ABOUT SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING

WHAT IT IS

SkinPen is a minimally invasive microneedling treatment that creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It improves fine lines, acne scars, and uneven texture, with a series of treatments recommended for optimal results.

WHAT THIS TREATS

The gold standard for improving acne scarring, large pores, and uneven skin texture. By stimulating natural collagen, it targets fine lines and sun damage (sunspots or melasma), making it a favorite for San Diego’s active, sun-exposed lifestyles.

HOW IT WORKS

A medical-grade device with sterile, ultra-fine needles creates precise micro-channels in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response and promoting smoother, firmer-looking skin over time.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your skin will be cleansed and numbed for comfort. During treatment, you may feel mild warmth or light scratching. Afterward, redness and slight swelling are normal and typically resolve within a few days. Most patients return to normal activities the same day, with proper sun protection.

FAQs

  • The number of microneedling sessions required varies based on individual skin conditions and desired results. Typically, a series of multiple treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. During your consultation, our experienced practitioners will assess your skin and develop a personalized treatment plan.

  • Microneedling is generally well-tolerated. While the procedure involves some discomfort, the application of a topical numbing cream significantly reduces any pain. Most clients report only mild sensations during the treatment.

  • Microneedling involves minimal downtime. Post-treatment redness and swelling typically subside within a few days. You can resume your normal activities immediately, but it’s crucial to avoid sun exposure until your skin has fully healed.

  • Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in long-lasting improvements to the skin’s texture and appearance. With proper skin care and maintenance, the results can be sustained over time.

  • Microneedling is a safe and minimally invasive procedure with a well-established safety profile. Common side effects include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort in the treated area. These effects are typically mild and resolve on their own.

  • Before your microneedling appointment, it’s essential to inform your medical provider about any medications, supplements, or skin conditions you have. Avoid using any harsh skincare products or treatments before the procedure. During your consultation, our practitioners will provide specific pre-treatment instructions to ensure the best results.
