SkinPen

By Sotirios Papafragkou, MD, FACS

SkinPen activates your body’s natural skin-healing power to increase collagen and elastin, so your skin returns to a healthier looking and youthful appearance. Maintain a healthy, young looking skin!!

SkinPen is an FDA-approved microneedling device approved for treatment of acne scars in patients 22 years and older. The SkinPen also improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck and is also intended to treat pigmentation conditions (Dyschromia) including Melasma, Vitiligo and Solar Lentigines. With the highest level of safety and medical-grade quality, SkinPen precisely delivers thousands of micro-punctures to the skin, stimulating the growth of new collagen and elastic fibers (Collagen Induction Therapy). Over time, this helps to improve the appearance of scars, fine lines, pores, uneven pigmentation, and overall skin texture. The skin may be treated with anesthetic prior to the procedure to reduce discomfort, which tends to be mild but may vary from person to person. 

Redness and swelling (like a sunburn) are common for 1 to 3 days but may last longer. A series of treatments provides the best results; improvement is gradual and may continue months after treatment. 

PRE-TREATMENT: 

SkinPen What to Expect: 

POST-TREATMENT: optimize your results & reduce the risk of infection, irritation, and allergic reactions 

Day of Treatment:for 4 hours after the procedure, USE ONLY SkinFuse Lift HG ON THE TREATED AREAS unless otherwise instructed. Although this may sting for a few seconds immediately after application, it serves as a skin protectant and “sealant,” optimizing the response to SkinPen treatment. Do not use water (which is not sterile) or skin care products on the treated area until 4 hours have passed.
