Microneedling
Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that uses tiny sterile stainless steel needles to cause micro-injuries or punctures to the skin. Microneedling is usually done in three sessions spaced either four to six weeks apart depending on the individual's healing time.
At Skin Medex, we use the SkinPen for our microneedling treatments because it’s the first FDA-cleared microdneedling device in the world, clinically proven to safely and effectively fight the appearance of neck wrinkles and 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.
The SkinPen works in three simple steps, designed to activate the skin’s natural healing process. Following each session, the skin begins to heal itself, looking more renewed and rejuvenated over time. SkinPen is only used in professional settings and delivers dramatic results without the use of heat or chemicals.
What are the Benefits of Microneedling?
Microneedling is a great way to stimulate collagen production, improve the texture and tone of your skin, and minimize stretch marks, scars, and wrinkles. When micro-injuries are created on the skin using the needles the body responds by sending healing agents in the form of elastin and collagen to repair the area. This promotes the regrowth of new skin at the sites of injury. As the skin starts to heal you can experience plumper, more radiant skin. The lifting and tightening benefits can be observed at six to eight weeks as collagen has been increased.

Is Microneedling Safe?
The SkinPen is the first FDA -cleared microneedling device approved for the face and an area on the body. This is a non-invasive procedure that requires little downtime for patients.
How Long Does the Benefits of Microneedling last?
The benefits of microneedling can be seen over several months. Depending on the severity of the skin concern more sessions may be needed to achieve optimal correction. To boost and keep microneedling results longer, scheduling maintenance sessions and pairing it with a medical-grade skin care regimen is recommended.
