SKINPEN Microneedling

Microneedling, also called Medical Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), is an aesthetic medical procedure that involves repeatedly puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles in order to induce production of new collagen. The skin plumps and thickens in response, producing improvements in texture, tone, and overall skin quality.

What is SkinPen Microneedling?

This non-ablative treatment allows us to treat the deeper parts of the skin without removing the top layer of skin. It is designed to treat various skin conditions such as fine lines and wrinkles, large pores, light to moderate scarring from acne and photo damage, and to improve skin colour and other skin texture changes.

Microneedling creates permanent and dramatic reparative changes to the skin. It builds collagen, increases cell turnover, firms and strengthens the skin, minimizes the appearance of large pores, smooths texture and uneven skin tone, minimizes acne scarring, lightens pigmentation, and softens fine lines and wrinkles.

It can be used on all skin types and is a valuable tool to treat a variety of skin concerns.

How SkinPen Microneedling Works

Microneedling is a form of Collagen Induction Therapy which helps control signs of aging in a natural process. Tiny, sterile needles create micro-injuries in the skin, triggering the body's wound-healing response. This stimulates the production of new collagen and elastin, increases cell turnover, and activates the skin's natural repair mechanisms.

We needle with a powerful epidermal growth factor serum to obtain the best results possible. While these microchannels in the skin are open and in an intensified wound-healing state, the epidermal growth serum aids in the repair and remodeling of the dermis.

It can be used on all skin types and is a valuable tool to treat a variety of skin concerns such as facial rejuvenation, scarring (acne, surgical), stretch marks, pigmentation and pore concerns, and fine lines and wrinkles.

What to Expect

Pre-Treatment (Numbing)

A topical anesthetic is applied to the skin prior to treatment to reduce discomfort. The procedure is pain-free.

Treatment (Needling)

The depth and speed of the procedure is individual per patient. Downtime post-procedure is minimal, typically redness and minor swelling for 12 to 48 hours.

6 to 12 Months (Results)

More significant results occur after 4 to 6 treatments spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart.
