What is SkinPen Microneedling?
The SkinPen is an innovative and remarkable treatment, designed to address numerous skin concerns. The SkinPen is beneficial for essentially all skin types throughout the year.
SkinPen microneedling is the market leader amongst all microneedling devices, which harnesses the natural healing mechanisms of the skin to address a variety of concerns. The treatment involves the use of a medical-grade device equipped with fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries to the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes, promoting collagen and elastin production.
About SkinPen Microneedling and How it Works
Collagen Induction: The tiny, controlled injuries induced by SkinPen trigger the skin’s collagen induction response. Collagen, a vital protein responsible for skin elasticity, is produced in abundance, promoting a firmer and more supple complexion.
Enhanced Absorption: The micro-channels created during microneedling enhance the absorption of topical serums and skincare products. This allows for better penetration of active ingredients, maximizing their effectiveness in nourishing and rejuvenating the skin.
Who will benefit from SkinPen Microneedling:
SkinPen Microneedling is suitable for numerous skin concerns, individuals looking to address:
- Fine lines
- Acne scars
- Uneven skin texture/tone
- Hyperpigmentation
- Enlarged pores
It is an ideal treatment for those seeking skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime. Microneedling is safe for most skin types, however, a consultation with your practitioner will ensure it’s the correct treatment to address your individual concerns.
What to Expect during your SkinPen Microneedling Treatment:
Before proceeding with treatment, a consultation to assess your skin’s needs and suitability will be undertaken. The treatment starts with the application of a numbing cream to ensure comfort during the treatment. The SkinPen device is then gently moved over the treatment areas, which typically takes 30–60 minutes.
Downtime: SkinPen microneedling is renowned for its minimal downtime. Following the treatment, patients typically experience mild redness and slight swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, which typically resolves within a few hours to a day.
