Take advantage of the healing powers that already exist in your own body to get more youthful skin with the power of SkinPen Microneedling. This convenient treatment involves no downtime due to the minimally-invasive measure it uses to stimulate collagen production in your body. Our team at Reflections Medical Spa in Cartersville, GA is excited to tell you all the details you need to know about this age-defying treatment.
What Is SkinPen?
The SkinPen is a specially-designed professional device that can be used for applying microneedling treatments to the skin. This microneedling process stimulates collagen production in your skin to get results that make your skin look younger and more voluminous. One thing that sets this device apart from other microneedling devices is that it is also beneficial for those suffering from acne scars, as it can reduce the appearance of these unsightly marks.
Three-Stage Process of Treatment
This innovative treatment is applied over the course of a three-stage process. Using repetitive motions of the specialized needles in the device, one of our experts will treat your hands, face, or neck depending on where you would like to see results. The treatment begins with the inflammatory stage, followed by the proliferation stage and lastly the remodeling stage. All three steps of the process work in harmony to achieve the beautiful, radiant skin that you’re looking for.
The Inflammatory Stage
At the beginning of treatment, tiny micro-perforations are created in your skin using the needles within the device. This jumpstarts natural processes in your body, which begin to clean and disinfect the skin from the inside out. Blood flow and tissue creation in the treatment area will also be stimulated as a result. While the word inflammation may have negative connotations in some contexts, microneedling uses this reaction from your body to start the restoration process.
The Proliferation Stage
Your body begins to heal from the tiny perforations created by microneedling during a treatment phase called the proliferation stage. As collagen and elastin production is stimulated by the effects of microneedling, new cells are created, restoring the structure that creates voluminous, youthful skin. Your body will produce more of these proteins to leave your skin looking firmer, tighter, and all-around healthier-looking.
The Remodeling Stage
Your body’s healing process continues through the remodeling stage. New blood vessels and dermal tissues will replace old cells in your body as the skin continues to heal from the microneedling. As a result, you’ll notice firmer, tighter, and smoother skin as the results continue to develop. The new collagen your body produces can also help those suffering from acne scars prior to treatment, as that collagen will help to fill out those scars to smooth away their appearance.
Why Choose This Treatment?
With all of the different methods of receiving microneedling treatment available to you, you may ask what advantages SkinPen gives over other options available to you. There are three main factors that help this treatment stand out from other microneedling treatments that are available to patients.
