SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling procedure that uses small-gauge needles to create micro-injuries, triggering the skin’s natural healing response and increasing the production of collagen and elastin without leading to new or additional scar tissue formation. SkinPen is the first microneedling device cleared by the FDA! Clinical studies have continuously shown a 400% increase in collagen production after a series of treatments scheduled 4-6 weeks apart.
​
Because microneedling is a conservative and minimally invasive treatment, it’s safe for almost everyone over the age of 18. However, it’s not recommended for patients if they have a current acne breakout, flareup, chronic skin condition, a history of keloids or abnormal scarring, or if you’re pregnant.
​
Compared with other cosmetic options recommended to address scarring, fine lines, and wrinkles, the SkinPen microneedling procedure offers numerous advantages, including:
​
-
Minimal downtime after the procedure
-
Effective for treating all skin types and tones
-
Short treatment times of 30 minutes to an hour
-
Comfortable and conservative procedure
-
Safe treatment that harnesses the body’s natural healing ability
-
Sterile cartridge with precise control over the depth of needles
​
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.
