Microneedling & PRP
Advanced skin rejuvenation designed to improve texture, fine lines, acne scarring, visible pores and overall skin quality by supporting your skin's natural renewal process.
Glowtox is bringing Dermapen 4 microneedling to San Diego, adding highly customizable microneedling technology to our regenerative aesthetic treatment options.
Improve Texture
Target uneven texture, enlarged pores, acne scarring and rough or dull-looking skin.
Support Collagen
Controlled microchannels stimulate the skin's natural renewal and collagen-remodeling processes.
Personalized Treatment
Treatment depth can be adjusted based on the area, concern and your individual skin.
What Is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that creates thousands of tiny, controlled microchannels in the skin.
These microchannels stimulate the skin's natural renewal processes and encourage collagen and elastin production — two proteins that play an important role in smooth, firm and healthy-looking skin.
Over time, this process can help improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, enlarged pores, uneven texture, sun-damaged skin and overall skin quality.
Why Dermapen 4?
Not all microneedling treatments are the same. The technology being used affects how precisely your provider can customize treatment for different areas of your skin.
Dermapen 4 uses oscillating vertical needle technology to create precise microchannels while allowing treatment depth to be adjusted throughout the procedure.
- Adjustable treatment depth
- Precise vertical microchannel technology
- Different facial areas can be treated differently
- Personalized around your individual skin concerns
One Technology. Multiple Skin Concerns.
Your Glowtox provider can customize treatment based on what you're hoping to improve rather than treating every patient or every area of the face the same way.
Acne Scarring
Support skin remodeling to improve the appearance of certain types of acne scars.
Fine Lines
Encourage collagen renewal to soften the appearance of fine lines and early signs of aging.
Uneven Texture
Improve the appearance of rough or irregular skin texture.
Visible Pores
Support smoother-looking skin and improve the visible appearance of enlarged pores.
Sun-Damaged Skin
Support overall skin renewal in skin showing visible signs of cumulative environmental exposure.
Dull Skin
Promote renewal for skin that appears smoother, fresher and more refined.
Your Entire Face Doesn't Need the Same Treatment
The delicate skin around the eyes may require a different approach than acne scarring on the cheeks or texture concerns on the forehead.
Dermapen 4 allows treatment depth to be adjusted throughout the procedure, helping your provider customize treatment area by area.
That's a natural fit with the Glowtox philosophy: evaluate first, customize second, and avoid one-size-fits-all treatment.
Regenerative Results That Build Over Time
Collagen remodeling is a gradual process. Regenerative treatments are designed to work with your body's own renewal processes rather than relying solely on an immediate cosmetic change.
Your provider can help determine whether microneedling, PRP, laser treatment or a combination approach makes the most sense for your skin and goals.
Microneedling + PRP
PRP gives us another regenerative option that can be incorporated into a personalized treatment plan for skin or hair.
PRP for Skin
PRP, or platelet-rich plasma, is prepared from a small sample of your own blood. The platelet-rich portion is concentrated and used as part of a regenerative aesthetic treatment.
When appropriate, your provider may recommend incorporating PRP with microneedling as part of a broader skin rejuvenation plan.
PRP Hair Restoration
PRP can also be used as part of a treatment approach for certain patients experiencing hair thinning.
Because hair loss can have multiple causes, your provider will evaluate your history and goals before determining whether PRP is appropriate and recommending a treatment plan.
What to Expect
Consultation
We evaluate your skin, concerns, history and treatment goals.
Preparation
The skin is prepared and topical numbing cream may be applied to improve comfort.
Treatment
Dermapen 4 is moved across the treatment area while your provider adjusts treatment based on your skin and the area being addressed. Treatments commonly take approximately 30–60 minutes depending on area.
Aftercare
Temporary redness similar to a mild sunburn may occur. Your provider will give you individualized post-treatment instructions.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
There isn't one treatment schedule that's right for everyone. Collagen remodeling develops gradually, and a series of treatments may be recommended depending on what you're trying to improve.
Your Glowtox provider will build a plan based on your skin concerns, treatment goals, skin condition and desired outcome.
Microneedling & PRP FAQs
What does microneedling do?
Microneedling creates controlled microchannels in the skin, triggering a natural renewal response that supports collagen and elastin production and can improve texture, fine lines, pores and certain types of scarring.
What is Dermapen 4?
Dermapen 4 is a professional microneedling device that uses oscillating vertical needles to create precise microchannels. Treatment depth can be adjusted during the procedure to customize treatment for different areas and concerns.
Is Dermapen 4 available at Glowtox now?
Dermapen 4 is coming soon to Glowtox Aesthetics. Contact us for current availability and launch information.
Does microneedling hurt?
Comfort varies by patient and treatment area. Topical numbing cream may be used before treatment. Many patients describe the treatment sensation as vibration or pressure.
How much downtime should I expect?
Temporary redness, warmth or sensitivity can occur after microneedling. Recovery varies with treatment intensity and individual skin response.
What's the difference between microneedling and microneedling with PRP?
Microneedling creates controlled microchannels to stimulate the skin's renewal response. PRP uses a platelet-rich portion of your own blood as an additional regenerative component when recommended by your provider.
Can microneedling help acne scars?
Microneedling may improve the appearance of certain types of acne scarring by supporting controlled skin remodeling. Your provider will evaluate the type and severity of scarring before recommending treatment.
Should I choose microneedling, BBL HEROic or MOXI?
These technologies address different concerns. Your best option depends on factors such as pigmentation, texture, scarring, sun damage and overall skin goals. Some patients may benefit from a combination treatment plan.
