Microneedling
SkinPen® is the first microneedling treatment officially approved by the FDA and is suitable for all skin types. Thanks to the precision and safety of this advanced system, SkinPen® can be used to treat a wide range of skin concerns, including:
• Acne scars
• Surgical scars
• Stretch marks
• Dull skin
• Rough skin texture and enlarged pores
• Wrinkles and fine lines on the face and neck
• Pigmentation spots
• Melasma
• Sagging skin>

What exactly does the SkinPen do?
SkinPen® works by creating controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin using fine, medical-grade needles. These micro-channels activate the skin’s natural healing process, stimulate collagen and elastin production, and thereby lead to visibly improved skin texture and a more even skin tone from within.
It is a safe, minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime. After the healing process, the skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant. Because microneedling is non-ablative and completely free of chemicals, SkinPen® is safe for all skin types and can be used year-round.
How Does the Treatment proceed?
A session typically lasts about 60 minutes.
Before the treatment, the skin is thoroughly disinfected and carefully prepared.
During the treatment, you may feel light pressure or a gentle scratching sensation.
The SkinPen device is then moved over the area to be treated, with each zone being treated three times to ensure even coverage and optimal results.

Preparation
Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 72 hours before the treatment, and stop using exfoliating products such as retinol and acids.
Inform your practitioner about any medications such as Roaccutane, corticosteroids, or antibiotics, and any history of cold sores. Always report skin cancer or suspicious skin lesions in the area to be treated.


Aftercare
Always follow the recommended skincare routine provided after the treatment.
- Do not wash the treated area or apply any products for 6 to 8 hours after the session.
- Redness, slight itching, or flaking are normal during the healing process.
- Do not scratch or peel the skin, and avoid using exfoliating products until all flaking has disappeared (usually after 5 days).
- Avoid intense exercise, sweating, saunas, steam baths, hot showers, and sun exposure for at least 48 hours.
- Do not apply makeup during the first 48 hours.
