Microneedling and the SkinPen: A Perfect Pair

Microneedling is becoming a trusted trend in cosmetics, making it an obvious treatment for us to offer at Green Dermatology & Cosmetic Center. This minimally invasive treatment, also known as collagen induction therapy, uses a device with small, fine needles that create tiny punctures in the top layer of the skin, which results in the creation of new collagen and elastin in the skin’s surface.

As a premier medical and cosmetic dermatology center near Boca, we are always ahead of the curve, providing our clients with the best services on the market, some of which they may not even know they want or need until stepping foot in our office.

With many of our clients looking to minimize the signs of aging and improve their skin, we’ve introduced the SkinPen®, a safe and effective tool used for micro needling. According to the SkinPen website, this procedure is the only Class II, FDA cleared Microneedling Device that is the U.S. designed with precise, straight needles that support the skin’s natural healing process, and helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and smooths out wrinkles.

Worried about the recovery? No need! Microneedling with SkinPen is a quick procedure with very little downtime, minimal risk of infection or scarring, and is safe for all skin types and colors.

The SkinPen will quickly become your skin’s best friend, as it’s ideal for ongoing maintenance of that healthy, beautiful, youthful facial glow we know you pine for. Benefits also include reducing signs of aging and improved appearance of acne scars. While all patients react differently, results are often seen quickly, helping to put the procedure on the map.

There are three phases to the wound-repair process with the SkinPen:

• Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.

• Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is re-built with new granulation cells, as well as a temporary (type III) collagen and elastin, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.

• Phase III: Remodeling. The wound has been replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels. The type III collagen in the newly formed tissue is replaced with stronger type I collagen, which can contract to create a tightening or “shrink-wrap” effect on the skin.
