GO BEYOND WITH DR. EMER

Dr. Jason Emer is an expert in acne scar treatments. He is a specialist dermatologist in Beverly Hills, California. You will be amazed to see microneedling before and after treatments performed by him.

REAL RESULTS

Traditionally in the past lasers have been the primary form of rejuvenating the skin along with deep chemical peels on the face. Newer technologies with microneedling and microneedling with radio frequency can give improvements in the skin in terms of pores, scars, complexion and skin tone, and even skin tightening more than we’ve ever seen before with less risk.

A QUICK INTRO TO MICRONEEDLING

The tip of a microneedling device has a grouping of very fine needles that rapidly pierce the surface of the skin at a depth determined by the treatment provider, which stimulates collagen production without pain or damage. This increased collagen rejuvenates the skin’s texture and appearance. In the hands of expert cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Jason Emer, microneedling is a powerful treatment that has now become one of his most popular offerings.

MICRONEEDLING WITH PRP

Dr. Jason Emer, a board-certified dermatologist and an expert in facial and body rejuvenation from Beverly Hills/Los Angeles, CA, uses PRP post laser treatment with microneedling to help the skin build collagen, reduce inflammation, and shorten healing time.

The PRP is harvested from the patient’s own blood and is applied topically to the skin. The PRP contains growth factors that help the skin rebuild while reducing inflammation and redness.

HOW DOES MICRONEEDLING TRANSFORM YOUR SKIN?

Kickstarts collagen production

In aging, the production of collagen, the body’s age-reversing protein compound that helps seal in moisture and ensures a smooth, radiant complexion, slows down. Microneedling causes controlled trauma, which triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response and creates an increase in collagen production – and a youthful glow.

Helps correct facial scarring

Dr. Emer is renowned for the way he uses microneedling as part of his approach in treating acne scars. Many of his patients have experienced significant improvement to their acne scars with no negative side effects.

Other types of skin corrections

Microneedling can actually be performed head-to-toe and on all skin types to address pigmentation issues, repair sun damage, reduce the appearance of pores and tighten the skin.

Speeds up the absorption of topical serums

After a microneedling session, the skin is more susceptible to the absorption of serums, nutrients, antioxidants and vitamins, which is super beneficial when it comes to fighting off free radical damage from the environment and the stress of aging.

Helps reduce wrinkles and fine lines

Sagging, wrinkled skin can be revitalized through microneedling, while fine lines, creases and folds can be gently reversed. What’s more, microneedling can be more cost-effective than some laser and light treatments, and can be performed more frequently.

STEP INSIDE DR. EMER'S PROCESS

Using a portable handheld device, Dr. Emer expertly needles the treatment areas to a predetermined depth based on the concerns with miniature needles, triggering fine pinpoint bleeding which stimulates new collagen. Pinpoint bleeding is important because this indicates the needles are reaching the depth where collagen production occurs in the skin.

Dr. Emer also uses microneedling as a post-laser treatment, in combination with topical cosmeceuticals, natural growth factors, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and stem cells (Acell). This revolutionary, combination approach has been shown to improve outcomes, activate healing, reduce redness and assist with product absorption.

DR. EMER'S MICRONEEDLING

CAN HELP ALMOST ANYONE

Most all skin types are excellent candidates for microneedling treatments, regardless of age. The treatment aids the skin in building new tissue, so patients with both thick and thin skin can experience improvement in skin texture. Before undergoing any procedure, patients should be free of any skin infections to prevent worsening due to the skin being pierced. Individuals with scars from acne or injury are also good candidates for this treatment to remodel the scar tissue.

STATE OF THE ART

Dr. Emer provides chemical peels in-office at his West Hollywood medical practice. Most chemical peels can be performed in 30-90 minutes. The specific details of your procedure will depend on the type of peel and the location of the treatment area.

COMBINATION TREATMENTS

The Vampire FacialTM

Dr. Emer is a pioneer of this cutting-edge procedure – officially called a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment but widely known as the Vampire Facial™. In it, whole blood plasma is collected from the patient and spun in a centrifuge, separating the red blood cells from the platelet rich plasma. The PRP is then applied to the face and microneedled back into the skin to a depth which creates pinpoint bleeding, stimulating the production of collagen and healthy cells. The procedure is used to treat acne, scarring, melasma, surgical scars and wrinkles, but can also be used for general antiaging.

Cosmelan Peel

Cosmelan is the most advanced leave-on peel to treat melasma, hyperpigmentation, discoloration, burns and acne scars. Dr. Emer often recommends this peel before ablative lasers, such as CO2, to maximize results. Unlike other peels, Cosmelan is non-inflammatory and accelerates cellular turnover to remove dead skin cells, lift pigmentation, soften texture, smooth skin, as well as reduce pores and fine lines.

The ReveSkin Enlighten Rx™ Depigmentation System

In collaboration with LeReve Skin Institute, Dr. Emer offers a lighter version of the Cosmelan Peel that uses a higher concentration of salicylic acid – ideal for patients with acne scars and cystic breakouts. The Enlighten Peel contains a proprietary combination of pigment suppressors and nourishing vitamins, including hydroquinone, retinol, kojic acid, arbutin, niacinamide and vitamin C. This custom peel has a shorter recovery time and maintains the results of a Cosmelan Peel.

DOWNTIME & RECOVERY

Downtime can range from days to weeks depending on the treatments performed. Microneedling alone typically results in swelling and tenderness for 2 to 5 days, depending on the depth of the treatment, the number of passes on the skin, and your skin’s sensitivity to the treatment. For those who combine microneedling with non-ablative lasers (such as Clear+Brilliant, Fraxel, or Venus Viva) or ablative lasers (Erbium, Halo, or CO2), the recovery period may be 1 to 2 weeks.

Dr. Emer can provide a post-treatment skin care protocol to help repair the skin, minimize your downtime, and improve your outcome:

  • RestorSea Pro Foaming Cleanser: a sulfate-free cleanser that cleans, brightens, and gently exfoliates the skin
  • ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica Broad Spectrum SPF 50+: sunscreen with high UVB and UVA protection is critical following a microneedling treatment to help prevent sunburns
