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 is safe for almost everyone over the age of 18. However, it is not recommended for patients who have a current acne breakout or flareup, chronic skin conditions, a history of keloids or abnormal scarring, or if you are pregnant.
​
SkinPen microneedling offers numerous advantages when compared with other cosmetic options that address scarring, fine lines, and wrinkles. These include -
​
-
Minimal downtime after the procedure
-
Effective for treating all skin types and tones
-
Short treatment times, generally 30-60 minutes
-
Minimal to no discomfort
-
Harnessing the body’s own natural healing ability
-
Precise control of treatment depth​
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, leading to smoother, more radiant, and younger looking skin.
