SkinPen™ Microneedling IN LA JOLLA AND NEWPORT BEACH | TIM SAYED MD
Women and men looking to improve their skin often find that big things can be achieved without excessive downtime and recovery time.
For example, SkinPen™ microneedling can enhance your facial complexion, reduce the appearance of acne scars, and soften wrinkles on the neck—all without surgical means. In addition, the minimally invasive treatment will leave you with healthy, radiant skin that will emerge from within.
An FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen technology gives your skin the reset it needs. It is made in America and is rigorously tested for efficacy and safety. The in-office treatment requires little downtime and delivers noticeable improvements in as few as three treatments.
For decades, microneedling has been used in various forms, from hand rollers to block stamps to the new automated pens that make the method convenient, consistent, and comfortable. Recently, dermatologists and plastic surgeons have embraced the concept. Now we’re discovering the simple action of micro-wounding the skin without heat or other high technologies works remarkably well.

How SkinPen Microneedling in San Diego Works
SkinPen is a clinically proven microneedling device that improves neckline wrinkles, acne scars, and more for patients twenty-two and older. With three sessions spaced thirty days apart, it can help improve skin health and appearance so you can step out into the world with confidence.
The advanced microneedling tool creates thousands of micro-wounds that act as channels to stimulate the body’s natural healing process while keeping cellular damage to a minimum. This rejuvenation process repairs skin from the inside out. The key benefit is an effective remodeling of scar tissue while keeping skin tissue structure intact.
The Wound Repair Process
- Inflammation—Penetrating the skin will trigger the body’s immune system to cleanse the wound, eliminate debris, increase blood flow, and create new tissue.
- Proliferation—the micro-wounds are rebuilt with new granulation cells while a new blood vessel network is developed.
- Remodeling—The wound is replaced with new blood vessels and dermal tissues.
But the most impressive aspect of how SkinPen works is that ninety percent of all patients in a clinical study would recommend the treatment to friends and family.
Collagen Induction Therapy
CIT or collagen induction therapy helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and the overall skin tone and texture. The innovative treatment is designed to regenerate collagen and elastin to create a smoother, more youthful skin appearance.
During CIT, the SkinPen microneedling tool will press gently against the treatment areas. Patients compare the process to sandpaper softly rubbing against the skin. The entire procedure typically takes fifteen to thirty minutes, making it a quick and convenient therapy. Although your skin will appear red for a few days, you should experience a healthy skin glow and benefits that continue developing for several weeks.
Product Absorption Booster
The micro-channels produced by SkinPen allow serums, creams, and topical gels to absorb effectively deep into the skin. Medical-grade skincare products can be selected to achieve optimal results.
These may include:
- Brightening serums
- Stem cells to multiply new cells and facilitate regeneration
- Hyaluronic acid products
- Vitamin C for an antioxidant boost
