At Erase & Embrace Tattoo Removal in Temecula, we’re all about personalized skincare strategies that get real, lasting results. One of the most effective approaches we recommend for our clients is layering treatments—specifically combining laser therapy and microneedling for skin rejuvenation.
If you’ve been getting either treatment and are wondering, “Can I do both?”—the answer is yes, and it can actually enhance your overall results when done correctly.
Let’s break it all down.
Why Combine Laser Treatments and Microneedling?
Think of your skin like a multi-layered canvas. Laser treatments and microneedling each target different layers of the skin, and when used together, they stimulate both surface-level and deep tissue healing. Here’s how:
- Microneedling (with our Candela Exceed system) stimulates collagen and elastin by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. It improves texture, reduces fine lines, and fades acne scars.
- Laser treatments (such as the Candela PicoWay) use energy to target unwanted pigment, sun damage, and acne scarring.
By layering these treatments, we’re addressing multiple concerns at once:
Texture
Tone
Pigmentation
Scarring
Laxity
It’s like giving your skin a full renovation instead of just a fresh coat of paint.
How We Safely Combine Laser and Microneedling at Our Temecula Med Spa
Here’s how we typically space and layer the two:
Alternate Sessions:
This is our go-to protocol for most clients. We space your microneedling and laser treatments about 4 weeks apart, depending on skin type and goals.
Example Protocol:
- Month 1: Laser treatment
- Month 2: Microneedling
- Month 3: Laser Treatment
- Month 4: Microneedling
This alternating rhythm gives your skin time to recover and respond to each type of treatment fully.
Who Benefits Most from Layered Treatments?
Clients who see the best results from layering laser and microneedling treatments typically deal with:
- Sun damage or melasma
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Acne scarring
- Fine lines and early skin laxity
What You Can Expect: Timeline & Results
Most clients see a noticeable improvement within 4-6 weeks of starting combination therapy.
Here’s a general timeline:
| Time | Treatment | What’s Happening |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 | Laser | Targets pigment or discoloration |
| Month 2 | Microneedling | Boosts collagen, improves texture |
| Month 3 | Laser | Building on progress |
| Month 4 | Skin is firmer, smoother, and more even |
