Microneedling With Skin Pen®
SkinPen® by Crown Aesthetics is the first microneedling device cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, clinically proven to safely and effectively treat facial acne scars for ages 22 and up. SkinPen creates controlled micro-punctures to stimulate the body’s natural wound-healing process, while minimizing cellular damage.
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that creates micro wounds in the skin to stimulate collagen production. This multi purpose treatment takes advantage of the body’s natural healing process to treat a variety of skin conditions. To achieve optimal results, a series of multiple treatments is typically recommended.
wHAT IT IS
The SkinPen is effective at reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, large pores, and stretch marks. The SkinPen has also recently been approved by the FDA for the treatment of wrinkles on the neck, which allows us to serve many new patients during a time when “tech neck” and “zoom boom” have become a troubling side effect from hours spent on the phone and computer.
how it works
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure with very little downtime. Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed and a numbing cream will be applied prior to the treatment. Immediately after treatment, your skin will likely be red for 1-3 days. You can return to your normal routine immediately after the procedure, but you should avoid direct sunlight.
