What is SkinPen?
The SkinPen microneedling system begins by creating fractional injuries and generating numerous transient microchannels in the skin. This mechanical approach promotes healing and regeneration without heat energy or cutting. When PRP (platelet-rich plasma) is incorporated after the SkinPen procedure, growth factors can penetrate deeper into the skin layers, enhancing collagen growth and cell turnover effects. By combining PRP with SkinPen, professionals can achieve a rejuvenated and radiant complexion with minimal downtime, as PRP expedites the healing process.
Why Choose SkinPen?
SkinPen is the first FDA-approved microneedling treatment. It is clinically tested, proven, and supported by a commitment to safety and efficacy. It is convenient, requiring minimal downtime. With results in just one to three 30-minute sessions, SkinPen offers a simple and effective solution designed to work without chemicals, heat, or stress.
What Makes SkinPen Different From Similar Procedures?
SkinPen is a highly advanced microneedling tool that sets the standard for similar procedures in the industry. One element that sets SkinPen apart is its advanced precision technology. Its innovative design allows for a more streamlined and controlled micro-needling process, customized for each patient’s unique needs.
As a result, the procedure is more efficient and less invasive, with maximum results and minimal discomfort. Additionally, SkinPen utilizes sterile, disposable needle cartridges, ensuring the highest level of safety and sterility for every procedure. With SkinPen, patients can expect to see smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin, all with a revolutionary technology that is truly one-of-a-kind.

Step 2: Treatment Planning
A personalized treatment plan will be tailored specifically to your needs. Typically, it will consist of three initial treatments, with each session scheduled approximately one month apart. As part of your treatment, your aesthetician may suggest incorporating PRP (platelet-rich plasma), derived from your own blood, as a topical solution immediately after treatment. This addition can significantly improve the outcomes of the treatment.
Step 3: Treatment
The SkinPen appointment lasts for an hour for the face. It includes the application of topical numbing cream on the skin for 15 to 30 minutes. After treatment, your skin will resemble a sunburn in appearance and sensation, but these effects will subside within a few hours.
Step 4: Follow up
Your aesthetician will arrange a follow-up appointment to assess your progress and potentially administer another treatment.
