Expert Microneedling Treatment in Encinitas, CA

Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a minimally invasive dermatological procedure that uses fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in your skin. This advanced skin rejuvenation treatment triggers your body's natural wound-healing process, stimulating increased collagen and elastin production for smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

Our professional microneedling treatments in Encinitas offer superior results compared to at-home derma rollers. Dr. Krishna uses medical-grade devices with precise needle depth control to ensure safety and maximize effectiveness while minimizing downtime.

Professional microneedling is highly effective for treating a wide range of skin concerns. Our collagen induction therapy addresses:

Each microneedling session is carefully designed to maximize collagen production while ensuring patient comfort and safety.

Pre-Treatment Preparation

We cleanse your skin thoroughly and apply a topical numbing cream 30-45 minutes before treatment. Dr. Krishna may recommend pre-treatment with vitamin A or C serum to enhance collagen production.

Collagen induction therapy provides both immediate and progressive results. You'll notice initial skin improvements within 1-2 weeks as your skin's natural healing response begins. The most dramatic results appear after 4-6 weeks when new collagen formation peaks.

For optimal skin rejuvenation, most patients benefit from a series of 3-4 professional microneedling treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart. Maintenance treatments every 6-12 months help preserve your enhanced skin texture and tone.
