Microneedling

The SkinPen Precision is the only FDA-approved microneedling device in the US. It is the only device that has been clinically proven to be safe and effective. The SkinPen slides along the skin, penetrating the upper layers of the skin to a depth of up to 2.5 mm to create numerous tiny needle wounds. The procedure prompts the body to respond through the creation of new collagen and elastin fibers. In response to the stimulus, the skin plumps and thickens, reducing the appearance of scars and fine lines, and wrinkles.

• Mild to moderate acne scarring; any new or old scars
• Fine lines and wrinkles;
• Loose, lax skin;
• Skin texture and pore size
• Stretch marks
• Sun-damage
• Age spots
• Blotchy skin coloring

Most people will experience redness and mild swelling similar to a mild sunburn for 24-48 hours, and there may be minimal pin-point bleeding. Within a week or two, you will notice that your skin is smoother and more radiant looking, but the full effects won’t be seen until a few months later.

Microneedling can be safely repeated every 4-6 weeks until you achieve the desired results. We recommend starting with 4 treatments for collagen induction, but with a minimum separation time of 4 to 6 weeks between treatments. For scar reduction, an average of 3 to 6 treatments are recommended. The number of treatments required will depend on how each individual responds to the treatments and the extent of the damage at the beginning. Microneedling can be used on all skin parts of the body (neck, décolleté, arms, legs, etc). Most people will begin to see results after the very first appointment.

To ensure the right healing environment, for 2-3 days, do not use AHA’s (glycolic Acid), retinol, acidic or “active” ingredients. You should also avoid exposure to the sun, or you should use a zinc-based sunblock.
