Microneedling

A 45 minute skin rejuvenation process featuring state-of-the-art technology by SkinPen, the only FDA approved microneedling device! Microneedling uses tiny needles to create hundreds of vertical microscopic channels in the skin. This process stimulates your skin’s natural ability to heal itself through the production of new collagen and elastin.

Resurfacing the top layers of the skin helps improve skin texture, provide a more even skin tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, stretch marks and acne scarring.

It can be safely used on all parts of the body the face, neck and décolletage (the area that of your chest that is exposed when you wear a top with a lower neckline). It helps improve:

• Mild to moderate acne scarring; any new or old scars by stimulating new collagen fibers that elevate the depressed scar tissue
• Fine lines and wrinkles;
• Stretch marks
• Sun damage (sun spots)
• Age and brown spots
• Uneven skin tone
• Large pore size
• Dramatically increases the effectiveness and penetration of active ingredients in topical preparations
• Stimulates circulation and collagen production

The device slides along the skin, penetrating the upper layers of the skin to a depth of up to 2mm 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.

The inflammatory reaction of the skin is extremely short and fades significantly within hours from redness to pinkish that may last for 12 to 48 hours. 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. For collagen induction we recommend to start with 3 treatments, 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.

There are virtually no negative side effects, and none have ever been reported in over 150,000 procedures performed worldwide.

YES! Medical microneedling can be safely performed on all skin types and all skin colors due to the epidermis and in particular, melanocytes in the basal area are left intact. There is minimal risk of post inflammatory hyper-pigmentation. Skin microneedling can treat sensitive and fragile areas that are difficult to treat with other procedures. These areas include the eyes, the neck and the back of the hands.
