SkinPen® Microneedling to Achieve Youthful-looking Skin

April 9th, 2024

Many of us desire youthful, radiant skin, and microneedling has emerged as a leading treatment option. At Academic Alliance in Dermatology, we are proud to offer microneedling with SkinPen®. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen offers a unique approach to skin rejuvenation, combining simplicity, comfort, and effectiveness. This innovative treatment is designed to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out, delivering natural, safe, and impressive results for all skin tones and types.

What is SkinPen?

SkinPen is a state-of-the-art microneedling device that has gained widespread acclaim for its ability to activate the body’s natural skin-healing powers. By creating millions of controlled microchannels in the skin, SkinPen jump-starts the production of collagen and elastin. This process not only encourages the release of growth factors that recruit and increase reparative cells but also ensures a cascade of healing processes that continue for months following your treatment.

The Treatment Process

Before Treatment

The treatment begins with your provider gently cleansing your skin. To ensure maximum comfort during the procedure, topical anesthesia may be administered.

During Treatment

The SkinPen treatment itself lasts approximately 30 minutes, creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. This procedure is quick and easy, with little to no downtime, making it possible to schedule a session after work or whenever you’re available. It’s advisable to speak with your provider beforehand to get an accurate estimate of the treatment duration, especially if an anesthetic is used.

After Treatment

Post-treatment, it’s normal for the skin to appear slightly pink to red, akin to a mild sunburn. This should subside within 24 to 72 hours. While some individuals see rejuvenated skin after just one session, results typically continue to improve for three to six months following the last treatment.

The Benefits of SkinPen Microneedling

Natural and Safe

SkinPen is celebrated for its natural and safe approach to skin rejuvenation. It’s effective for all skin tones and types, making it a versatile option for a wide range of patients.

Stimulates Collagen Without Heat or Chemicals

Unlike other skin treatments that rely on heat or chemicals, SkinPen stimulates new collagen production through its innovative microneedling technique, ensuring a natural healing process.

Minimal Downtime

One of the significant advantages of SkinPen is its minimal downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities shortly after treatment.

Why Choose SkinPen?

Choosing SkinPen microneedling means opting for a treatment that is not only effective but also trusted by the providers at Academic Alliance in Dermatology. Whether you’re looking to address neck wrinkles, acne scars, or just seeking overall skin rejuvenation, SkinPen offers a promising option.

With results visible in as few as three 30-minute sessions, it’s an ideal choice for those looking for noticeable improvements without the commitment of more invasive procedures.
