SkinPen Microneedling

Smoother, more youthful-looking skin

How It Works

SkinPen Microneedling is a minimally invasive skincare procedure that uses fine, sterile needles to create controlled micro-injuries on the skin's surface. These micro-injuries trigger the body's natural healing response, promoting the production of new collagen and elastin, improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Benefits

Scar Reduction: Effective for diminishing acne scars, surgical scars, and other textured skin imperfections.
Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Helps smooth out early signs of aging by increasing collagen.
Skin Tightening: Improves skin firmness and elasticity.
Pigmentation & Tone: Can help in evening out skin tone and reducing hyperpigmentation.
Pore Size: Reduces the appearance of enlarged pores for a smoother skin surface.

*Multiple sessions (3-6) spaced about 4-6 weeks apart provide optimal results.

Procedure Details

The treatment typically lasts 30 to 90 minutes.
A topical numbing agent is often applied beforehand to minimize discomfort.
The device is moved across the skin to create the micro-injuries.
Patients may experience a mild prickling sensation during the procedure.

Downtime and Aftercare

Downtime: Usually ranges from 24 to 48 hours.
- Redness: Similar to a sunburn and can last a day or two.
- Swelling: Mild swelling may occur but generally resolves quickly.
Sensitivity: Skin may feel sensitive or tight.
Post-Treatment: Avoid direct sun exposure, use gentle cleansers, and apply moisturizers as recommended.
Makeup: Can typically be worn after a day or two, once redness subsides.
