Introduction
Microneedling at the Aesthetic Arts Institute of Plastic Surgery in San Diego is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment designed to enhance the appearance and health of your skin. This minimally invasive procedure is renowned for its ability to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, addressing a range of skin concerns from fine lines and wrinkles to acne scars and uneven skin tone. Our expert team is committed to providing a personalized microneedling experience, ensuring optimal results for both skin and scalp applications.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a specialized device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin’s top layer. This controlled skin injury triggers the body’s natural healing process, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin. The procedure is versatile and effective for improving skin texture and firmness as well as reducing scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
Microneedling in San Diego is an effective way to rejuvenate the face, neck, chest, and hands. This treatment addresses various skin concerns, including reducing the appearance of scars, enhancing skin texture and tone, and minimizing signs of aging. By encouraging the regeneration of new skin cells, microneedling promotes a more youthful, radiant complexion.
Microneedling is also beneficial for the scalp, where it can stimulate hair growth by increasing blood flow to the hair follicles and enhancing the absorption of topical treatments. This makes it an excellent option for individuals experiencing hair thinning or loss. By creating microchannels in the scalp, microneedling facilitates deeper nutrient penetration, potentially leading to thicker, healthier hair growth.
Microneedling is a safe and effective treatment for most individuals, provided that they are healthy and have realistic expectations. Dr. Kaweski and her team will offer a private consultation to ensure the procedure is a good fit for achieving your cosmetic goals. In general, microneedling is effective for patients struggling with the following:
Please note that microneedling is not suitable for those with compromised immune systems, skin cancers, solar keratosis, keloid scars, or warts in the treatment zones. Treatment is also not recommended for individuals with active skin infections, cold sores, contact dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, or active acne.

Your microneedling treatment journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Kaweski or our Aesthetics Nurse at our world-class facility in San Diego. This introductory visit involves an in-depth discussion of your goals, answers to your questions, and an explanation of the procedure’s risks, benefits, downtime, costs, and potential outcomes. Dr. Kaweski or our Aesthetics Nurse will review your medical history to ensure there are no contraindications, ensuring a seamless, stress-free experience. Once you decide to move forward with treatment, we will book your session and provide a few guidelines to follow before your appointment.
Microneedling uses a specialized device to create thousands of minuscule needle punctures in the treatment area. These micro-injuries stimulate the body’s wound-healing processes, leading to increased cell turnover and enhanced collagen and elastin production. This natural healing response helps to improve the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. Additionally, microneedling can promote scalp hair growth and be leveraged for scar refinement.
Each microneedling session takes about an hour and is performed with a topical anesthetic to maximize your comfort.
Your Guide to Post-Microneedling Care
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with little downtime. You may encounter mild redness and swelling in the treatment areas after your session; however, these symptoms resolve within a day or two.
Avoid applying makeup and cosmetics for the first 24 hours. Your skin will be especially sensitive to the sun after your appointment, so make sure to wear sunblock when outdoors.
The cost of microneedling in La Mesa and San Diego varies depending on the areas targeted, the extent of your aesthetic concerns, and whether your treatment is combined with other complementary solutions. After Dr. Kaweski or our Aesthetics Nurse completes your initial consultation and medical review, we will provide personalized pricing.
