SkinPen® is the safest, most effective vertical microneedling device that offers state-of-the-art skin rejuvenating technology. By creating a series of hundreds of vertical microscopic channels into the dermis, SkinPen® stimulates the natural production of new collagen and elastin.
The Difference of SkinPen
Traditional microneedling dermarollers can bend, break, or even rust. As a result, infection or scarring may occur with reuse. SkinPen® is different. Through an optimized micro-channel creation, SkinPen® uses straight needles to penetrate at a 90 degree angle to stimulate your skin’s natural ability to produce new collagen and elastin formation, encouraging your skin to look and feel healthier. Further, the channels allow product to penetrate deeper into the skin, resulting in better product efficacy.
How Microneedling Works
SkinPen® by Bellus Medical is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device.
It causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact.
There are three phases to the wound-repair process:
- Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
- Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
- Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.
Best of all, SkinPen® works. Ninety percent of subjects in the clinical trial would recommend the procedure to family and friends.
What To Expect
A Skin Pen treatment from Dr. Beverly Held takes about one hour. You will be asked to arrive early to allow time for numbing of the area. We use a topical numbing cream which provides for a comfortable treatment experience.
Most patients will see improvement after only one treatment, however, a series of treatments is typically recommended. Our highly trained team will advise you on the best treatment protocol to suit your needs. We offer complimentary skin analysis and consultation. You can expect some redness followed by flaking skin for 2-3 days following treatment.
