MICRONEEDLING

Microneedling is a versatile, minimally invasive treatment that harnesses the body's natural healing abilities to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This process helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections, resulting in smoother, more youthful skin.

REJUVENATE YOUR SKIN

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that creates micro-wounds in the skin to stimulate collagen production. This multipurpose treatment leverages the body’s natural healing process to address various skin conditions, such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture. To achieve optimal results, a series of multiple treatments is typically recommended.

ABOUT MICRONEEDLING

WHAT IT IS

Microneedling utilizes a handheld device equipped with extremely sharp, sterile needles to puncture the skin. These micro-wounds trigger the skin’s healing process, leading to increased production of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins for skin health and vitality. The treatment effectively rejuvenates the skin, improving its overall texture and appearance.

HOW IT WORKS

Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Preparation: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and a numbing cream will be applied to ensure comfort during the treatment.

  2. Treatment: During the procedure, you may feel some warmth and a scratching/pulling sensation as the device moves over your skin. The numbing cream helps keep pain to a minimum.

  3. Post-Treatment: Immediately after treatment, your skin will likely be red and swollen, which can last up to a few days. You can return to your normal routine immediately, but it’s important to stay out of the sun until your skin heals.

WHAT TO EXPECT

FAQs

  • Microneedling with SkinPen is suitable for most skin types and can be customized to address a variety of skin concerns, including signs of aging, acne scars, and uneven texture. However, individuals with certain skin conditions or sensitivities may not be suitable candidates for this treatment. It is recommended to have a consultation to determine if microneedling with SkinPen is right for you.

  • SkinPen is the first FDA-approved microneedling treatment and is:
    ✓ Clinically tested and proven.
    ✓ Backed by an unparalleled commitment to safety and efficacy.
    ✓ Performed by leading dermatologists and aestheticians.
    ✓ Convenient, requiring little to no downtime.

  • The SkinPen treatment works in three simple steps, designed to activate the skin’s natural healing process. Following each session, the skin begins to heal itself, looking more renewed and rejuvenated over time. SkinPen is only used in professional settings and delivers dramatic results without the use of heat or chemicals.

    Inflammation

    SkinPen’s microneedles penetrate the skin’s surface, triggering a natural immune response to disinfect, remove debris, increase blood flow, and activate the creation of new tissue.

    Proliferation

    The micro-channels or tiny holes created by SkinPen are rebuilt with new granulation cells that include collagen proteins. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

    Remodeling

    New dermal tissues form, rich in collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin quality, visibly reducing facial acne scars and neck wrinkles, leaving skin more smooth, radiant, and younger-looking.

  • Common side effects of microneedling with SkinPen® may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort during the recovery period. These side effects are typically mild and resolve on their own within a few days. Serious complications are rare but may include infection or changes in skin pigmentation.

    The results of microneedling with SkinPen are typically noticeable within a few weeks to months following treatment as the skin undergoes the renewal process. Continued improvement may be seen over time as collagen production is stimulated and new, healthier skin cells emerge.

  • The number of microneedling sessions required varies based on individual skin conditions and desired results. Typically, a series of multiple treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for optimal results. During your consultation, our experienced practitioners will assess your skin and develop a personalized treatment plan.

  • Microneedling is generally well-tolerated. While the procedure involves some discomfort, the application of a topical numbing cream significantly reduces any pain. Most clients report only mild sensations during the treatment.

  • Microneedling involves minimal downtime. Post-treatment redness and swelling typically subside within a few days. You can resume your normal activities immediately, but it’s crucial to avoid sun exposure until your skin has fully healed.

  • Microneedling stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in long-lasting improvements to the skin’s texture and appearance. With proper skin care and maintenance, the results can be sustained over time.

  • Before your microneedling appointment, it’s essential to inform your medical provider about any medications, supplements, or skin conditions you have. Avoid using any harsh skincare products or treatments before the procedure. During your consultation, our practitioners will provide specific pre-treatment instructions to ensure the best results.
