Welcome to Flawless Aesthetics & Wellness, where we offer the latest and most advanced treatments for rejuvenating your skin, including Microneedling with SkinPen®. Microneedling has become one of the most popular non-invasive skin treatments, delivering stunning results for a wide variety of skin concerns. Discover how this treatment can help you achieve healthier, smoother, and younger-looking skin.
What is Microneedling?
​
Microneedling, also known as collagen induction therapy (CIT), is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates the body’s natural healing process by creating tiny micro-injuries in the skin. These micro-injuries promote the production of collagen and elastin, two key proteins that keep the skin firm, smooth, and youthful.
​
At Flawless, we use the SkinPen®, the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, known for its precision, safety, and effectiveness. SkinPen® microneedling is clinically proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and other common skin imperfections.
Benefits of Microneedling with SkinPen®
Microneedling offers numerous benefits for those looking to improve the health and appearance of their skin. Here's what you can expect:
​
1. Stimulates Collagen Production
-
Microneedling triggers your skin’s natural healing response, encouraging the production of collagen and elastin, which can reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin.
2. Improves Skin Texture
-
This treatment helps smooth out rough patches, giving you softer, more even-textured skin.
3. Reduces Acne Scars & Hyperpigmentation
-
Microneedling can improve the appearance of acne scars, sun damage, dark spots, and other pigmentation issues.
4. Minimizes Pores
-
With consistent treatments, microneedling can help reduce the appearance of large pores, resulting in a smoother complexion.
5. Enhances Product Absorption
-
After microneedling, your skin is more receptive to serums and other skincare products, enhancing their effectiveness.
How Does SkinPen® Microneedling Work?
The SkinPen® microneedling device features ultra-fine, medical-grade needles that create controlled micro-injuries in the skin's surface. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's natural wound healing process in three stages:
​
1. Inflammation
The skin's immune system is triggered to respond to the tiny injuries, cleansing the wound, and increasing blood flow and tissue repair.
2. Proliferation
New cells and collagen-rich tissue form, replacing the damaged areas and creating a more even skin texture.
3. Remodeling
Collagen and elastin strengthen the skin's structure, resulting in firmer, smoother skin.
Each session typically takes 30-60 minutes, depending on the area being treated, and most clients notice visible improvements after just one treatment. However, a series of 3-6 treatments is recommended for optimal results.
Who is a good candidate for Microneedling?
Microneedling with SkinPen® is safe for most skin types and tones. It’s ideal for individuals who want to improve the overall health and appearance of their skin without the need for invasive procedures or significant downtime.
You may be a good candidate if you have:
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
