Microneedling

The SkinPen is an automated microneedling device that treats fine lines and wrinkles, acne scarring, pore size, stretch marks and other textural issues. Unlike over-the-counter rolling devices, this more intensive treatment is medical-grade and is performed by licensed medical professionals in clinical settings.

How does Microneedling work?

Microneedling is a form of collagen induction therapy that creates micro-injury sites at precise depths in the skin. This treatment makes use of the skin’s natural healing process to stimulate collagen, growth factors and elastin production. The result is a reduction in the appearance of textural issues.
