Rejuvenate your skin to help minimize the signs of aging, improve the appearance of scars, and refresh aging skin.
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, works to stimulate the body’s natural wound healing process. These micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to the generation of new collagen and elastin.
How is microneedling performed?
Microneedling can be performed using SkinPen®, a medical-grade, state-of-the-art microneedling tool available only through medical professionals. The treatment typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and number of areas treated and the degree of treatment requested by the patient.
How does SkinPen® work?
SkinPen® works by creating a series of microscopic channels into the dermis to stimulate the skin’s natural production of new collagen and elastin, helping skin to look and feel healthier. SkinPen® needles cycle at 100+ stamps per second, potentially creating 1600+ microchannels per second when moving the SkinPen®.
What areas of the skin can be treated?
SkinPen’s® variable needle depth allows for maximum versatility, making it safe and effective to use on many parts of the body, including the face, neck and décolletage. Talk to your SkinPen® provider to discuss your specific needs.
What can I expect during treatment?
A topical anesthetic is applied prior to treatment. Generally, patients report feeling just the slight vibration of the SkinPen® during the treatment.
Is there downtime after microneedling?
The total healing time depends on each individual. Most patients have some slight swelling and redness (like a mild to moderate sunburn) for two to four days following the microneedling procedure. Some people may see their skin return to normal in about 24 hours.
When will I see results?
The natural repair process of your own skin continues to progress over several weeks. Damage that has occurred over time won’t disappear immediately. You may not see the final result for up to six months following your final session, though individual results will vary.
How many treatments are recommended?
The number of procedures required will be based upon your procedure goals and the overall health of your skin. Most patients receive a series of three procedures spaced about four weeks apart.
