How does microneedling work? 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:
- 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.
Best of all, SkinPen works. Ninety percent of subjects in a clinical trial would recommend the procedure to family and friends.
Will Microneedling Work For Me?
Unlike most alternatives, SkinPen has been clinically shown to be effective for women and men with skin ranging from skin-types light to very dark . Likewise, SkinPen’s mechanical process is less abrasive than harsh peels. In addition, when you properly space treatments that are overseen by a physician, the procedures can be administered year-round.
SkinPen microneedling creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process while minimizing cellular damage. The result is effective remodeling of acne scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. As you can see from the before and after images above, this leads to glowing, stunning results!
With as few as three non-invasive and affordable treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your appearance for six months after your last treatment!
Here’s what you can expect from a SkinPen treatment:
- A plan for optimal results. We may recommend a course of procedures based on your individual goals. Maintenance of your procedure might require multiple treatments.
- A comfortable procedure. Based on your needs, we will advice you to apply a topical numbing agent to the treatment area prior to your appointment. We will send you details of the numbing agent to apply.
- Acupuncture. As part of our holistic approach we also include Body Acupuncture to enhance the results of the Micro-Needling procedure, coupled with Organ Re-alignment. Watch our video below.
- A short procedure time. The treatment will likely take about 30 minutes and an additional 20 mins if the infusion of specific nutrients is included.
- A mild sensation. Most patients report feeling only the slight vibration of SkinPen during the procedure.
- Minimal post-procedure effects. The skin will appear slightly pink to red immediately post-procedure, similar to a mild to moderate sunburn. Additionally, the most common treatment responses experienced were dryness, rough skin, tightness, redness, itching, peeling, discomfort, tenderness, and burning. These conditions resolved over time without any further complications.
- Soothing aftercare. Your treatment after care will include Skinfuse® LIFT, a clean, non-cytotoxic hydrogel used to prevent the skin from drying out post-treatment.
- An effective post-procedure protocol. Your provider might recommend an aftercare regimen.
