WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
Light Numbing Topical anesthetic is administered to assure maximum comfort during the treatment.
Simply Treat
SkinPen Precision creates thousands of controlled microchannels in the skin to elicit your body’s natural wound healing cascade. This healing process works at the site of treatment to remodel the tissue resulting in new collagen and elastin to give your skin a younger, firmer and radiant appearance.
How it works
Collagen and elastin are the essential protein fibers in the skin that give it support and elasticity. As we age, those fibers break down leading to fine lines, wrinkles, sagging skin, and large pores. Regenerating collagen and elastin can also help in getting a more youthful appearance overall. Collagen plays a key role in scars, such as those formed from acne. Improper signals in pigmentation lead to dyschromia such as Melasma, Vitiligo and Sun or Age Spots (Solar Lentigines). Skin remodeling can have an important role in the improved appearance of these conditions.

FAQs
How quickly are the results visible?
Visibly rejuvenated skin can generally be seen after just 6-8 days following the procedure, with results further improving over time. A course of SkinPen sessions is usually recommended to achieve optimal results; however, improvement is usually noticeable after just one treatment.
Is SkinPen safe?
Allergic reactions and side-effects are extremely rare/unheard of. The procedure is minimally invasive, meaning there is virtually no downtime.
Are there any side effects or risks associated with skin needling?
Side effects experienced with SkinPen usually subside within 48 hours. These include erythema, stinging, itching and tightness of the skin.
My face has a few slightly raised red and itchy lesions today, is that normal and something the client may experience?
Yes, absolutely normal. Some patients may experience red/dry skin or small pimples which resolve in a few days post procedure.
Can I apply make-up to hide the redness after microneedling treatment?
It is advisable to avoid applying make up immediately after treatment. You may apply make up as usual the day following treatment.
What can be expected after SkinPen treatment?
Day 1: Erythema and redness, severity of which will depend upon the aggressiveness of the performed treatment.
Day 2: Red or pink hue similar to moderate sunburn may persist. There may be some noticeable swelling on the second day.
Day 3: Skin may still retain a pink hue, or return to normal colour. Swelling subsides.
Can you have the treatment in conjunction with IPL hair and/or rejuvenation settings and what should be the time gap?
This is not advisable.
What if they have had electrolysis? Is this still okay to use the SkinPen?
Yes, although the skin should be fully healed before SkinPen treatment.
Should Botox users wait 6 weeks before having botox treatment?
Botox is in the muscle in 15 minutes so SkinPen is safe after this, however most patients choose to wait a few days after botox for SkinPen treatment.
