SkinPen

Microneedling is a minimally invasive treatment that enhances skin texture and tone by stimulating collagen production through controlled micro-injuries.

What Is SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, designed to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, increasing the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for youthful, firm skin. It's used to address various skin concerns, including acne scars, fine lines, enlarged pores, and uneven skin texture

How Does It Work?

1. Consultation: Before the treatment, you'll have a consultation where a skincare professional will assess your skin and discuss your goals.

2. Treatment Process: During the procedure, a topical numbing cream is applied for comfort, followed by the SkinPen device gliding over the skin to create thousands of micro-punctures. This stimulates collagen and elastin production

3. Post-Treatment: After the session, slight redness akin to a mild sunburn may occur, which typically subsides within 24-48 hours. Specialized serums may be applied to enhance healing and results

Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling

• Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen production to smoothen the skin surface

• Improves Acne Scars and Stretch Marks: Helps diminish the appearance of scars by encouraging the growth of new, healthy skin

• Enhances Skin Tone and Texture: Treats hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tones, resulting in a more uniform complexion

• Safe for All Skin Types: Unlike some treatments, SkinPen is safe for various skin tones and can be adapted to individual needs

• Minimal Downtime: Most patients can return to regular activities immediately after treatment with only minor discomfort

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

SkinPen is suitable for individuals looking to improve their skin's appearance, especially those with:

• Acne scars

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Enlarged pores

• Uneven skin texture or tone

However, it’s not recommended for individuals with active skin infections, certain bleeding disorders, or who are pregnant or breastfeeding

How Many Sessions Are Required?

Typically, a series of three to six treatments spaced approximately four to six weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. Maintenance sessions may also be suggested to sustain the benefits
