Non Surgical Microneedling

William Umansky, MD and Jeffrey Umansky, MD are excited to offer a revolutionary skincare treatment at Umansky Plastic Surgery and U Laser MedSpa – San Diego: Microneedling with SkinPen.

Transform your skin with microneedling treatment here in San Diego. We are proud to offer Bellus Medical’s SkinPen, the only FDA-cleared Micropen treatment. Clinically proven to safely and effectively treat deep or pitted facial acne scars in as few as three treatments scheduled a month apart, with improvements continuing to appear over the next 6 months, the SkinPen can also be used to treat and improve the appearance of fine lines, pore size and overall skin tone and texture, and can be used across the face and body.

Microneedling treatment in San Diego

Microneedling treatment (Also known as Collagen Induction Therapy) involves the use of medical-grade micro needles, which are used to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This stimulates the skin’s own healing response in a highly targeted manner, kick-starting the production of new collagen and elastin in the deeper dermal layers of the face. As the skin heals, the appearance and quality of your skin will be greatly improved, looking firmer and smoother.

With as few as three non-invasive and affordable treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your appearance – and step out with confidence. Improvements will continue to develop for up to six months after your last treatment.

What Are The Benefits?

Microneedling treatments are safe for all skin types and tones. Because the micro-injuries trigger the body’s own natural healing process, the treatment will not trigger any allergic responses. Compared to other Micropen treatment devices, SkinPen offers unbeatable safety, minimizing cellular damage while still inducing collagen production. A microneedling treatment with SkinPen is 100% natural and involves less downtime than other Micropen treatment devices while also delivering outstanding results. While some patients may notice a little flaking of dead skin cells a day or two after treatment, there will not be any significant peeling.

These are some of the conditions that can be improved through medical-grade microneedling treatment:

  • Acne scars
  • Stretch marks
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Melasma
  • Loose and lax skin
  • Large pores
  • Surgical scars
  • Hair loss

microneedling before and after

Microneedling treatment is inexpensive compared to laser treatments and can be used anywhere on the body to help with scars, age-spots and aging skin. Our highly competitive pricing allows our patients to reap the long lasting benefits of microneedling at a great value. Medical grade Micropen treatments transform the structure of the skin from the inside out, making it an excellent complement to fillers and other injectables as well.

After two weeks of receiving a microneedling treatment, most patients notice:

  • Forehead lines are dramatically softened
  • Pigmentation is significantly lighter and overall skin tone is more even
  • A reduction in pore size
  • Acne scars become less visible
  • Improved appearance of the fine lines around the eyes
  • Softened lines around the mouth area
  • Tightened jaw line and improved lines and wrinkles in the neck area

Why SkinPen Microneedling is one of the best acne scar treatments

for results

Acne scars can be one of the most challenging skin concerns to address, but SkinPen microneedling offers a breakthrough solution that delivers remarkable results. This FDA-cleared device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering your body’s natural healing response and stimulating collagen production exactly where it’s needed most.

What sets SkinPen apart for acne scar treatment is its precision and ability to target various scar types effectively. The adjustable needle depth allows our skilled practitioners to customize treatment intensity based on your specific scar characteristics, whether you’re dealing with rolling scars, boxcar scars, or ice pick scars. Unlike more aggressive treatments, SkinPen works with your skin’s natural regenerative processes rather than against them.

The collagen remodeling process continues for months after treatment, gradually improving skin texture and reducing scar visibility. Many patients see a significant improvement in acne scar appearance after just three to six sessions, with results that continue to enhance over time.
