What is SkinPen® Precision?
SkinPen® Precision is the leading microneedling device and it works to remodel the skin by creating temporary microscopic channels in your skin. This simple procedure activates your body’s natural skin-healing power to increase collagen and elastin so your skin returns to a healthier looking and youthful appearance. This device is also intended to improve the appearance of acne scars and even surgical scars. It can used on all skin types and tones on patients aged 22 years and older.
New Collagen… New You
Collagen and elastin are the essential protein fibers in the skin that give it support and elasticity. As we age, these fibers break down and can cause wrinkles. Regenerating these can help give you a more youthful appearance, reduce wrinkles in your neck and face, and improve appearance of scars.
What to expect:
The treatment takes about 30 minutes, depending on the area treated, with little to no down time. Topical numbing agent will be applied prior to your treatment to assure maximum comfort. Following the treatment your skin may appear slightly pink to red, similar to a mild sunburn, which will resolve within 24 hours. You will need to avoid sun exposure and vigorous exercise for 3 days following your treatment. Results may appear after just one treatment, but will continue to improve three to six months following your last treatment. Dr. Gottlieb may recommend a series of sessions based on your individual goals.
