What is Microneedling?
Microneedling is a cutting-edge skincare procedure that harnesses the power of tiny needles to rejuvenate the skin. During the treatment, a specialized device, such as the SkinPen, creates controlled micro-injuries on the skin’s surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the skin’s natural healing process, prompting the production of collagen and elastin, essential proteins for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity. As a result, microneedling effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other skin imperfections, leaving behind a smoother, more youthful complexion.
More on SkinPen
SkinPen gives your skin the reset that it needs. Not only is SkinPen the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, but it’s also made in the USA – which means it’s rigorously tested for safety. Our patients here in North Carolina have reported results in as little as three treatment sessions.
SkinPen results have been graded based on the G.Lemperle Wrinkle Assessment Scale, the Clinician’s Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (CGAIS), and the Subject Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS). The research is clear.
