about SKinpen treatment

SkinPen gives your skin the reset that it needs in as few as three treatments. It creates micro-channels at a rate of 1600 per second. These wounds stimulate your skin, kicking its healing process into high gear. Best of all, SkinPen doesn’t rely on heat or chemicals, so the results are natural and safe for all skin tones and types. SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device proven to improve the appearance of acne scars and wrinkles on the neck. SkinPen rejuvenates from the inside out for younger looking skin, proven safe and effective, delivering results that last up to six months. SkinPen is a quick-and-easy treatment with little to no downtime.

SkinPen’s micro-needles pierce the skin, triggering your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue. The micro-wounds created by SkinPen are rebuilt with new granulation cells that include collagen proteins. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops. Remodeling the wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels which are composed of rich collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin youthfulness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is SkinPen microneedling?
The SkinPen microneedling treatment creates micro-channels at a rate of 1600 per second. These wounds stimulate your skin, kicking its healing process into high gear, stimulating collagen production.

Q. What skin conditions does it treat?
The SkinPen microneedling treatment is ideal for improving aging skin, photodamage, fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck, scars, and acne scars. The treatment is safe and effective, and suitable for all skin types and patients seeking skin revitalization.

Q. How does it work?
Microneedling creates millions of controlled micro channels in the skin. This jump starts the production of collagen and elastin and encourages the release of growth factors that recruit and increase reparative cells. The result is a cascade of healing processes that can continue for months following your treatment. The SkinPen microneedling treatment lasts approximately 30 minutes. Depending on whether an anesthetic is used prior to treatment, your entire treatment session may last up to one hour- still plenty of time to schedule your treatment before work or during your lunch hour. Be sure to speak with your provider before you come to get an accurate estimate, so you know how to plan your visit.

Q. How many treatments will I need?
Patients typically need 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, to achieve optimal results. Most patients report seeing improvement after the second treatment however results are optimized 3 months after the last treatment.

Q. What is the procedure like?
The SkinPen microneedling treatment is an easy, safe and effective procedure that can be performed in a 30-60 minute treatment session. During the treatment, you will feel a slight heating and some pressure on the treatment area. For most patients, the treatment is tolerable but your physician will work with you to maximize your comfort level. Prior to the procedure, your provider will apply a numbing cream to the treatment area to increase comfort during the treatment.

Q. What can I expect after my procedure?
Your skin may initially appear slightly pink to red, similar to a mild sunburn. This is normal and should subside within 24 to 72 hours. Some people see rejuvenated skin after just one treatment, and results may continue to improve for three to six months following your last treatment
