Micro-needling also known as collagen induction therapy is a minimally invasive treatment to rejuvenate the skin. SkinPen is a device with fine needles that creates tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which triggers the body to create new collagen and elastin. Results can include improved texture and firmness, as well as a reduction in scars, pore size, and stretch marks. Micro-needling may also be combined with a topical treatment, like antioxidants, growth factors and other vitamin-rich serum.
Micro-needling is beneficial for anyone who is able to receive a series of treatments. Micro-Needling is a healthy way to improve skin texture and tone, decrease the visibility of any scarring or stretch marks, and give your skin an overall glow. Once the repair process comes into effect, the epidermis stimulates elastic and collagen and you’ll begin to see the long term results!
Microneedling can be done in any area of the body. Is effective for treating wrinkles and sun damaged skin in the face, neck, chest and hands, acne scars on the face and back, as well as stretch marks on the abdomen and thighs.
Immediately after the treatment you will notice a bright redness to the skin.The total healing time depends on the setting used and the number of overlapping passes your skincare professional performs. On average, patients are red up to 2 to 4 days. Many patients heal completely in as little as 24 hours.
Patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin. Visible changes to the skin develop over the course of several days and weeks. Results can continue to improve up to 6 months. It is essential to do several treatments for your skin to build collagen.
