Skin Pen Microneedling

The skin Pen is a powerful regenerative treatment modality, with its superior needle depth we can effectively reach the dermis where the fibroblast cell lives to trigger a natural immune response resulting in new dermal tissue rich in collagen and elastin proteins giving you firmer, smoother and more youthful looking skin. Collagen and elastin are produced by the fibroblasts and are responsible for strength and elasticity of the skin. These fibres naturally decrease as we age which results in sagging and wrinkling of the skin. Uv exposure acne also encourage the breakdown of collagen in the skin, thus resulting in pigmentation and scarring.

The treatment includes : Double Cleanse | Prep | Microneedling | Hyaluronic Infusion | Post Treatment Product Application.

The sensation during the treatment is usually well tolerated with some irritation and heat felt. Performed in sections relatively quickly. Treatments with depths greater than 0.5mm, may require the application of topical local anesthetic.

A sunburn sensation is present after the treatment and usually lasts upto 48 hours. Erythema (redness) and edema (swelling) of the treated area can occur and can last up to a 4 days. Some peeling my occur for 2-3 days and usually comes off with a gentle cleanse. Short term dryness and darkening of pigmentation before it sloughs off.

Due to the stimulation of collagen and elastin after your treatment, your skins texture, pore size, tone and complexion is improved, with a reduction in scarring, fine lines and wrinkles and an overall improved vitality.

Skin Pen is an ideal treatment option for those with aging concerns and is especially great for those wanting to treat post acne scarring. It is also indicated for overall skin rejuvenation in those 25 years old and above as it aids in replenishing the depleted collage and elastin lost due to age and environmental factors.
