A patient testimonial of her microneedling journey

As I entered my 40s, I began noticing significant changes in my skin: the texture wasn’t as smooth, there was a bit of sagging, and the youthful glow I once had seemed to fade. Determined to reclaim my radiance, I embarked on a journey to rejuvenate my skin. This quest led me to Dr. Painovich in Los Alamitos, where I decided to try microneedling, intrigued by her holistic approach.

From the moment I arrived at Dr. Painovich’s clinic, I felt at ease. She started the microneedling session by applying a numbing cream to my face, ensuring the treatment would be comfortable. What sets her practice apart is her incorporation of acupuncture before the microneedling process. This unique step stimulates the flow of qi and blood, enhancing the efficacy of the microneedling treatment. I had never heard of this combination before, and it added a layer of relaxation and therapeutic benefit to the procedure.

The treatment itself was surprisingly comfortable and relaxing. I felt absolutely no pain, thanks to the numbing cream, Dr. Painovich’s technique, and the Acupuncture treatment. During the microneedling, Dr. Painovich applied hyaluronic acid, which helps in hydrating and plumping the skin. After the session, I left with TOMA skin therapy products, which she recommends to significantly boost the treatment’s results.

This was the first of a recommended series of four treatments to achieve optimal results. My goal is to eliminate sun damage and restore my skin’s natural glow. I am eagerly looking forward to my next treatment in a month. Dr. Painovich is meticulously tracking my progress with detailed images taken at each session, allowing us to see the improvements over time.

My journey with microneedling at Dr. Painovich’s clinic has just begun, and I am excited to share my progress. Stay tuned as I continue this path to rejuvenated, glowing skin.
