SkinPen Microneedling can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and acne scars on the face. It works by creating tiny puncture wounds in the top layer of skin which stimulates collagen production – the collagen then helps to plump up skin and make fine lines less visible. SkinPen also helps with reducing discolouration and pigmentation, age spots, and other skin irregularities and is brilliant for problems with scarring, such as chicken pox and acne.
The procedure itself is quick and comfortable as a topical numbing cream is applied prior to treatment. A disposable medical-grade device glides across the area being treated which creates microscopic channels in the skin that encourage natural healing processes. Results can be seen after just one session but most people opt for a series of treatments in order to get the best results – as with everything consistency is key! Acne scars in particular need more treatments.
The results of SkinPen Microneedling give great long-term results, lasting six months or more, depending on the individual’s skin and post-care routine. Taking good care of your skin after treatment will help ensure longer-lasting results. It is important to use sunscreen, moisturiser, and other products as recommended by Sally Wagstaff in order to maintain healthy skin and protect it from further damage.
Overall, SkinPen Microneedling is a safe, non-invasive procedure that can provide dramatic results with minimal downtime. With proper care and maintenance, the effects of the treatment can be long-lasting for many people. If you are considering this type of procedure, talk to your doctor about how it can benefit you.
Those with more sensitive skin may experience some redness and more rarely, swelling immediately after treatment, but these side effects should subside within 24-48 hours. There is no downtime associated with SkinPen Microneedling and patients can return to regular activities shortly after the procedure is complete.
