What is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen is the gold standard in microneedling, designed to trigger the body’s natural healing response by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin. This process boosts collagen and elastin, helping to repair skin imperfections while reducing scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation.
Key Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling
✔ Reduces fine lines and wrinkles for smoother skin
✔ Minimizes acne scars and stretch marks
✔ Improves skin tone and texture
✔ Shrinks pores and enhances skin elasticity
✔ Diminishes hyperpigmentation and sun damage
✔ Safe, FDA-approved, and suitable for all skin types
✔ Minimal downtime with long-lasting results
How Does SkinPen Microneedling Work?
The SkinPen device uses ultra-fine, medical-grade needles to create tiny punctures in the skin, which triggers a natural repair process:
- Inflammation Phase – Micro-injuries activate the body’s healing response, increasing blood flow and immune support.
- Proliferation Phase – New collagen and elastin production begins, improving skin firmness and elasticity.
- Remodeling Phase – The skin renews itself, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, scars, and uneven texture.
What Can SkinPen Microneedling Treat?
✔ Fine lines & wrinkles – Boosts collagen for firmer skin
✔ Acne scars & stretch marks – Breaks down scar tissue for smoother texture
✔ Hyperpigmentation & sun damage – Brightens and evens out skin tone
✔ Large pores – Reduces size and improves overall texture
✔ Uneven skin tone – Enhances radiance and smoothness
