How does it work?
SkinPen creates thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process. In a process of inflammation, proliferation, and remodelling, it promotes the formation of collagen without causing scar tissue formation. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
What kind of textural improvements can you expect with SkinPen skin therapy?
Collagen Induction Therapy with the SkinPen results in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, an improvement in skin texture and the softening and improvement of acne and surgical scars.
What does the procedure feel like?
SkinPen creates controlled micro-injuries to stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process, while minimising cellular damage. The result is effective remodelling of the skin surface, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. Procedures take about 30 minutes, depending on the area treated and the desired results. Due to their non-invasive nature, microneedling sessions usually require little downtime for patients. A local anaesthetic is applied to minimise discomfort.
