What Is Microneedling with SkinPen®?
Microneedling involves the use of perforating the skin with tiny needles. It creates temporary, micro-sized openings that stimulate your body’s natural healing process, which allows it to reduce or correct a number of skin imperfections. Some of the things that SkinPen® can accomplish include:
- Acne scar reduction in Houston
- Stretch mark reduction
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improvement of skin elasticity
- Minimizing the appearance of pores
- Reduction of various pigment issues
What Is the Procedure Like?
Dr. Moosavi and our team want patients to be as comfortable as possible during their treatments, so you can expect us to go the extra mile to help you feel relaxed and at-home in our medspa. We may use a topical numbing agent to prepare you for your SkinPen® session so you feel as little as possible while the device is working.
Each session may take around one hour (depending on which area of the body we are treating). Afterward, some redness is normal, and some patients experience just a tiny bit of pinpoint bleeding. Overall, most patients find that the experience is much more comfortable than they anticipated! There is no major downtime required, and any redness should disappear within a few days.
You might see initial results after just one session, but for most patients, at least 2 or 3 sessions spaced about a month apart are necessary.
Benefits of SkinPen®
Some of the top benefits of SkinPen® treatment include:
- It doesn’t require the use of thermal energy, and it us non ablative (it involves no removal of skin).
- It is safer and more effective than at-home methods of so-called microneedling.
- It is safe for all skin types.
- Although it is commonly used for just the face, it can also be used to treat other areas of the body.
- It is one of the best ways to encourage your body to produce more collagen and elastin, two components that are essential for smooth, glowing skin.
Who Is a Candidate for SkinPen®?
