The Benefits Of SkinPen MicroNeedling You Really Need To Know

SkinPen Microneedling is a universal treatment that practically anybody—yes, even you — can reap rewards from! Whatever your gender and skin type, we’re pretty certain that once you’ve read this article, SkinPen microneedling is going to be at the top of your must-have beauty treatments. 

Benefits of SkinPen microneedling in a nutshell

• Enhances fine lines & wrinkles.
• Firms up mild skin laxity, like around the eyelids or mouth.
• Diminishes acne, scars, and stretch marks.
• Aids in the elimination of age spots, sun damage, melasma, and hyperpigmentation.
• Minimizes pore size.

Not only are the results amazing, but here are seven compelling reasons to opt for this versatile treatment. 

FDA approved treatment

Concerns about the safety of microneedling are understandable, but there's no need to worry. SkinPen® Precision by Crown Aesthetics is the first FDA-cleared device with clinical evidence supporting its ability to enhance the appearance of facial acne scars and wrinkles on the neck in individuals aged 22 and older. 

Collagen, the protein responsible for maintaining skin's firmness and youthfulness, along with elastin, which gives skin its elasticity, are both crucial for a healthy complexion. SkinPen microneedling consistently stimulates the production of collagen and elastin, resulting in a natural improvement in skin appearance. Whether you have dry or oily skin or a dark or fair complexion, the benefits of collagen and elastin are universal. Microneedling with SkinPen is not only effective but also gentle and safe for everyone.  

Natural skin rejuvenation 

SkinPen® offers a completely natural path to rejuvenation. Harnessing the power of collagen induction therapy, SkinPen triggers your body's own repair mechanisms. Through the gentle use of 14 sterile, medical-grade needles, SkinPen creates tiny "micro-injuries" at a microscopic level, prompting your body to naturally supply collagen to heal and rejuvenate the skin.

What’s more, SkinPen doesn't rely on added chemicals to be effective. While we may include a hydrating serum like hyaluronic acid, SkinPen's efficacy doesn't hinge on these extras. Whether you have sensitive skin, allergies, prefer a minimalist approach, or simply love clean and organic beauty, microneedling with SkinPen is the perfect treatment choice for you.

No downtime

One of the benefits of SkinPen microneedling that clients like most is that there's absolutely no recovery time needed after treatment. Unlike lasers or other collagen-inducing procedures, SkinPen typically involves minimal to no downtime. A single session lasts around 30 minutes, and since we apply a topical numbing cream to the area, while microneedling might feel a bit uncomfortable, it's generally not painful. You might notice your skin appearing slightly redder than usual, similar to a mild sunburn.

You're free to carry on with your regular activities immediately after the treatment, just remember to apply sunscreen to protect your skin and wait 24 hours before applying makeup. Any redness typically subsides within a few days, and within about a week, you'll begin to notice improvements like smaller pores and enhanced firmness in your skin.

Treat any part of your body

SkinPen isn't just for your face – it's versatile enough to work wonders anywhere on your body, whether it's your hands, stretch marks, or any other area you can think of!

The benefits of SkinPen extend beyond facial rejuvenation. It's a fantastic option for treating hands and is particularly effective in reducing the appearance of stretch marks or scars, including surgical scars, regardless of their location on your body.

For more pronounced concerns such as stretch marks, acne scars, or deep wrinkles, it's recommended to schedule a consistent series of SkinPen treatments. Typically, you'll need anywhere from 3 to 7 sessions to achieve optimal results and experience a significant transformation.

Helps prevent the signs of aging

Microneedling doesn’t only help reverse premature aging but also significantly slows down the aging process. Premature aging happens when your existing collagen gets damaged from things like smoking, sun exposure, air pollution, and more. These environmental factors not only harm existing collagen but also slow down the production of new collagen.

Unfortunately, aging signs become visible when there isn't enough good-quality collagen and elastin in the skin. Microneedling encourages the skin to produce more collagen and elastin, which helps erase aging signs and delays the appearance of new ones.

Cost-effective treatment

Microneedling sessions typically start at around $200, making it an incredibly cost-effective option for rejuvenating your skin. When compared to the prices of medical-grade skincare products and other collagen-inducing treatments like lasers, which often exceed $1,000 per session, microneedling offers excellent value for money.

Microneedling can boost the effectiveness of other treatments

Thanks to the microchannels formed by SkinPen, your skin becomes more receptive to products immediately after treatment. Whether we incorporate a potent serum during microneedling, follow up with a hydrafacial, or you continue using your medical-grade skincare products, they will yield better results compared to using them alone.

A word of caution 

As you can see, the benefits of SkinPen microneedling are plentiful but people who should temporarily delay treatment include:

• Pregnant or nursing moms
• Anyone with sunburn or a skin infection 
• Those with irritated skin in the treatment area
