What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that is designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars and overall skin texture by stimulating collagen production.
How Does it Work?
During a SkinPen Microneedling session, a handheld device equipped with fine needles is gently passed over the skin’s surface. These microneedles create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body’s natural healing response. As the skin repairs itself, collagen and elastin production increases, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling:
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Minimizes acne scars and other surface irregularities
- Enhances overall skin rejuvenation
- Safe for all skin types and tones
- Minimal downtime compared to other cosmetic procedures
Before and After
What to expect during treatment:
Before the procedure, your provider will apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort during the session. The SkinPen device will then be gently applied to the treatment area, creating precise micro-injuries in the skin.
During the treatment, you may experience a mild tingling or pricking sensation, but the procedure is generally well-tolerated. Depending on the size and location of the treatment area, sessions typically last 30 to 60 minutes.
Recovery and Results:
Following the procedure, you may experience redness, swelling, and mild discomfort similar to a sunburn. These side effects typically subside within a few days. Over the following weeks and months, you’ll notice gradual improvements in your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance as collagen and elastin production increases.
It may take three to six Microneedling treatments before optimal results are achieved. The treatments can be performed within one month of each other.
