SkinPen Microneedling is an FDA-approved, minimally invasive treatment that uses a microarray of fine-tipped needles to create tiny channels in the skin. This process activates the wound healing pathway and stimulates the creation of new collagen in the dermis and regeneration of cells in the epidermis leading to a smoother more youthful appearance.
Features:
Safe for all skin types: Skinpen has been tested in all skin types safely and may be performed year-round.
Minimal downtime: Most patients resume normal activities immediately with only mild redness that resolves over hours to 1 day.
Versatile treatment to address multiple concerns:
Primary uses:
- Diminishing acne scars
- Minimizing fine lines and wrinkles
- Smoothing uneven texture
- Reducing redness
- Lightening pigmentation of melasma when combined with other treatments.
A series of three to six monthly treatments is recommended for correction. Individual treatments may be done as desired for ongoing maintenance.
For those with more advanced signs of aging and skin laxity or with deeper acne scars, microneedling with radiofrequency (Genius) is a consideration for a more intensive treatment approach with greater collagen stimulating capabilities.
