SkinPen creates hundreds to thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process – inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling – to prompt tissue remodeling without causing scar tissue formation. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.

SkinPen is clinically proven to fight the appearance of neck wrinkles and reduce the appearance of acne scars. In fact, 90% of subjects in the clinical trial would recommend the treatment to friends and family. It’s a minimally invasive procedure performed in-office with little to no downtime. As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen sets the industry standard for safety.

Unlike some alternatives, SkinPen has been clinically proven effective for women and men with all Fitzpatrick Skin Types I – VI. Likewise, unlike lasers or chemical peels that can damage skin over the long term, SkinPen treatments can be used for years when adequately spaced and overseen by a physician.

SkinPen should not be used on patients who have active skin cancer in the treatment area(s); open wounds, sores, or irritated skin in the treatment area(s); an allergy to stainless steel or anesthetics; a hemorrhagic (bleeding) disorder or hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction; are pregnant, or nursing; or are currently taking drugs with the ingredient isotretinoin (such as Accutane). Talk to your doctor to see if this treatment is right for you.

Most patients start with three treatments, spaced four weeks apart. Once completing those three treatments, they evaluate the results with their provider. The cost of the microneedling package depends on whether or not a patient decides to add AnteAGE Growth Factor Serums.

Microneedling is a perfectly safe treatment when performed by a licensed provider in a medical facility like ours. SkinPen® comes with a single-use, sterile needle cartridge that is built with your safety in mind. The device is also surrounded by a proprietary BioSheath that acts as a barrier to prevent any possible cross contamination. No other manufacturer can make that claim, which is part of the reason SkinPen by Bellus Medical is the only FDA-cleared microneedling device. As we take health and cleanliness very serious, we are required to meet the highest standards of health and safety which is why we chose SkinPen as our microneedling device.

Though both procedures can be tolerable without the need for medication, we aim to provide a calm and relaxing experience for our patients at Pure Beauty Aesthetics.  You will be instructed to arrive to your appointment approximately 30 minutes early to cleanse your skin and apply a prescription grade numbing cream. This cream has been tested and specially formulated for the most comfortable Microneedling treatment. 

Yes, you will get the best results when you follow the home care instructions. The products we include in your package have been carefully selected and clinically proven to enhance your results. They have been formulated to aid in the wound healing process and protect your skin from further damage following treatment.

The number of procedures required will be based upon your individual procedure goals and the overall health of your skin. Most patients receive a series of three procedures spaced about four weeks apart.

The natural repair process of your own skin continues to progress through the course of several weeks. Damage that has occurred over an extensive period of time won’t disappear immediately. You may not see the final result for up to six months following your final session. *Individual results will vary. 

The total healing time depends on each individual. Most patients have some slight swelling and redness/pinkness (like a mild to moderate sunburn) for two to four days following the microneedling procedure. Some people may see their skin return to normal in about 24 hours.
