The Miracle of MicroPen®

Collagen is a powerhouse structural component that makes your skin look taut, voluminous, radiant, supple, and smooth — in short, collagen makes you look young. However, as we age, our body’s ability to produce collagen decreases, leading to wrinkles, facial hollows, sagging skin, deflated or dull skin, and other signs of aging. With MicroPen San Diego patients of Dr. Sadrian's have a state-of-the-art cosmetic technology available to them, used for advanced applications of microneedling, aka collagen induction therapy. The MicroPen creates numerous micro-punctures on your skin’s surface, catalyzing collagen production, and triggering your body’s natural healing response. The miraculous MicroPen essentially restores your youth, giving you firm, supple, and taut skin.

MICROPEN TREATMENT SCHEDULE

During your initial consultation, Dr. Sadrian will examine your skin type and discuss your cosmetic goals to curate the ideal treatment plan for your specific needs. Most patients need three to six sessions to ensure optimal and long-lasting results. However, the doctor will determine the exact treatment schedule based on your specific skin conditions. Dr. Sadrian will also discuss pre- and post-treatment guidelines.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM MICROPEN

During the procedure, the medical aestheticians will cleanse and anesthetize the targeted treatment areas. San Diego plastic surgeon, Dr. Sadrian, will penetrate your skin’s surface using 12 ultrafine microneedles, each set at a specific depth according to your skin’s condition and requirements. The depth of penetration varies for different skin conditions — wrinkles and fine lines necessitate shallow penetration while acne scars necessitate deeper penetration.
