Over time, the skin naturally loses collagen and elasticity, leading to fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven texture. If you're looking for a non-invasive treatment that stimulates natural skin regeneration, SkinPen Microneedling offers a proven solution to restore your skin’s youthful glow.
At Renue Aesthetic Surgery in Overland Park, KS, Dr. Victor Perez, a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, offers SkinPen Microneedling as a safe and effective way to rejuvenate your skin. Whether used alone or combined with Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) for enhanced healing, this treatment is designed to improve skin texture and boost collagen production naturally.
What Is SkinPen Microneedling?
SkinPen Microneedling is an FDA-cleared collagen induction therapy designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and overall skin tone. This minimally invasive procedure creates tiny micro-injuries in the skin using ultra-fine needles, stimulating the body’s natural wound-healing process. This triggers collagen and elastin production, helping to repair and smooth the skin over time.
Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling offers a non-invasive way to refresh and revitalize your skin by naturally stimulating collagen production.
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles for a more youthful appearance.
- Minimizes acne scars and hyperpigmentation by resurfacing the skin.
- Improves overall skin texture and tone, reducing rough patches and unevenness.
- Stimulates collagen and elastin production for firmer, plumper skin.
- Safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
- Minimal downtime, allowing for a quick return to daily activities.
With its ability to improve skin texture, tone, and elasticity, SkinPen Microneedling is an effective solution for achieving a smoother, more youthful complexion.
How Does SkinPen Microneedling Work?
The SkinPen device creates controlled micro-injuries in the skin, triggering a three-phase healing process:
- Inflammation: The body responds by increasing blood flow and immune support to the treated area.
- Proliferation: New collagen and elastin production begin, strengthening and repairing the skin.
- Remodeling: Newly formed skin tissue improves texture, reducing signs of aging and scarring.
The result is smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin with gradual improvements over time.
What to Expect During Your SkinPen Treatment
Understanding the steps involved in a SkinPen Microneedling session can help you feel confident and prepared for your treatment. From pre-care guidelines to post-treatment recovery, here’s what you need to know.
Pre-Treatment Preparation
To ensure the best results, follow these preparation guidelines:
- Avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and exfoliating products for at least 48 hours before your session.
- Stay hydrated and arrive with clean, makeup-free skin to allow for optimal absorption and healing.
During the Procedure
The SkinPen Microneedling process is quick, comfortable, and designed to stimulate collagen production:
- A topical numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort.
- The SkinPen device glides over the treatment area, creating controlled micro-injuries that trigger natural skin renewal.
- The session typically lasts 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
Post-Treatment Care
After the procedure, your skin will go through a natural healing process. Here’s how to care for it:
- Mild redness and sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn, may occur for 24-48 hours.
- Apply a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen to protect and hydrate the skin.
- Avoid harsh skincare products and excessive sun exposure for at least one week to allow for proper healing.
With proper care, you can enjoy a smoother, firmer, and more radiant complexion following your SkinPen Microneedling treatment.
Enhancing Results with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
For even greater skin rejuvenation, PRP therapy can be combined with SkinPen Microneedling. PRP is derived from your own blood and contains growth factors that accelerate healing and enhance collagen production. Applying PRP after microneedling can boost skin renewal, reduce downtime, and maximize results for a more radiant complexion.
