As you get older, the body's ability to produce collagen reduces, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, and uneven skin texture.
Skinpen Microneedling helps in managing these signs of aging. It creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin to trigger the body's natural wound healing process.
These tiny punctures encourage tissue regeneration and boost collagen and elastin production, the two proteins predominantly responsible for the skin's structure.
In as few as three treatments, you'll see noticeable results!
A scientifically proven procedure to improve the appearance of the skin
Collagen production boost improves many aesthetic issues ranging from sun damage, discoloration, hyperpigmentation, and fine wrinkles.
More growth factors and collagen are released. As a result, the scar edges are softened and less defined.
The skin's elasticity and firmness considerably improve due to the stimulated production of collagen and elastin.
Skinpen is the first FDA approved Microneedling device. On its own, it has been proven to improve the look of acne scars and wrinkles. It is also used in conjunction with skin products and medications to improve melasma (sunspots) and alopecia conditions.
Microneedling, also called percutaneous collagen induction therapy, is performed using a handheld, drum- or pen-shaped device, electrically powered, with tiny needles that make precise, microscopic punctures in the skin. These "micro-injuries" do not leave scars; they work by helping to stimulate the skin to repair itself naturally through a process called dermal remodeling. This process starts with inflammation, enabling the skin to produce new collagen (the elastic fibers that make skin tight, smooth, and youthful). Collagen levels in the skin decline as we age, and new collagen is produced when the skin is in repair mode.
We use a medical-grade cleansing complex to gently disinfect the treatment area and remove makeup, sunscreen, and surface oils.
Depending on your skin condition and the desired results, we use different penetration depths on the automatic Microneedling pen to customize the experience to your face and skin condition.
The treatment creates tiny channels in the skin's surface that allow any topicals to penetrate deeply, increasing their efficacy. We will use a soothing serum combined with other active ingredients suitable for your skin condition.
After a few days, the redness on your face should disappear, revealing soft, baby-smooth cheeks and a natural, healthy-looking flush. The results continue to develop for weeks after treatment as the collagen-building process takes time.

Microneedling can be uncomfortable for those who have sensitive skin or who are afraid of needles. A procedure that uses microneedles sounds rather painful, but using a topical numbing cream helps significantly with any discomfort that one may feel. When done correctly, Microneedling can feel like mild scratching on the surface of the face.
After the procedure, the skin will be red and flushed in appearance similar to moderate sunburn. You may also experience skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch on the treated area. The skin's redness will diminish after a few hours following the treatment. Within 24 hours, the surface of the skin typically feels more normal. After three days, the skin is healed, and your normal appearance is fully restored. For the first three days, it is crucial to avoid sun exposure and sweaty activity.
Expect redness or even pinpoints bleeding on the first three days after the procedure. By day two, most patients look like they have a sunburn, and the skin may be dry. However, the skin is usually fully recovered by day four after the procedure.
Microneedling is not suitable for you if : You have active skin cancer in the area you want to treat You have irritated skin or open wounds You have a bleeding disorder You are allergic to allergies to stainless steel You are taking medications containing isotretinoin You are pregnant or nursing
Microneedling is not limited to the face only. Any area of your skin that needs to be repaired, tightened, or corrected can benefit from Microneedling.
Use sunscreen of 30 SPF or higher
Avoid direct sun exposure.
No makeup 24 Hours after the treatment.
Avoid sweaty gym workouts/exercise, hospital settings where you might be exposed to an infection, dirty jobs (like cleaning the bathroom, etc.) for three days after the procedure.
No vitamin C serum or retinoids for four days after the procedure.
No glycolic acid for four days after the procedure.
Wash with a gentle cleanser Apply Hyaluronic Acid Serum every three hours for the remainder of the first day and continue through the next two days.
Microneedling can be combined with other complementary treatments.
In addition, our experts can advise you on additional suitable treatments for your skin condition. A popular combination that gives excellent results to most skin types: Aquafacial + Microneedling + LED Light Therapy The Aquafacial cleans the skin deeply, improves the skin's hydration level, and is an excellent basis for a subsequent Microneedling step. Adding LED light at the end of the session can speed up the recovery and accelerate the healing process.
For Facial Rejuvenation and Collagen Stimulation: 3-5 sessions, each 2-4 weeks apart.
For Perioral (around the mouth) wrinkles: 5 sessions, each 2-4 weeks apart .
For Acne Scars: 3-6 sessions, each 3-6 weeks apart.
For Stretch Marks: 3-6 sessions, each 4-6 weeks apart.
Fine lines or moderate wrinkles, uneven texture of the skin Mild skin laxity (looseness) Diminished texture, tone, color, no 'glow' Atrophic (depressed) acne scars Stretch marks Traumatic scars Sun damage Open Pores
It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to see results after the treatment. This is mainly because the skin needs time to heal and rejuvenate as the wound healing process takes effect.
