Understanding Your Microneedling Options
Microneedling, or Collagen Induction Therapy. We use the DP4 (Dermapen 4), the world's first fully digital microneedling device. Its advanced technology offers faster treatment times and a dedicated scar setting for superior revision of deep acne scars and texture issues. By creating controlled micro-channels in the skin, we trigger your body's natural healing response to produce fresh collagen and elastin.
At Call of Beauty MedSpa in Encinitas, we offer three distinct levels of treatment: Signature Microneedling for maintenance, PRP Microneedling for deep rejuvenation, and Exosome Microneedling for maximum regeneration. Our registered nurses will help you choose the right protocol for your skin goals.
How Microneedling Works
DP4 Digital Precision
The world's first fully digital device for consistent, safe results.
The Healing Cascade
This process releases growth factors that stimulate collagen and elastin production. Over weeks, skin becomes thicker, firmer, and smoother—reducing scars and fine lines.
Comparing Your Treatment Options
While the mechanical action of microneedling is powerful on its own, adding biological boosters can significantly enhance your outcome.
Signature Microneedling (with HA)
Uses Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate while needling. Best for general maintenance, texture improvement, and 'pre-juvenation' for younger skin.
PRP Microneedling
Uses your own Platelet-Rich Plasma. The growth factors in your blood speed up healing and boost collagen production. Ideal for acne scars and anti-aging.
Exosome Microneedling
Uses lab-purified stem cell exosomes. These potent messengers reduce inflammation and downtime while maximizing regeneration. The most advanced option available.

What to Expect
Day of Treatment
You'll look and feel like you have a mild to moderate sunburn. Skin may feel tight and warm.
Is DP4 better than other devices?
Yes. The DP4 is fully digital, allowing for precise depth adjustments and faster treatment speeds (up to 1,920 holes per second). It also features a dedicated scar setting for treating deep, fibrous tissue.
Initial Recovery (Days 1-3)
Redness fades to pink. You may experience mild peeling or flaking as old skin sheds. Keep skin hydrated and protected.
Results Emerge (Week 1-2)
Skin looks brighter and smoother as the surface heals. The 'glow' begins.
Peak Results (Month 3-6)
Collagen production peaks. Scars soften and lines diminish. Results continue to improve with each session.
Maintenance
We recommend a series of 3-6 treatments for correction, followed by maintenance every 4-6 months.

Lifestyle Tips for Best Results
Living in coastal North County means year-round sun exposure. Protecting your skin helps extend your results.
Avoid direct sun for 48 hours. Wear a hat at the beach. Daily SPF is mandatory.
Change your pillowcase the night of treatment. Avoid sweating/gym for 24 hours.
Drink plenty of water and use our recommended post-procedure hydration products.
Collagen takes time to build. Trust the process and complete your recommended series.
