What is SkinPen Microneedling?

Microneedling reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and provides excellent results in improving the appearance of acne scars. It is recommended to undergo a series of three treatments with SkinPen microneedling for optimal results spaced thirty days apart.

The SkinPen, the first device approved by the FDA, is a small tool with multiple tiny needles that penetrates the top layer (epidermis) of your skin with controlled micro-injuries that, in turn, releases cytokines and stimulates the body's natural healing response with collagen and other growth factors. The use of microneedling has shown a vast reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, scars, and stretch marks.

How do I know if Microneedling is right for me?

The use of microneedling has shown a vast reduction in the appearance of the following skin conditions:

Fine wrinkles on your face, neck, and body
Acne or trauma scars

SkinPen Microneedling is indicated for patients older than 22 years of age wanting to achieve a significant level of skin renewal. Microneedling is effective in all skin types. With minimal downtime it is perfect for the patient with a busy schedule.

SkinPen Microneedling Procedure

Treatments are very comfortable. Our SkinPen Microneedling procedure is done in the office and only requires the application of numbing cream. Treatment takes about 30 minutes to one hour and will vary depending on the size, the number of areas treated, and the intensity of the treatment needed.

The SkinPen is fitted with a cartridge containing needles customized for each patient. You may feel a slight warming and vibration sensation from the SkinPen during your treatment. The SkinPen is versatile to use on the face, neck, chest, and decolletage area because of the variable depth of its needles.
