San Diego Microneedling Procedures We Offer
PRP Microneedling For Skin Rejuvenation
San Diego PRP microneedling combines collagen induction therapy with platelet-rich plasma to enhance healing, boost collagen, and improve skin tone and texture. The treatment uses your own growth factors to accelerate results and support long-term skin renewal. PRP microneedling appointments typically last 30-60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Results can last up to a year, with most patients seeing the best outcomes after three sessions.
PRP Microneedling For Hair Loss and Beard Growth
San Diego PRP for hair loss and beard growth uses platelet-rich plasma and micro-injuries to stimulate hair follicles, increase blood flow, and encourage natural hair growth. PRP microneedling for hair loss treatments lasts 60-90 minutes, and results typically begin to appear within 4 to 6 weeks. We recommend at least three sessions for optimal results.
Potenza RF Microneedling
San Diego RF microneedling combines tiny needles with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production, tighten skin, and improve texture, tone, and acne scarring. Treatments typically last 30-45 minutes, with initial results appearing in about 1 week and full improvement developing over 3-5 months. Maintenance is usually recommended once or twice per year.
Skin Texture Issues That Microneedling in San Diego County Can Help
Acne Scars, Active Acne, and Enlarged Pores
For those seeking advanced acne treatments in San Diego, Potenza is a non-invasive treatment that is especially effective for acne scars and active acne breakouts. It reduces inflammation and the appearance of enlarged pores.
Stretch Marks and Scars
For San Diego scar treatment or stretch marks treatment, RF microneedling provides a non-invasive option to smooth and repair the face or body over multiple sessions.
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
For fine lines and wrinkle treatment in San Diego, these treatments boost collagen to reduce visible signs of aging. RF microneedling, like Potenza, reaches deeper layers to enhance firmness and deliver longer-lasting results.
Under Eye Bags
RF microneedling helps with under-eye bags by stimulating collagen to firm thin skin. Potenza is especially effective in this treatment area because it addresses deeper layers and improves skin elasticity without surgery.
Hyperpigmentation, Melasma, and Uneven Skin Texture

RF Microneedling With Hyaluronic Acid (SKINVIVE)
Microneedling with hyaluronic acid in San Diego is a great option for treating dryness and dullness. It enhances hydration through controlled micro-channels in the skin created during treatment. When performed by professionals, this technique helps with absorption and leaves the skin smoother, plumper, and more refreshed.
Microneedling With Growth Factor (PDGF+)
Microneedling with growth factor in San Diego uses Ariessence Pure PDGF+ as a PRP microneedling alternative, delivering regenerative benefits without drawing blood. Applied after traditional microneedling, it enhances collagen production and supports faster skin recovery.
Common Questions and What To Expect at Your Microneedling Treatment
What is the Microneedling Cost in San Diego?
Microneedling costs in San Diego range from $200 to $750 per session. Traditional microneedling costs range from $200 to $700, PRP microneedling costs ranges from $700 to $1,500, and RF options vary, from $1,000 to $3,000. Pricing varies based on treatment type, number of sessions, provider, and technology used.
Does Microneedling Hurt?
Microneedling may cause mild discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before treatment to minimize sensation. Patients often describe the feeling as light pressure or a sandpaper-like sensation. Discomfort levels may vary depending on needle depth, treatment area, and skin sensitivity.
How Long Does Microneedling Last?
Microneedling results typically last between 6 and 12 months, depending on skin condition, treatment type, and aftercare. Most patients see best results with a series of sessions followed by maintenance treatments once or twice a year.
Does Microneedling Tighten Skin?
Yes. Microneedling stimulates collagen and elastin production. This natural production helps tighten and firm the skin, reducing the appearance of sagging skin.
How Often Should You Do Microneedling Treatments?
Microneedling treatments are typically recommended every 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients benefit from a series of three sessions, followed by maintenance treatments once or twice a year, depending on aesthetic goals and skin type.
Other Non-Invasive Treatments For Overlapping Skin Concerns

Microdermabrasion vs Microneedling
Microneedling is recommended for treating deeper skin layers by creating controlled micro-injuries to increase collagen and elastin. It is an ideal treatment for reducing the appearance of acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines, and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion in San Diego focuses on exfoliating the skin’s surface to treat dullness and clogged pores.
Microneedling vs Chemical Peel
Microneedling stimulates collagen by creating micro-injuries in the skin using tiny needles, targeting scars, stretch marks, fine lines, and wrinkles at a deeper level. In contrast, a San Diego chemical peel treatment works through controlled acid exfoliation to treat surface concerns like pigmentation, acne, and dullness.
To maximize effectiveness, we recommend chemical peels as the first step. Then, we’ll use the powerful tool of PRP microneedling for the full effect.
Microneedling vs Laser Treatments
Microneedling uses controlled micro-injuries to stimulate collagen and improve skin texture with minimal downtime, making it suitable for all skin types. San Diego laser treatments use focused light energy to resurface the skin, targeting issues like pigmentation, deep wrinkles, and scarring with greater intensity. While lasers can deliver faster results for specific concerns, microneedling delivers a gentler option with fewer risks for sensitive or darker skin tones.
