SkinPen
WHAT IS SKINPEN?
SkinPen by Bellus Medical 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. 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 – and step out with confidence.
It causes controlled micro-injuries that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact. In our office, we use SkinPen for acne scarring, facial rejuvenation, and to help reduce pore size. We also can customize your facial rejuvenation with SkinPen by adding on a PRP/Selphyl treatment.
Microneedling involves a mechanical pen (SkinPen) that stimulates a chemical-free healing response. It creates thousands of microchannels with fine needles leading to collagen stimulation. This treats and prevents a number of skin blemishes and aging concerns.
