What is microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin. The process stimulates the body's natural healing response to boost skin health. 

It also triggers collagen and elastin production. The result is improved skin texture, reduced fine lines, and a rejuvenated appearance.

You benefit most from a series of treatments scheduled several weeks apart. The microneedling results appear gradually, and full skin improvements appear after 3-6 months.

How does SkinPen® microneedling differ from traditional microneedling methods?

SkinPen is an advanced microneedling device known for its precision and safety. It utilizes a specialized cartridge system to minimize trauma to the skin by providing consistent and controlled needle penetration. 

This enhances the effectiveness of the treatment, promoting optimal collagen induction for smoother and firmer skin. SkinPen improves the appearance of aged skin and reduces the aesthetic effects of acne and acne scars.

What is Secret™ RF microneedling?

Secret RF microneedling takes skin rejuvenation to the next level by combining microneedling with radiofrequency (RF) energy. 

This dual-action approach stimulates collagen production at a deeper level, addressing concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. Secret RF is particularly effective for enhancing skin tightness and texture.

It delivers the RF into multiple levels of your skin, including the deeper layers where treatment is especially beneficial.

What are the benefits of microneedling?

Microneedling is an effective, minimally invasive treatment that addresses several skin concerns, including the following:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Uneven skin texture

The controlled micro-injuries created during the procedure encourage skin regeneration and healing, resulting in a more youthful and radiant complexion. These tiny wounds also create channels through which serums and moisturizers can penetrate deeply into your skin.

Is there any downtime associated with microneedling?

Most people tolerate SkinPen and Secret RF microneedling well, and any potential downtime is minimal. You may experience mild redness or swelling, typically subsiding within a few days. You can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
