This skincare device also specifically aims to target acne scarring. The procedure delivers thousands of micro-injuries to initiate the body’s wound healing process. Your body begins to break down damaged tissue and produce healthy new cells. These cells repair and remodel the injured tissue, producing organized, healthy dermal tissue such as collagen and elastin. SkinPen Microneedling Technology activates collagen induction therapy for beautiful, youthful-looking skin, plumping it up and smoothing out wrinkles.

SkinPen can be used on all body parts including the face, neck, chest, back, arms, hands, abdomen and legs. As we age the architecture of our skin begins to deteriorate. This leads to wrinkles, large pores and fine lines. Microneedling (Collagen Induction Therapy) is the perfect way to resolve these signs of ageing at the cellular level. Microneedling creates thousands of ‘micro-injuries’ in the skin to begin the healing process. This starts the formation of collagen and elastin. These proteins are the foundation of the skin. Our treatment creates youthful, beautiful skin. Clients will see healthier-looking skin immediately, but results will continue to improve over time. Remember dermal collagen takes time. The device uses your body’s response to rejuvenate. You can see the final results in 3-6 months following your final session. This shows the process is natural and long-lasting!

Most clients will have what looks like a mild sunburn for 2-4 days. A little bit of swelling may follow. There is downtime from normal activity. Most patients can resume their normal makeup and skin regimen within 2-3 days.

For anyone considering this treatment, at Facetherapy NI, we offer free consultations. During a consultation, the problem area or the area to be enhanced would be discussed. Different options and the advantages would be highlighted, and what to expect in terms of any minor discomfort or slight bruising. Before and after photographs of previous clients will be shown and the customer would be reassured of the highest level of professional care and safety standards that are upheld at Facetherapy NI as well as benefiting from my years of professional experience and expertise.

The number of treatments required will be based upon your goals and the health of your skin. It is recommended for most clients to receive a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. For patients with deep wrinkles, advanced photo-ageing, stretch marks or acne scars it is recommended to receive 6-8 sessions at 4-6-week intervals. We also recommend creating a maintenance plan to maintain the glow and rejuvenating effects of your personalized SkinPen treatments.
