The Power Of SkinPen Microneedling …
The SkinPen Microneedle Precision Elite is unlike any other microneedle treatment. It is a minimally invasive treatment that uses fine needles to create micro-injuries to the skin to address concerns such as fine lines, acne scars, and uneven texture. These micro-channels are created to "trick" the skin into thinking it has been injured, initiating the skin’s natural healing response. This process stimulates an increase in collagen and elastin production, enhancing overall texture and tone of the skin (pretty amazing, right!)
Before your treatment, it’s essential to prepare your skin for optimal results and quicker healing time. For a minimum of three days leading up to your appointment, avoid blood-thinning medication and harsh skincare ingredients that may irritate your skin. Remember to avoid direct sun exposure, tanning beds, and self-tanners at least two weeks before your appointment. Lastly, stay hydrated!
During the treatment, a topical numbing cream will be applied to ensure comfort. Then, the fun begins! The procedure typically lasts between 30 to 60 minutes (depending the treatment area). Afterward, we will cool the skin down with the Epicutis Lipid Recovery Mask. This mask aids in healing, calms inflammation and redness, and hydrates the skin.
Post-treatment care is key for achieving the desired results. You might experience mild redness and sensitivity following your treatment; this normal and will subside within a few hours. Ensure you stay out of the sun and only use gentle and hydrating ingredients for the first 24-48 hours, no SPF. The channels on your skin are open, making you more susceptible to bacteria and toxins entering, so avoid touching your face (use an alcohol wipe for your glasses and hat)!
Pro Tip: For those with more serious skin texture concerns or wanting maximum results, we suggest scheduling three microneedling sessions spaced four weeks apart!
For those looking for more of a skin-tightening approach, we recommend stacking your microneedling treatments with radio-frequency (RF) sessions. This combination provides an additional smoothening and tightening effect on top of collagen stimulation, leading to a firmer and youthful appearance. We recommended beginning with four radio-frequency treatments with two RF Microneedle treatments integrated into the routine, totally for six consistent weeks in the clinic. Ongoing maintenance treatments should be every three months or as desired.
Pro Tip: Add-on the CO2 Lift Pro Mask for enhanced results and quicker healing time!
