater effects.
How many treatments will I need?
Some patients may see some improvement after a single treatment. However, it is recommended that patients receive a series of 6 treatments spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart.
