Cosmetic Procedures
Microneedling treatment allows for controlled induction of the skin’s self-repair mechanism by creating micro-“injuries” in the skin, which triggers new collagen synthesis, yet does not pose the risk of permanent scarring. The result is smoother, firmer and younger looking skin. Microneedleing procedures are preformed in a safe and precise manner with the use of the disposable sterile needle head. The procedure is normally completed within 30 minutes, depending on the required treatment and anatomical site.
Cutting Edge Micro Needling
How SkinPen Micro Needling Works?
The SkinPen procedure temporarily creates hundreds of micro-channels without ablation or introduction of thermal energy.
Collagen Induction Therapy
Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), or micro needling, is the procedure by which the body’s natural response to healing is used to increase the amount of extracellular matrix such as collagen or elastin in the skin. These “injuries” are enough to initiate the wound-healing cascade. There are three basic phases to illustrate how micro needling works.
Phase One | Inflammation:
Activated by piercing the dermal tissue, platelets release cytokines and growth factors which act as signals for the body’s immune system. Neutrophils and macrophages cells are sent in to disinfect the wounds, clear the debris, increase the blood supply (a process called angiogenesis), and begin the creation of fresh, new cellular and extracellular materials (the granulation process).
Phase Two | Proliferation:
In this stage, the fibroblasts (cells that make up much of the dermis and create the extracellular matrix) keratinocytes and epidermal cells continue to divide to populate the areas of damage and secrete growth factors and extracellular matrix, such as elastin and collagen.
Phase Three | Remodeling:
At this stage, the wound has been replaced with new dermal tissues and the newly formed vasculature is now matured. The collagen in the newly formed tissue is now replaced with the stronger collagen and the tissue contracts to cause a “shrink-wrap” effect of the skin.
The Versatile Design of SkinPen
The depth of the SkinPen needles can be adjusted. This variability allows the SkinPen provider to adjust treatments based on the patient’s anatomy (skin thickness) as well as the patient’s need.
Reduce the Appearance of Acne Scars
SkinPen’s unique microneedling technology improves damaged or aging skin by utilizing the body’s healing response. Our bodies have a natural repair and healing process that reacts to injury by producing new collagen and elastin. By initiating this response, SkinPen harnesses the skin rejuvenation process.
Collagen
The lightweight and ergonomic design of the SkinPen in conjunction with the vertical delivery of the needles allows physicians/skin care providers to use the device to treat hard-to-reach places that other dermal rollers cannot. The SkinPen can specifically target delicate areas around the nose and mouth to assist in new collagen production.
SkinPen uses sterile, disposable needle cartridges that deliver multi-speed and adjustable depths to accommodate all skin types and needs. This specific combination reduces patient downtime.
