At Resplendent Day Spa, our professionals offer myriad solutions for the skin on the face, especially for our patients dealing with under-eye imperfections and dark circles. With treatments like microneedling, patients can find solutions available to them that are affordable and effective. Long Beach, California area patients who are ready to enhance their appearance and eyes are encouraged to read on and learn more with some frequently asked questions below:
What is microneedling? How does it work for under-eye treatments?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive skin treatment that uses fine needles to create tiny micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate your body’s natural healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. Applying under the eyes can reduce signs of dark circles, improve skin texture, and create a youthful appearance.
Is microneedling painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as a slight tingling or mild prickling. Your skincare professional will apply a numbing cream before the procedure, so you feel little to no discomfort.
How many treatment sessions will I need to see results for dark circles?
Noticeable improvements occur after 3 – 6 sessions spaced about 4 – 6 weeks apart. However, this depends on the severity of your dark circles and your skin’s response to treatment. You’ll start seeing gradual changes and enjoy the more natural enhancement of your skin.
Are the results of microneedling considered permanent?
While microneedling offers lasting improvements, the natural aging process doesn’t stop. To maintain results, occasional maintenance sessions are recommended, paired with a healthy skincare routine and sun protection.

Can microneedling completely get rid of my dark under-eye circles?
It depends on the cause of your dark circles. If they are due to pigmentation, microneedling can significantly help. However, if they stem from genetics, lack of sleep, or underlying health conditions, microneedling can improve the area but may not eliminate them. We may have other treatment recommendations to assist you in achieving your goals.
Is microneedling safe for sensitive under-eye skin?
When microneedling is performed by a trained professional, it is safe for the delicate under-eye area. The process is carefully controlled at every step to ensure optimal results without causing harm. Always trust experienced providers with knowledge of proper techniques.
What should I do to prepare for a microneedling treatment session?
Avoid excessive sun exposure, stop using strong exfoliating products a few days prior, and skip alcohol or blood-thinning medications before treatment if it is safe. Your skincare specialist gives detailed instructions to ensure you are prepared and ready.
Are there side effects I should know about?
Post-treatment redness, slight swelling, or sensitivity are normal and usually subside within a day or two. Your skin may feel like it has a mild sunburn, but applying recommended serums and keeping the area moisturized can soothe it. Avoid harsh products or makeup until your skin heals.
