Microneedlingin San Pedro
Smoother texture. More even tone. Care for your face, neck, and chest.
At Coastal Wellness, Dr. Anna Bäck offers microneedling for skin showing fine lines, uneven texture, visible pores, acne scarring, and changes in firmness. Every session includes the face, neck, and chest, with copper peptides, hyaluronic acid (HA), or other serums selected for your skin.
How microneedling works
Microneedling uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries that activate the skin’s repair response and stimulate collagen production. As the skin rebuilds, texture can become smoother, fine lines and acne scars less noticeable, and tone more even. Improvements develop gradually as new collagen forms. American Academy of Dermatology
Treating the face, neck, and chest together brings the same attention to the areas visible above your neckline. Treatment is adjusted to the skin in each area and your individual concerns.
Copper peptides, hyaluronic acid, and personalized serums
Your skincare plan incorporates copper peptides and hyaluronic acid, or other selected serums, with product choice and application timing tailored to your treatment.
Copper peptides are used in skincare formulas focused on the appearance of firmness, fine lines, and skin texture. Copper peptide research
Hyaluronic acid attracts and holds moisture, helping skin feel hydrated and supple. Research on topical HA formulations has demonstrated improvements in skin hydration and elasticity. Hyaluronic acid study
Your appointment
The face, neck, and chest are cleansed and prepared, with topical numbing used for comfort.
Microneedling is performed with a sterile, single-use treatment tip. Treatment settings are adjusted for each area. You may feel a prickling or scratching sensation, and pinpoint bleeding can occur.
You will receive instructions for cleansing, moisturizing, sun protection, and when to resume your usual skincare products.
After treatment
Expect some temporary redness, warmth, or tightness. Dryness and light flaking can occur as the skin recovers. Recovery varies with treatment intensity and your skin’s response. FDA microneedling information
Your treatment plan
For concerns such as acne scarring, uneven texture, and fine lines, a series of treatments allows progress to build over time. Sessions are generally scheduled about a month apart, with timing adjusted to your recovery and goals.
Visible improvement can begin within several weeks, while collagen remodeling continues over the following months. Dr. Bäck will discuss the number of sessions and a maintenance schedule suited to your skin. American Academy of Dermatology

MicroNeedling FAQs
Who performs microneedling at Coastal Wellness?
Your treatment is performed by Dr. Anna Bäck, a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine and California Licensed Acupuncturist (L.Ac.), at Coastal Wellness in San Pedro.
What specialized training does Dr. Bäck have?
Dr. Bäck holds additional certificates in microneedling for skin aging, acne-related concerns, and hair restoration. Her training also includes facial acupuncture, bringing together her education in Traditional Chinese Medicine, professional acupuncture licensure, and focused aesthetic training.
Can estheticians or cosmetologists perform microneedling in California?
An esthetician or cosmetology license does not authorize microneedling in California. The California Board of Barbering and Cosmetology lists microneedling outside the scope of both licenses. Esthetician scope, cosmetology scope
How can I check a provider’s licensing and training?
Check the provider’s professional license through the California Department of Consumer Affairs, then ask about procedure-specific training. A course certificate documents education; legal authority to perform a treatment depends on the practitioner’s professional scope of practice. A salon license or training certificate alone does not establish that authority.
How does microneedling work?
Fine needles create controlled micro-injuries that trigger the skin’s repair response and stimulate collagen production. This remodeling process gradually improves the skin’s texture and appearance. Cleveland Clinic
What skin concerns can it improve?
Microneedling can improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, and uneven skin tone. American Academy of Dermatology
Can I have microneedling if I have acne?
Microneedling can address acne scarring. Active inflamed or infected breakouts should heal before the affected areas are treated. American Academy of Dermatology
Is microneedling suitable for my skin tone?
Suitability depends on your skin, the device, and the treatment settings. A history of dark marks, pigment changes, or unusual scarring should be discussed before treatment. FDA
Why do you treat the face, neck, and chest together?
These areas form one continuous part of your visible skin. Including all three gives your neck and décolletage the same attention as your face, with treatment adjusted to each area.
What does the $199 price include?
One session is $199 and includes the face, neck, and chest, skin preparation, topical numbing, microneedling, the selected treatment serum, and aftercare instructions.
Which serums are used?
Your skincare plan includes copper peptides and hyaluronic acid (HA), or other serums selected for your skin. Product choice and application timing are tailored to your treatment and recovery.
Does microneedling hurt?
Topical numbing helps reduce discomfort. You may still feel warmth, prickling, or a scratching sensation. Sensitivity varies between treatment areas. Cleveland Clinic
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Protect your skin from the sun and follow instructions about pausing retinoids or exfoliating products. Share your current skincare routine before treatment. American Academy of Dermatology
How is microneedling different from facial acupuncture?
Microneedling creates a pattern of small punctures across the treatment area. Facial acupuncture uses individually placed needles at selected points. Dr. Bäck has training in both approaches. FDA, California Acupuncture Board
What should I expect afterward?
Your skin can feel warm or tight and appear red or mildly swollen. Dryness and light flaking can follow. These effects generally improve over the next several days. Cleveland Clinic
When will I see results?
Early improvement can appear within several weeks. Fuller results develop over the following months as new collagen forms. American Academy of Dermatology
How many treatments will I need?
Multiple sessions are often needed for established texture concerns or scarring. Appointments are generally about a month apart, with the schedule adjusted to your progress and recovery. Cleveland Clinic
When can I wear makeup again?
Wait at least 24 hours, then follow your individual aftercare instructions. American Academy of Dermatology
How should I care for my skin between treatments?
Follow your cleansing and moisturizing plan, protect your skin from sunlight, and resume retinoids and exfoliating products as directed. American Academy of Dermatology
When should I postpone treatment or discuss suitability first?
Contact the office if you have a rash, skin infection, cold sore, or sunburn. Also disclose pregnancy, medications, bleeding disorders, immune suppression, a tendency to form keloids, or difficulty healing before scheduling treatment. FDA
