SkinPen® Microneedling in San Diego: Advanced Collagen Induction for Lasting Skin Renewal
As men and women grow older, the cell structures responsible for vibrant, firm, and blemish-free skin begin to deteriorate naturally. Those of us experiencing the formation of facial scarring, uneven skin, fine lines, and wrinkles can begin to look older than we are or want to appear. SkinPen® microneedling stimulates the skin to repair itself and produce new collagen and elastin, improving the overall appearance of the skin.
The SkinPen® is the first microneedling device cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to encourage skin rejuvenation and combat the effects of aging.
What Can the SkinPen® Address?
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
Wrinkles and fine lines can cause a patient’s face to look worn and tired. Thankfully, the SkinPen® can improve the skin’s elasticity and tightness, smoothing out wrinkles, fine lines, and creases on the skin for a stunning appearance.
Acne Scarring and Other Facial Scars
Acne scarring and other facial scars can significantly discourage a patient’s mood and self-confidence. SkinPen® will promote the production of new collagen and elastin, allowing patients to experience a reduction in scar tissue for clearer skin.
Uneven Skin Texture
Unevenness in skin texture can develop in the form of roughness, bumpiness, and enlarged pores. The SkinPen® microneedles can break down damaged tissue and rebuild volume for an even, smooth, and healthy skin texture.
What Is the SkinPen® Microneedling Procedure Like?
Do I Need a SkinPen® Consultation?
The consultation process is the beginning of your SkinPen® treatment plan and one of the critical steps in your journey to revitalized skin. At Coastal Plastic Surgeons, we begin to understand each patient’s unique skin concerns on a case-by-case basis. We will evaluate your medical background and the condition of your skin during your consultation to determine your candidacy for SkinPen® microneedling treatment in San Diego.
Once candidacy is confirmed, Coastal Plastic Surgeons will develop a plan tailored to your unique facial structure and skin.
How Is SkinPen® Microneedling Done?
The SkinPen® microneedling device is moved across the skin and creates controlled micro-injuries. This stimulates a natural wound healing response, where the immune system disinfects the wounds and increases blood flow.
As the micro-injuries heal, they will begin to create new dermal tissue and blood vessels responsible for smoothing out uneven skin, reducing wrinkles, and remodeling scar tissue.
After your SkinPen® treatment is complete, aftercare may be applied to support the skin and prevent dryness.
How Long Does SkinPen® Treatment Take?
The SkinPen® procedure typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour.
Patients should also plan their schedules with aftercare and follow-up appointments in mind.
