Microneedling at Belle Marin: Precision Rejuvenation, Artfully Delivered
At Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine, microneedling isn’t just a treatment—it’s an invitation to rebuild your skin’s natural strength, texture, and luminosity with precision and purpose. By stimulating collagen and elastin from within, microneedling restores vibrancy and firmness to skin that’s lost its youthful structure—without surgery or extended downtime.
We offer two advanced forms of microneedling, designed to accommodate a range of skin needs and aesthetic goals:
-
Traditional Microneedling
-
Secretâ„¢ RF Microneedling
Each option is selected and customized by Dr. Faye Jamali, who brings a discerning clinical eye and an artist’s sensibility to every patient’s rejuvenation plan.

Whether you’re noticing early signs of aging or looking to correct scarring or texture irregularities, microneedling can help address:
- Acne scars and pitted skin
- Fine lines and crepey texture
- Mild jowling or sagging in the lower face and neck
- Pigmentation irregularities and sun damage
- Uneven skin tone
- Enlarged pores and rough texture
- Stretch marks and superficial skin laxity
Microneedling, Redefined: Your Options at Belle Marin
Traditional Microneedling
Also known as collagen induction therapy, this technique uses ultra-fine needles to create microscopic channels in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing cascade. As fresh collagen and elastin form, your skin becomes visibly smoother, firmer, and more radiant over time.
Enhancement Option: For elevated results, this treatment can be paired with platelet-rich plasma (PRP)—infusing your skin with your own growth factors to amplify repair and regeneration.
Secretâ„¢ RF Microneedling
For clients seeking more targeted tightening and structural improvement, Secret RF combines microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy to deliver heat deep within the dermis, enhancing collagen remodeling and lifting from within. Ideal for crepey skin, early sagging, or deeper lines, this modality offers visible rejuvenation with minimal to no downtime.
What to Expect from Your Treatment
Prior to any microneedling procedure, we apply a topical numbing agent to ensure your comfort. Using a sterile, medical-grade device, your provider will gently administer the chosen treatment based on your goals and skin condition.

FAQ’s
Microneedling is a transformative skin-renewing treatment that harnesses your body’s natural
healing powers to reveal a luminous, youthful glow. Using a sophisticated device with ultra-fine
needles, the skin is gently perforated to create microchannels—stimulating the production of
fresh collagen and elastin.
The result? A luxuriously refreshed complexion with visible improvements in:
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scarring
• Skin texture and tone
• Overall radiance
At our Marin County aesthetic studio, we elevate your microneedling experience by pairing it
with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)—your body’s own golden elixir—infused into the skin for
amplified healing and rejuvenation.
Every detail of your treatment is designed for comfort and elegance.
1 Soothing Start: A medical-grade topical numbing cream is applied to ensure your
session is relaxing and pain-free.
2 Precision Application: Our expert team, trained under Dr. Jamali’s aesthetic philosophy,
uses a handheld microneedling device to glide across your skin with intention and
artistry.
3 Luxury Add-On – PRP: If you choose to include PRP, it is applied immediately after
microneedling, when your skin is most receptive. These growth factors deeply absorb
into the microchannels, encouraging accelerated renewal, elasticity, and an ethereal glow.
Secret RF is the couture version of microneedling—ideal for clients seeking deeper, longer lasting skin rejuvenation. It merges traditional microneedling with the collagen-tightening effects
of radiofrequency (RF) energy, delivering heat beneath the surface of the skin to boost firming
and tightening.
This dual-action approach:
• Targets deeper layers without harming the surface
• Enhances skin density and resilience
• Refines texture while lifting and smoothing
It’s a favorite for clients who value technology-backed elegance and natural-looking
refinement.
Comfort is paramount. With numbing cream applied beforehand, most clients report little to no
discomfort—just a sensation of gentle vibration. Our serene, spa-like atmosphere further ensures
that your treatment feels indulgent rather than clinical.
A microneedling session typically lasts between 15 to 60 minutes, depending on your treatment
area and whether we incorporate PRP or Secret RF. Each appointment is unhurried and
customized to your skin’s needs—no rushed, assembly-line treatments here.
Expect a subtle post-treatment flush—like a gentle sun-kissed glow. Minor swelling or itchiness
may occur within the first few days as your skin renews. These effects are temporary and part of
the natural healing process.
To achieve the most radiant, long-lasting results, we recommend a series of three treatments,
spaced four to six weeks apart. Clients often continue with periodic maintenance sessions to
preserve and enhance their glow year-round.
Not at all. You can return to your day immediately following your treatment. A little post treatment redness is normal, but most clients feel confident stepping back into their routines with
minimal interruption.
Microneedling stimulates ongoing collagen and elastin production, with results that continue to
unfold over the weeks following your session. With proper skincare and touch-ups, you’ll enjoy
your revitalized look for several months—and with Dr. Jamali’s guidance, your glow can be
gracefully maintained year after year.
