SkinPen® Microneedling in The Woodlands, TX
SkinPen® Microneedling
SkinPen® Microneedling uses a minimally invasive procedure by creating controlled micro-injuries in the skin that stimulate collagen production. These micro-injuries trigger the body’s natural healing process, which results in the regeneration of new, healthier skin cells. This treatment can be used on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, décolleté, and hands, to reduce the occurrence of acne scars, stretch marks, fine lines, and wrinkles. This treatment generally takes 30 to 60 minutes, and since it involves minimal downtime, patients can quickly resume their normal activities.
SkinPen® Microneedling in The Woodlands, TX, is ideal for people who are seeking to enhance their skin or address specific skin concerns like scarring or signs of aging. This procedure can be used for all types of skin and requires multiple sessions for optimal results, with noticeable changes often seen within a few weeks of the first session. Results can last for several months as collagen continues to develop. To maintain results, periodic treatments may be recommended.

FAQ

Is SkinPen Microneedling painful?
The majority of patients report minor discomfort during the procedure. The procedure is usually preceded by the application of a numbing cream that helps reduce discomfort. After the procedure, they may observe some redness and mild swelling, but these typically subside within a few days.
