SkinPen® Microneedling

 

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF SKINPEN MICRONEEDLING?
In addition to producing results that can last for four to six weeks, there are many other benefits of SkinPen microneedling. Whether you have age-related concerns or you simply want to enhance the appearance of your skin, these benefits can improve most aspects of your skin concerns.

Improve Skin Tone and Texture

Microneedling is a unique treatment that can address both skin tone and skin texture problems. When you use microneedling treatments, your skin responds by turning over new skin cells and increasing the production of collagen, fibrin, and elastin deep within the dermal layers of your skin.

For this reason, regularly having microneedling treatments can greatly improve superficial concerns such as dark spots, fine lines, sun damage, inflammation, enlarged pores, and much more.

Reduce Scarring

Certain types of scars are highly responsive to microneedling treatments. For example, acne scars such as rolling scars and boxcar scars can be moderately improved with repeated microneedling treatments. Keloid scars and other raised scars also improve after microneedling. The ability to reduce scarring and improve skin texture can have a great impact on your appearance.

Manage Acne-Prone Skin

Acne-prone skin often has multiple challenges, but microneedling can be one way to manage breakouts. When you use microneedling, the increased healing factors can reduce inflammation on your skin, unclog pores, and turn over new skin cells that make it easier to control acne.

Enhance Product Absorption

Regular microneedling appointments can also enhance the absorption of certain skin care products. In particular, during the first week after your microneedling treatment, your skin care products will absorb more easily into your skin and will have more beneficial effects. In addition to enhancing product absorption, certain skin care products such as retinol and hyaluronic acid can transform your skinWHAT



















SHOULD YOU DO AFTER TREATMENT?
For the first 24 hours after your treatment, you should avoid hot water, makeup, and harsh cleansers on your skin. During the first few days, you should avoid exfoliating chemicals or other irritating skin products. About a week after your treatment, you will be able to lightly exfoliate your skin to unveil fresh, natural-looking results. You may be given additional aftercare instructions to follow for best results.

IS THERE A BEST AGE FOR THIS TREATMENT?
You can use this treatment at any age to enhance the appearance of your skin. Microneedling can be customized to meet your specific skin concerns, which means that both young people and mature people can use this treatment to increase collagen production and accelerate cellular turnover.

IS THERE A BEST TIME FOR THIS TREATMENT?
Because it will take about two weeks for your skin to fully recover and your results to become noticeable, it’s generally a good idea to schedule this treatment at least two weeks before any important life events. Other than that, you can have this treatment throughout the year to manage the appearance of your skin.

ARE YOU A GOOD CANDIDATE?
Most people are good candidates for microneedling treatments. This minimally invasive treatment can correct both pigmented and textural skin concerns. Candidates for this treatment often include those who are not good matches for laser treatments. Please discuss using this treatment if you are currently pregnant.
