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 cosmesis, rejuvenation to improve fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation and overall skin appearance.
*Individual results will vary.
SkinPen is a non-surgical, microneedling device for the creation of “micro” skin punctures or channels to improve the appearance of the skin. SkinPen is an automated mechanical microneedling technology device designed for use by medical professionals. Sterile microneedle cartridges are provided for single use only.
Patients may notice healthier-looking skin immediately. However, the natural repair process of your own skin continues to progress over the course of several weeks.
Damage that has occurred over an extensive period of time won’t disappear immediately. You may not see the final result for up to 6 months following your final session.
Microneedling allows for controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair process by creating precise, micro-injuries in the skin.
One of the most exciting things about SkinPen is that it can be used on all skin types year-round.
SkinPen users should take caution when determining whether the SkinPen procedure is right for them. Our doctor will inform you whether SkinPen is right for you.
The procedure typically takes around 30 minutes for a face. A topical anaesthetic is applied to the skin prior to the procedure. This allows for a comfortable experience.
The total healing time depends on each individual patient. Most patients have some slight swelling and redness/pinkness (like a mild sunburn) for 24- 48 hours days. Some patients may heal completely in 24 hours.
Patients typically can resume their normal makeup regimen after the first 24 hours following their SkinPen® procedure depending on the area and type of procedure performed. Let the microchannels close- up within 18 hours.
The number of procedures required will be determined in consultation with our skincare professional and is based upon your individual procedure goals and the health of your skin. We recommend a minimum of 3 procedures spaced about 4 weeks apart. We will develop a procedure plan specific to your needs and a maintenance plan to help maintain the rejuvenating effects. However, on scar tissue we will recommend a minimum of 6 treatments.
SkinPen’s variable needle depth allows for versatility and therefore it can be used on many parts of the body, including the face, neck, and décolleté. The depth for the face, neck and décolleté will not be deeper than 1.5mm and the body could go up to 2.5mm.
SkinPen is not recommended for women who are pregnant or nursing.
