Microneedling

SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body's natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production for improved skin texture and appearance.

SkinPen microneedling can help address a range of skin concerns including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, enlarged pores, stretch marks, and overall skin texture irregularities.

SkinPen microneedling is generally well-tolerated, with most clients experiencing only mild discomfort. A topical numbing cream is applied before the procedure to minimize any potential discomfort.

The duration of a SkinPen microneedling session can vary, but it typically takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the treatment area and the specific concerns being addressed.

The recommended number of sessions can vary based on individual skin concerns and goals. However, many people see noticeable improvements after a series of three to six treatments spaced about four to six weeks apart.

There is usually minimal downtime associated with SkinPen microneedling. Clients may experience redness and mild swelling immediately after the procedure, which typically subsides within a day or two. Makeup can usually be applied the day after treatment.

Initial results can be seen within a few days after the treatment, with gradual improvements over the following weeks as collagen and elastin production is stimulated. The full effects of the treatment may become more apparent after a few months.

Side effects are generally minimal and temporary. They may include redness, swelling, mild discomfort, and rarely, pinpoint bleeding. Adhering to post-treatment care instructions can help minimize these potential side effects.

SkinPen microneedling is suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones. It can benefit individuals looking to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of acne and other scars, wrinkles, and stretch marks, and enhance overall skin quality.

Yes, SkinPen microneedling can be combined with other treatments such as topical serums, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, and certain laser treatments to enhance results. Our providers can recommend the best combination based on your specific needs and goals.
