SkinPen Microneedling

How does micro needling work?

It creates thousands of microchannels that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. This rejuvenates your skin from the inside out. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. The process leads to collagen and elastin stimulation.

There are three phases to the wound-repair process:

• Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to cleanse the wound, remove debris, increase blood flow, and begin to create new tissue.

• Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

• Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

The greatest advantage of microneedling is that it is safe to use on almost all skin types and year-round. Microneedling is used primarily for:

• Dull texture

• Acne scars

• Surgical scars

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Enlarged pores
