Microneedling
A small hand-held, automatic device that contains tiny micro-needles is passed over the skin, creating tiny micro-wounds, or channels, on the skin. During the body’s natural wound-healing process of these channels, collagen and elastin are automatically produced.
Recovery
After the treatment, your skin will be slightly pink and feel slightly sunburned. For most people, your skin will completely recover in 24–72 hours. Your body’s collagen production usually takes about 4–8 weeks, so you will continue to see improvements over this time.
The Process
What is Skinpen?
SkinPen by Bellus Medical is the only microneedling device in the world cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, clinically proven to safely and effectively treat facial acne scars for ages 22 and up.
With as few as three non-invasive and affordable treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your appearance for six months after your last treatment – and step out with confidence.
Features and Benefits
Microneedles trigger the body’s natural skin remodeling process that increases epidermal thickness, stimulates the extracellular matrix, and reduces inflammation. Translation: Microneedles by Bellus Medical fool your body into sending more restorative collagens and elastin than the area needs. That, when used with our post-procedure protocol Skinfuse®, improves your appearance more than is strictly necessary. Much more.
How It Works
The SkinPen Precision system is the only Class II, FDA-cleared microneedling devise legally marketed in the U.S.
The SkinPen microneedling device causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process. The micro-injuries trigger the release of cytokines and growth factors that lead to remodeling of collagen and elastin.
There are three phases to the wound repair process:
Here’s what you can expect from a SkinPen treatment:
