How SkinPen works
It creates thousands of microchannels that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. This rejuvenates your skin from the inside out. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact.
There are three phases to the wound-repair process with SkinPen:
Phase I: Inflammation
Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to cleanse the wound, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
Phase II: Proliferation
The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Phase III: Remodeling
The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.
Frequently asked questions
How long does a treatment session take to complete?
A single session can be completed in as little as 20 or 30 minutes.
How often will I need repeat treatments?
After a microneedling treatment session, you can go as long as six months to a year before coming back for another treatment to maintain the results.
Can microneedling enhance the effectiveness of topical skin products?
Microneedling can make topical products that are applied to the skin more effective by allowing for deeper infiltration. This will allow the products to penetrate deeper into the skin’s layers so that they can improve skin quality even more.
Should I worry about infections with this treatment?
We take every precaution necessary to ensure that no one’s health is put at risk with this treatment. Sanitary procedures are followed closely by our staff to eliminate the chances of infections happening.
What should you not do after Microneedling?
Don’t put on makeup, especially with a makeup brush that has been used before, in the 24 hours following microneedling. You’ll also need to avoid swimming pools, saunas, and situations where you might sweat heavily, including intense workouts at the gym, to protect your newly treated skin.
