Microneedling
What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a safe and effective method used to create new skin tissue that is firmer, and even in tone and texture. Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy, is a procedure that involves puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles that range in diameter from 0.5 to 2.5 millimeters. The size of the needle used is based on the skin concern and where on the body the procedure will be performed. This causes a slight injury by creating pinpricks in the skin, in return the skin responds by making new collagen-rich tissue to fill in the microscopic wound.
Who is it for?
The SkinPen II is incredibly effective in treating scars, wrinkles, sun damage, uneven skin tone, stretchmarks, and large pores. Microneedling is also safe for different parts of the body where skin is thin, such as the hand or inside of the arms.
Who is not a candidate?
Microneedling may not be the best procedure if you are pregnant, have skin diseases such as psoriasis or eczema, active acne, open wounds, an infection that may spread or worsen by skin punctures, or have had recent radiation therapy.
