Microneedling in San Diego
(Collagen Induction Therapy)
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a treatment designed to improve skin texture, firmness, and overall skin quality by stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
Using the Emage Cytopen microneedling device, controlled micro-channels are created in the skin. These tiny micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural repair process, encouraging fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin.
As collagen production increases, the skin gradually becomes smoother, firmer, and more even in tone and texture.
Collagen Induction Therapy is commonly used to address:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Uneven skin texture
- Stretch marks
- Skin laxity
Because the treatment works by stimulating your body’s natural collagen production, results develop gradually as the skin rebuilds and strengthens over time.
At Glaskyn Aesthetics in San Diego, microneedling treatments are customized based on skin condition, treatment goals, and overall skin health.
Our Approach
At Glaskyn Aesthetics, microneedling treatments are performed using the Emage Cytopen, a precision microneedling device that allows for controlled depth and consistent treatment patterns.
Each treatment is customized depending on the patient’s skin type, treatment goals, and the specific skin concern being addressed.
By creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin, microneedling encourages the body’s natural regenerative processes, helping rebuild collagen and improve the skin’s structure.
Who This Treatment Is For
Microneedling may be appropriate for patients who want to improve overall skin quality without surgery or more aggressive procedures.
It is commonly chosen by patients who want to address:
- Early signs of aging
- Acne scarring
- Uneven skin texture
- Skin laxity
- Enlarged pores
Because microneedling relies on the body’s natural healing response, it is a versatile treatment that can be adapted for many skin types.
What to Expect During Microneedling
Microneedling treatments typically take 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the areas being treated.
Before the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort during the treatment.
During the procedure, the microneedling device creates thousands of controlled micro-channels in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate collagen production and allow the skin to begin its natural repair process.
After treatment, the skin may appear slightly pink or flushed, similar to a mild sunburn. This typically resolves within 24 to 48 hours.
How Many Microneedling Treatments Are Needed?
Many patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results.
The number of treatments depends on the condition being treated and the individual patient’s skin response.
Because microneedling stimulates collagen production gradually, improvements often continue to develop over time as new collagen forms.
