Microneedling results
BEFORE & AFTER
what it feels like
Most clients experience a mild to moderate prickly sensation. A topical numbing cream is applied beforehand to ensure comfort throughout the treatment.
HOW IT WORKS
Microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This natural repair process strengthens the skin’s structure, improves texture, and enhances absorption of targeted serums applied during treatment.

VI Peel: Why We Are Obsessed With This Cult-Favorite Chemical Peel
The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to improve acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, and uneven texture—with manageable downtime and powerful collagen stimulation. At Proof Aesthetics in Carlsbad, we customize VI Peel treatments to target breakouts, melasma, scarring, and dull skin for visibly smoother, brighter results. Most clients see best outcomes with a series of treatments, making it a favorite for long-term skin rejuvenation in North County San Diego.
PDGF: The Regenerative Growth Factor Changing Skin Rejuvenation
Regenerative skin care is no longer a trend—it’s the future of aesthetic medicine. At Proof Aesthetics in Carlsbad, we use PDGF (Platelet-Derived Growth Factor) to stimulate your skin’s natural repair process, enhancing collagen production, improving texture, and accelerating healing after treatments like microneedling and laser resurfacing. Instead of simply resurfacing the skin, PDGF works at a cellular level to rebuild stronger, healthier tissue—making it a powerful option for those seeking long-term, structural skin improvement in North County San Diego.
IPL vs. Ultra 1927nm Laser: What’s the Difference and Why We Love Stacking Them
Sun damage? Texture? That dull, uneven thing you can’t quite put your finger on?
Here’s the truth: most people in Carlsbad don’t just have one skin concern. We have pigment from years of beach days, redness from coastal wind and sun, and subtle collagen loss that shows up as pores, crepey texture, or fine lines.
IPL clears the color.
Ultra 1927 rebuilds the quality.
And when you stack them? That’s when skin goes from “better” to editorial-level glow.
If you’ve been searching for the difference between IPL and laser resurfacing—or wondering which treatment actually gives you that lit-from-within look—this is the breakdown you’ve been waiting for.
