SkinPen® Microneedling

Hitting reset on your skin can be as simple as a 30-minute microneedling treatment. SkinPen creates micro-channels (microscopic holes) 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.

What is Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a device with tiny, sterile needles to create small punctures in the skin. These tiny punctures stimulate the body’s natural healing process and encourage the production of collagen and elastin, which are important for maintaining healthy, youthful-looking skin.

SkinPen is a brand of microneedling device that is designed to be safe and effective for all skin types. It is the only microneedling device on the market that is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to improve the appearance of acne scars.

How it works

SkinPen microneedling is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of the skin and address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone and texture. It’s a great option for anyone who wants to achieve a more youthful, radiant complexion. The process of SkinPen microneedling treatment typically involves the following steps: 

Cleanse

The treatment area is cleansed and prepped with an antiseptic solution.

Numbing

A topical numbing cream may be applied to the skin to minimize any discomfort during the treatment.

Microneedling

The SkinPen device is gently moved over the treatment area, creating tiny punctures in the skin. The depth and speed of the needles can be adjusted to customize the treatment for each patient.

Hydration

After the microneedling is complete, a hydrating serum or other treatment product may be applied to the skin to nourish and hydrate the newly created microchannels.
