What Is Microneedling?
SkinPen by Bellus Medical is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device. It works by creating thousands of tiny micro-penetrations through the outer dermal layer. This stimulates your body’s natural healing process by increasing blood flow, aiding in cellular turnover, and creating regrowth of dermal tissue and blood vessels.
The Procedure
After identifying the areas of treatment, our Aesthetician will begin by gently cleansing the problem areas.
The typical treatment last about 45 minutes (unless additional areas are requested) and has minimal discomfort.
A Fantastic Result
Through the controlled stimulation of the skin’s self-repairing process your collagen will increase and any products following the treatment will be penetrated deeply into your skin. It typically takes 3 treatments to achieve the desired end result, but you will notice an improvement within a couple weeks of your first treatment. Microneedling has the effect of improving the appearance of:
- Acne scars
