Micro-injuries produced by the SkinPen® microneedling device trigger the body's wound healing mechanisms. When collagen and elastin are remodeled in response to micro-injuries, cytokines and growth factors are released. This process improves skin's elasticity and smoothes out wrinkles and fine lines.
A 30-minute microneedling session is all it takes to reset your skin. The SkinPen can produce 1600 micro-channels (holes) each second. These micro-injuries speed up the healing process by stimulating your skin. The best part is that SkinPen doesn't use any harsh chemicals or heat, so it's completely safe for even the most sensitive skin.
Collagen and elastin, the proteins in the body essential for keeping the skin strong and tight, are reduced in production with age. Collagen and elastin production are revitalized during microneedling, which helps repair superficial damage and reverse the outward manifestations of aging.
During microneedling procedures, plaquelet-rich plasma aka "PRF" or exosomes can be used to be infused into the treated area to enhance results.

HOW SKINPEN MICRONEEDLNG WORKS
INFLAMMATION PROCESS
The microneedles of the SkinPen penetrate the skin, causing your immune system to cleanse the wounds, remove debris, boost blood flow, and begin to regenerate new tissue.
PROLIFERATION PROCESS
SkinPen micro-wounds are restored with new granulation cells that contain collagen proteins. A new network of blood arteries is also formed.
REMODELING PROCESS
The wound is filled with new dermal tissues and blood vessels made up of collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins make the skin look younger.
