Question 1

What is skinpen?

Accepted Answer

SkinPen is clinically proven to fight the appearance of neck wrinkles and reduce the appearance of acne scars. In fact, 90% of subjects in the clinical trial would recommend the treatment to friends and family. It’s a minimally invasive procedure performed in-office with little to no downtime. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen sets the industry standard for safety.

Question 2

How does skinpen work?

Accepted Answer

SkinPen creates hundreds to thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process – inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling – to prompt tissue remodeling without causing scar tissue formation. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.

Question 3

Am I a good candidate for skinpen?

Accepted Answer

SkinPen should not be used on patients who have active skin cancer in the treatment area(s); open wounds, sores, or irritated skin in the treatment area(s); an allergy to stainless steel or anesthetics; a hemorrhagic (bleeding) disorder or hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction; are pregnant or nursing; or are currently taking drugs with the ingredient isotretinoin (such as Accutane). Talk to your doctor to see if this treatment is right for you.

Question 4

What is the difference between micro needling and skinpen?

Accepted Answer

Micro Needling and SkinPen are both popular treatments aimed at improving skin texture and appearance through controlled micro-injuries that stimulate collagen production. Here’s how they differ:                Micro Needling: This is a general term for a procedure that uses a device with fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, leading to increased collagen and elastin production. Various devices can be used for micro needling, and the procedure can be customized for different skin concerns.

Question 5

What does micro needling feel like?

Accepted Answer

Micro Needling is generally well-tolerated by most patients. During the procedure, you may feel a slight tingling or pricking sensation as the fine needles create micro-injuries on the surface of your skin. The sensation can vary depending on the treatment area and your individual pain threshold. To minimize discomfort, a topical numbing cream is often applied before the procedure. After the treatment, your skin might feel warm and tight, similar to a mild sunburn, but these sensations usually subside within a few hours to a couple of days.

Question 6

What is the recovery time for Micro Needling and SkinPen?

Accepted Answer

The recovery time for both Micro Needling and SkinPen treatments is generally short and manageable. Immediately after the procedure, you might experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically lasts 1-3 days. Depending on the intensity of the treatment and your skin type, some patients may also experience light peeling or dryness as the skin heals. Full recovery, where your skin returns to its normal state, usually occurs within 5-7 days. During this time, it’s important to follow post-treatment care instructions provided by your clinician, including avoiding direct sun exposure and using gentle skincare products to support healing.
