Microneedling

SkinPen is a microneedling device that uses a sterile tip containing 12 pinpoint needles to make small, controlled, minuscule, evenly spaced punctures into the skin. The small wounds created by the tiny needles will sometimes cause pinpricks of blood to rise to the surface and then induce a wound-healing response in the body. The skin’s healing process prompts the production of collagen and elastin leading to overall improvement in skin elasticity and appearance. Your body rushes in to patch up the injury by growing fresh new collagen and elastin, which gives skin more strength and resiliency. By continuing to simulate collagen production over multiple treatments, the end result is patients will see fine lines and wrinkles disappear, enhance improvement in skin tone and texture, and even minimize enlarged pores and acne scars. The bottom line is, as we age, we lose collagen (1% per year, to be exact), and coupled with genetic changes and sun exposure, this leads to wrinkles. If we can stimulate collagen production, we can fight off wrinkles and keep our skin firm, plump and elastic, to create what Skin Pen patients refer to as an “overall youthful glow.”
