Understanding Your Microneedling Options
Microneedling is collagen induction therapy: a controlled series of micro-channels that asks the skin to repair itself with fresh collagen and elastin. At Call of Beauty, the treatment is performed with the DP4 (Dermapen 4), a fully digital microneedling device with precise depth control and a scar setting for acne-scar and texture work.
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. Driving up from the city?

Key Takeaways
- 1
Digital Precision
The DP4 Dermapen creates 1,920 micro-channels per second with fully digital depth control for consistent results across every treatment zone.
- 2
Comfortable Experience
With prescription-strength numbing, patients feel only a gentle vibration as the device glides across the skin. The full treatment takes about 60 minutes.
- 3
Minimal Downtime
Expect sunburn-like redness for 24-48 hours. Collagen production ramps up over the following 4-6 weeks with progressive skin improvement.
Olga Brener · Expert Insight
“The DP4 is the only fully digital microneedling device we trust. Analog pens can drag and create uneven punctures — the digital motor keeps every micro-channel perfectly perpendicular. That precision is what makes the difference in scar revision and texture improvement.”
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.
Add-On: VAMP PDRN + Antioxidants
Pairs PDRN (polynucleotides) with antioxidants, applied after needling to support hydration and recovery. A $100 add-on to any microneedling session for a limited time, or included in our Skin Resurfacing package: 3 treatments with VAMP PDRN for $1,800.
Common Treatment Areas

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.
During the Treatment Pass
Your RN adjusts the DP4 depth by zone: shallower for delicate areas, deeper for texture and acne scars. Serum, PRP, or exosomes are applied as the channels are created.
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.

Each protocol solves a different problem. Signature microneedling is the maintenance option, PRP is strongest for acne scars and collagen support, and exosomes are best when faster recovery or inflammation control matters.
