Microneedling
Skinpen Microneedling creates thousands of microchannels that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. This rejuvenates your skin from the inside out.
Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to cleanse the wound, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.
Microneedling can also improve the appearance of acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, pores, stretch marks, and skin texture.
A popular add on to these treatments are the following:
-Sculptra for the “Sculptra Glow” and an extra boost of collagen stimulation
