Introducing SkinPen

We all want to maintain a young, supple, plump, and glowing skin. However, as we age, the skin naturally loses its elasticity, and combined with gravity, it causes sagging skin and wrinkles. There are several cosmetic procedures in the market available that people can use to replenish the glow and elasticity of their skin. However, SkinPen has captured many people’s attention. To help decide whether it is the best option, here are some things you need to know.

What Is The SkinPen?

Made by Crown Aesthetics, this is the first FDA-approved microneedling device worldwide. The preciseness of the device is unmatched, which has given it the golden microneedling standards.

What Does It Do?

The SkinPen makes hundreds to thousands of tiny skin punctures in the skin per second using fine needles. This triggers your skin’s natural healing process, which promotes the formation of new collagen, which helps tighten the skin.

It does this without forming any scars, and you can use it to deal with:

• • • Neck wrinkles.
    • Acne scars for people above 22 years.
    • Fine lines, wrinkles, and deep folds.
    • Sun and age spots.
    • Stretch marks.

Your specialist can customize how deep the needles penetrate depending on the severity of your issue and the thickness of the skin. The deeper the needle penetrates, the better the results. The depths usually range from .25 mm to 2.5 mm. While many people use this device to cater to their face, you can also use it on your arms, stomach, chest, and legs. This device is safe to use on all skin types with expected high-quality results. Also, unlike other skin rejuvenation methods like chemical peels or lasers, the SkinPen does not damage your skin. Therefore, you can use it over a long period.

What to Expect

Before the procedure, your specialist needs to ensure you are a good candidate. You should be over 20 years old and have no skin infections. This does not only apply to active skin infections and rashes but also to internal viral and bacterial infections. Since microneedling using the SkinPen is a non-invasive procedure, you don’t have to do a lot of preparations before the treatment. However, you have to stop taking blood-thinning medications around two weeks before your appointment.

You should also avoid taking any foods or beverages that can increase your blood pressure, like alcohol, caffeine, too much salt, and smoking two weeks before. Finally, don’t use topical acne medication and retinoid for a week or two before the procedure. You should also avoid sun exposure a day before the procedure because specialists cannot perform it on sunburnt skin. When going in, don’t apply any makeup or products.

Because of the fine nature of the needles, you will not experience any pain or discomfort during the treatment. However, your specialist can use a numbing cream if you are concerned about any discomfort. The specialist then cleans the skin using an alcohol-based cleaner and runs the device over the targeted area. Most treatments take around 45 minutes, but the time could differ depending on how many places you want to be treated and the severity of the issue.

Depending on your skin type and requirements, the specialist might apply a hydrating serum after the procedure. You don’t require any recovery time, and you can go back to your daily routine immediately.

Some of the instructions that will help you get the best results include:

• • • Don’t apply makeup for the first 24 hours.
    • Avoid sun exposure and apply sunscreen with at least 30 SPF.
    • Use lukewarm water to wash the treated area.
    • Do not exercise within the first 24 hours after the procedure.
    • Avoid using harsh products.

SkinPen Results

The procedure results are natural and can last between six months to a  year. That depends on the issue you are treating and how often you get the treatment. Sometimes, you need to get a few sessions to get desired results, depending on the issues you are addressing. Your specialist will discuss the appropriate number of sessions during your consultation, depending on your issue.

While specialists guarantee the results of this procedure, you should have realistic expectations. Results differ from person to person depending on their skin type, the severity of their issue, and the specialist conducting the procedure. Therefore, ensure you discuss with your socialist the realistic results before the treatment.

To enhance the procedure results, you can discuss with your provider which other treatments to couple it with for your desired result. If you also want to get Botox, you can schedule your Botox appointment before your microneedling appointment.
