Microneedling Overview

Microneedling Helps Skin’s Natural Renewal Process

Microneedling in La Jolla is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that harnesses the skin's natural regenerative abilities to promote a more youthful and revitalized appearance. During microneedling, a device equipped with fine, sterile needles creates controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body's healing response, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin fibers. As the skin heals, it becomes firmer, smoother, and more even in texture, addressing concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, scars, and uneven skin tone. Microneedling effectively rejuvenates the skin by utilizing its own regenerative process, ultimately leading to a more radiant and youthful complexion.

How Does Microneedling in La Jolla Work?

Each microneedling technique encourages the skin's natural healing process, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin. RF microneedling offers the added benefit of skin tightening, while Dermapen provides controlled and efficient micro-injuries for targeted improvements. Dr. Bolitho's expertise ensures that the chosen microneedling technique is tailored to your specific needs, leading to optimal and long-lasting results

What Are the Different Microneedling Techniques?

Traditional Microneedling: This technique involves using a handheld device with fine needles to create micro-injuries on the skin's surface. The body's natural healing response stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture and reduced signs of aging.
Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling: RF microneedling combines traditional microneedling with radiofrequency energy. The needles create micro-injuries while delivering controlled heat energy into deeper skin layers. This dual action enhances collagen remodeling, tightening sagging skin, and improving overall skin texture.
Dermapen Microneedling: The Dermapen device uses a motorized head with multiple tiny needles that rapidly puncture the skin's surface. This automated process ensures consistent and precise micro-injuries, promoting collagen synthesis and reducing the appearance of scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

What Are the Benefits of Microneedling?

Microneedling treatment typically takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the specific technique and areas being treated. Recovery time varies based on individual response and technique, but downtime is generally minimal. Clients enjoy the following results from microneedling:

Improved skin texture and tone
Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
Diminished appearance of scars, including acne scars
Minimized pore size
Enhanced skin firmness and elasticity
Reduction in hyperpigmentation and age spots
