What
The purpose of our Skin-Pen treatment is to stimulate the body's natural healing process and promote the production of collagen and elastin, which can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections.
How
As the needles penetrate the skin, they create tiny channels that trigger the body's natural healing process. This process stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, which can help improve the texture and appearance of the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and improve the appearance of acne scars.
When
During a microneedling treatment, the skin is first cleansed and a numbing cream may be applied to minimize discomfort. The dermaroller or microneedling pen is then passed over the skin, creating small punctures in the surface of the skin. This process is repeated multiple times to cover the entire treatment area.
Pre-treatment
-
Do not use topical agents that may increase sensitivity of skin: retinoids, topical antibiotics, exfoliants, acids that may be drying or irritating to the skin (such as alpha hydroxyl acid (AHA) beta hydroxyl acids (BHA), exfoliating masks, salicylic acids, hydroquinone, and benzoyl peroxide acne products) 5-7 days prior.
​
-
Do not take any anti-inflammatory medications such as ibuprofen, Motrin or Advil for 3 days prior to treatment. These agents will interfere with the natural inflammatory process that is critical and responsible for your skin rejuvenation.
