How can SkinPen Microneedling transform your complexion?
Discover the Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling: A Revolutionary Treatment
What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a medical-grade device. This device creates controlled micro-injuries to the skin, stimulating the body’s natural healing processes- Inflammation, Proliferation and Remodelling. These micro-injuries prompt the production of collagen and elastin, two essential proteins that contribute to the skin's firmness and elasticity.
1. Inflammation: The body's immune system responds, increasing blood flow to the area and initiating the removal of debris.
2. Proliferation: New tissue begins to form, including collagen-rich granulation tissue.
3. Remodelling: The newly formed tissue is remodelled into stronger, more elastic skin.
Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, SkinPen microneedling can help smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, giving the skin a more youthful appearance.
Improves Skin Texture and Tone: This procedure can improve the overall texture and tone of the skin, making it look more even and radiant.
Minimises Scarring: SkinPen microneedling is effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars, surgical scars, and other types of scarring.
Enhances Absorption of Skincare Products: The micro-channels created by the SkinPen allow for better absorption of skincare products, maximising their effectiveness.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Consultation: Before undergoing SkinPen microneedling, a consultation is essential. During this consultation, your skin will be assessed, a thorough history will be obtained, and your treatment goals will be discussed.
Preparation: Some patients may be required to first go through a “prep” phase to ensure their skin is optimally prepared prior to a SkinPen treatment. This may include introducing certain skincare products into their routine or prepping the skin with in-clinic treatments to ensure optimal results.
Treatment: SkinPen will gently glide over the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries over areas of either the face, neck and/or decolletage. The needling process typically takes approximately 10-20minutes, depending on the size of the area being treated. A mild scratching sensation may be felt, but the treatment is generally tolerated very well.
Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, you will be provided with a homecare kit to aid the skins recovery. Directly after a SkinPen treatment, the skin may appear red and slightly swollen, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects usually subside within a few days. You will be provided with specific aftercare instructions which must be followed as directed by your treating clinician.
