MicroNeedling - SkinPen

Description of the Procedure

SkinPen Precision is a precise micromechanical skin remodeling device that initiates skin remodeling to treat scar tissue including acne and surgical scars, and may also be used for general Skin rejuvenation to improve fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and overall skin appearance.

SkinPen procedures are performed in a minimally-invasive (little to no introduction of the instrument into the body) and precise manner with the use of the sterile needle head. The procedure is normally completed within 30-60 minutes, depending on the required procedure and anatomical site.

Side Effects

After the procedure, the skin will be red and flushed in appearance, like a moderate sunburn. You may also experience skin tightness and mild sensitivity to touch on certain areas. This will diminish significantly within a few hours following the procedure. Within the next 24 hours, the skin will often appear to have returned to normal. After three days, there is rarely evidence that the procedure has taken place.
