ABOUT MICRONEEDLING
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that creates micro wounds in the skin to stimulate collagen production. This multi purpose treatment takes advantage of the body’s natural healing process to treat a variety of skin conditions. To achieve optimal results, a series of multiple treatments is typically recommended.
WHAT IT IS
Microneedling uses a handheld device that uses extremely sharp, sterile needles to puncture the skin. This damage to the skin helps stimulate your skin’s healing process, which includes the increased production of collagen and elastin, two crucial proteins for skin health.
HOW IT WORKS
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and a numbing cream will be applied prior to the treatment. During a microneedling treatment session, your provider will gently glide the SkinPen® microneedling device over the skin multiple times. Immediately after treatment, your skin may be red and swollen a few days. You can return to your normal routine immediately after the procedure, but you should stay out of the sun until your skin heals.

The SkinPen treatment works in three simple steps, designed to activate the skin’s natural healing process. Following each session, the skin begins to heal itself, looking more renewed and rejuvenated over time. SkinPen is only used in professional settings and delivers dramatic results without the use of heat or chemicals.
Inflammation
SkinPen’s microneedles penetrate the skin’s surface, triggering a natural immune response to disinfect, remove debris, increase blood flow, and activate the creation of new tissue.
Proliferation
The micro-channels or tiny holes created by SkinPen are rebuilt with new granulation cells that include collagen proteins. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Remodeling
New dermal tissues form, rich in collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin quality, visibly reducing facial acne scars and neck wrinkles, leaving skin more smooth, radiant, and younger-looking.

Common side effects of microneedling with SkinPen® may include temporary redness, swelling, and mild discomfort during the recovery period. These side effects are typically mild and resolve on their own within a few days. Serious complications are rare but may include infection or changes in skin pigmentation.
The results of microneedling with SkinPen are typically noticeable within a few weeks to months following treatment as the skin undergoes the renewal process. Continued improvement may be seen over time as collagen production is stimulated and new, healthier skin cells emerge.

The number of microneedling treatments required will depend on the individual's skin concerns and the desired level of improvement. Most patients will benefit from a series of 3 to 4 treatments spaced several weeks apart to achieve optimal results. Maintenance treatments may be recommended to sustain the benefits of microneedling over time.
