Microneedling in San Carlos, CA

At San Carlos IV Bar in San Carlos, CA, we offer the transformative Microneedling treatment, a highly effective procedure that stimulates collagen production and promotes skin rejuvenation. Microneedling works by using tiny, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface, triggering the body’s natural healing response. This process stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to improved skin texture, reduced scarring, and a more youthful complexion.

Microneedling can be performed on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. It is suitable for individuals of all skin types who want to address concerns such as wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture.
Results from Microneedling can typically be seen within a few weeks to a couple of months after the treatment. The collagen production process continues over time, so the full benefits may continue to develop for several months. Results can last for several months to years, depending on individual factors such as skincare routine, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices.

One of our favorite treatments here at San Carlos IV Bar. Microneedling improves the texture of your skin, softens fine lines and wrinkles, promotes collagen production, shrinks pore size, and improves scarring (whether it’s acne scars, surgical scars, or stretch marks). This treatment is also a great option for stubborn melasma, pigment, or sunspots. Microneedling is a procedure that involves puncturing the skin several million times (it sounds worse than it is!) with a medical device called the SkinPen. Numbing cream is applied before the procedure and most patients find the procedure quick and painless. It almost looks and sounds like an electric toothbrush, but allows the provider to completely control the depth of injury in a very precise and sterile way. The SkinPen is FDA approved and the only device San Carlos IV Bar offers- because it’s that good!
