Microneedling in San Diego
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 with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) 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. With the addition of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), patients can smooth out wrinkles and scars while restoring balance to their skin’s health.
What Can the SkinPen® With Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Address?
Wrinklesand Fine Lines
Wrinkles and fine lines can cause a patient’s face to look worn and tired. Thankfully, SkinPen® with PRP can improve the skin’s elasticity and tightness, smoothing out wrinkles, fine lines, and creases on the skin for a stunning appearance.
Acne Scarringand Other Facial Scars
Acne scarring and other facial scars can significantly discourage a patient’s mood and self-confidence. SkinPen® with PRP will promote the production of new collagen and elastin, allowing patients to experience a reduction in scar tissue for clearer skin.
UnevenSkin Texture
Unevenness in skin texture can develop in the form of roughness, bumpiness, and enlarged pores. The SkinPen® microneedle and PRP treatment can break down damaged tissue and rebuild volume for an even, smooth, and healthy skin texture.
What Is the SkinPen® Microneedling With PRP Procedure Like?
Do I Need a SkinPen® and PRP Consultation?
The consultation process is the beginning of your SkinPen® and PRP 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 case by case. We will evaluate your medical background and the condition of your skin during your consultation to determine your candidacy for SkinPen® with PRP. Once candidacy is confirmed, Coastal Plastic Surgeons will develop a plan tailored to your unique facial structure and skin.
How Is SkinPen® Microneedling With PRP Done?
Extracting the Platelet-Rich Plasma
SkinPen® with PRP treatment begins with extracting platelet-rich plasma to be applied to the skin later. First, a small sample of the patient’s blood is drawn. The blood sample is then deposited into a centrifuge that is spun to separate the platelet-rich plasma, which contains the rejuvenating growth factors. Once this process is complete, the PRP is prepared to be applied to the skin once microneedling is complete.
SkinPen® Microneedling
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® and PRP treatment is complete, aftercare may be applied to support the skin and prevent dryness.
Have Other SkinPen® and PRP Concerns?
How Long Does It Take to Recover From SkinPen® With PRP Treatment?
SkinPen® with PRP requires little to no downtime. Immediately after your treatment, the skin may appear slightly pink or red, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. The most common response to treatment is tightness, rough skin, dryness, peeling, itching, redness, discomfort, burning, and tenderness. Patients can expect to recover from these side effects over a brief time (approximately two to four days) without further complications. However, the length of recovery time depends on each patient individually. Some patients may recover fully in 24 hours.When Will I See Results From My SkinPen® With PRP?
Patients may notice their SkinPen® with PRP results within one week to one month. Once a patient’s body has completed the healing process, they can enjoy rejuvenated, radiant, and youthful skin. SkinPen® with PRP is not permanent, and multiple sessions of SkinPen® with PRP are advised to achieve optimal results. Our providers at Coastal Plastic Surgeons will help you formulate a consistent program to maintain lasting results.Is SkinPen® With PRP Treatment Painful?
The SkinPen® with PRP treatment can be used with a topical numbing agent to make the experience comfortable and relatively pain-free. Your provider at Coastal Plastic Surgeons will thoroughly explain what they do to ensure patient comfort before the microneedling and PRP process.How Much Does SkinPen® Microneedling With PRP Cost?
During your consultation, your doctor will develop a plan to work within your budget. SkinPen® microneedling with PRP costs less than many surgical alternatives. The size and number of areas being treated can change the cost of SkinPen® with PRP treatments.Frequently Asked Questions About SkinPen® and PRP
After searching for the right Dr to help me and several comfortable meetings I decided to go with Dr Batra hands down. What wonderful work Dr Batra did he is an artist from start to finish he has been so warm, helpful and patient. This was such a treat to give myself and I will share recovery for me was fast very little discomfort and 2 mths later I feel younger and refreshed (very thankful).
Surgeries are life changing and must not be taken lightly which is why I researched for months and did my homework. I also want to share whilst researching Dr Batra I read through his Blogs, which we sometimes skip and I was touched by not only is he a fantastic surgeon but what a kind soul he is, his yearly trips to India to give back and volunteer his work and time is so humbling and says so much about ones character.
I would 100% recommend Dr Batra and his team. Thank you so much

I was on my third breast augmentation after having my first child. I had a leak in my left and so much scar tissue developing in my right. It was such a nightmare and then finding a doctor I was comfortable with after two botched surgeries was so stressful. I went to a bunch of referrals from friends but nothing felt right, after doing plenty of research on my own and reading review after review I decided to book a consul with Dr. Batra. He was so confident on being able to fix my situation and the staff made making the decision even easier. My surgery was a breeze and healing was so wonderful I had no pain and felt amazing. If I had to do this again hands down I would go with Dr. Batra again.
