Introduction - So many of our Houston-area patients come to us with a desire to address concerns such as fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, stretch marks, and hair loss. To help these patients meet their aesthetic goals, we are pleased to offer microneedling treatment with SkinPen, which stimulates the skin’s natural regenerative process to reveal smoother, more even, and more youthful-looking skin. SkinPen is also ideal for stimulating hair growth after just a few in-office treatments.

What is SkinPen Microneedling?

Microneedling with SkinPen works by creating controlled small punctures with tiny needles that lead to micro-injuries on the dermis, which stimulates the body’s natural cell regeneration and wound healing process as well as the production of new collagen and elastin. Microneedling with SkinPen does not cause damage at the cellular level, and our aestheticians are able to precisely target areas of concern without damaging the structures of the skin. In a recent study, 90% of patients said they would recommend SkinPen.1

Benefits of Microneedling with SkinPen

SkinPen is the first microneedling device to be cleared by the FDA to reduce the appearance of neck wrinkles and acne scars, but that's just the start of what SKinPen can do. After just a few in-office treatments that take only about 30 minutes and require little to no downtime, patients see results in the form of:

• Fewer fine lines and wrinkles

• Reduced appearance of scars, including acne scars

• Reduced appearance of sun damage

• Reduced large pores

• More even skin tone

• Improved skin texture

• Reduced appearance of stretch marks

• Diminished appearance of rosacea and eczema

• Improved effectiveness of topical skin care products

Phases of Skin Rejuvenation and Remodeling

Following SkinPen professional microneedling, the skin rejuvenates and remodels itself in three phases:

Phase 1: Inflammation

The micro-injuries caused by SkinPen trigger an immune response from the body. First, these tiny injuries are disinfected. Then dead skin and debris are eliminated and increased blood flow initiates new tissue creation.

Phase 2: Proliferation

As the skin heals, new granulation cells grow to rebuild the skin, initiating the proliferation of blood vessels that promote faster healing.

Phase 3: Remodeling

New blood cells and dermal tissues grow, revitalizing and remodeling the skin and helping the skin look smoother, healthier, and more youthful appearance.

Treatment with SkinPen: What to Expect

Treatment with SkinPen is a fast in-office procedure that takes only about 30 minutes per session. Before your microneedling session begins, your provideraesthetician will cleanse the treatment area and apply a topical numbing cream to improve your comfort.

Following your SkinPen treatment session, you might experience some swelling and/or redness at the treatment areas. This will naturally resolve within a day or two.
