What Are the Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling?

If you have common cosmetic issues like fine lines, sun damage, or acne scarring, SkinPen microneedling can help transform your complexion. SkinPen is a microneedling device that can stimulate new skin cell growth, resolving many common skincare issues.

Premiere Aesthetics in Fort Myers, FL, provides skin rejuvenation treatments for clients who want a more youthful, healthier complexion. Read on to learn more about SkinPen and how microneedling procedures can resolve your skincare concerns.

What Is SkinPen?

SkinPen is an innovative cosmetic device that was developed for skin rejuvenation. The device acts as a microneedling tool, making tiny punctures in the skin to stimulate a healing response. 

Microneedling with SkinPen can resolve some of the most common aesthetic concerns, including wrinkles, acne scarring, and enlarged pores. SkinPen is a minimally invasive outpatient procedure that involves no incisions or sutures.

What Can SkinPen Microneedling Resolve?

Microneedling is a beneficial skin rejuvenation procedure that can address a wide variety of cosmetic concerns. The microscopic punctures made in the skin stimulate a healing response that can have many positive effects on your skin. 

The following are some of the common aesthetic issues that microneedling can resolve.

Uneven Skin Tone

Many people struggle with uneven skin tone and texture due to sun damage, scarring, or excess pigmentation. The healing response that happens deep beneath the skin after a microneedling session can help produce new skin cells that create a more even skin tone.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Microneedling can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating new collagen production. Collagen naturally decreases as you age, which contributes to the development of age-related changes like wrinkles. An increase in collagen can lead to a smoother complexion free of fine lines and wrinkles.

Acne Scarring

Acne scarring is a common cosmetic concern for people of any age. SkinPen microneedling can address the scars left behind from severe acne by stimulating new skin cell growth. When damaged or scarred skin cells are replaced with new skin cells, the appearance of any scarring is significantly reduced.

Sagging Skin

With age, your skin loses hyaluronic acid, elastin, and collagen. This makes your skin lose firmness and elasticity. You might see your cheeks and eye area begin to sag downward when your skin loses these vital components. 

Microneedling can help stimulate collagen production within your skin, producing a tightening effect that reduces sagging.

Blemishes

Many people struggle with blemishes and imperfections that prevent them from having a clear complexion. Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of certain blemishes, including those caused by melasma.

Sun Damage

Sun damage is a common cause of skin imperfections, including dark spots and fine lines. SkinPen microneedling can help address changes that sun damage has made to your skin. The production of new skin cells can rescue dark pigmentation and tackle fine lines.

Enlarged Pores

Enlarged pores are a cosmetic concern that many people struggle with. Pores can appear enlarged due to genetic factors, or they might look larger as you get older. In either case, microneedling can help shrink and tighten pores, leading to smoother-looking skin.

How Is SkinPen Skin Rejuvenation Performed?

Are you considering SkinPen microneedling treatment? Below is a breakdown of what you can expect during this skin rejuvenation procedure.

Before

Before your first SkinPen session, you will need to consult with one of our cosmetic medicine providers. We need to examine your skin and assess your aesthetic concerns to determine whether SkinPen is the best course of action for you. If not, we’ll advise you on any alternative treatments that can better meet your needs.

On the day of your SkinPen microneedling treatment, wash your face with a mild cleanser. Do not apply anything to your skin. This includes cosmetics, lotions, serums, and topical treatments. Your skin should be clean and free of any products or debris. This is the only preparation required for your treatment.

During

During your SkinPen treatment, you’ll be able to sit back comfortably while one of our professionals performs your procedure. A topical anesthetic may be applied to your skin to provide increased comfort. Once this has taken effect, our provider will use the handheld SkinPen device to make microscopic punctures in the skin. 

Depending on your aesthetic concerns, this process can take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes.

After

When your SkinPen session is complete, you will be able to return home and resume normal activities. There is no downtime or recovery process required, but you will be advised to avoid direct sun exposure for several weeks.

Many clients see a change in their skin after just one SkinPen session, but you will likely need multiple treatments to see the best results. The exact number of sessions you’ll need will depend on your unique cosmetic concerns.

The Best Candidates for SkinPen Microneedling

Since microneedling provides a wide variety of advantages, many people can benefit from SkinPen treatment. Ideal candidates may have any combination of the following concerns:

  • Age-related changes (fine lines, wrinkles, sagging)
  • Sun damage
  • Dark age spots
  • Blemishes
  • Enlarged pores
  • Stretch marks

During your consultation, we’ll ask you about your concerns and evaluate your skin. Then, we’ll recommend SkinPen microneedling or another procedure to help you reach your goals.
