What is MedicalMicroneedling?

Medicalmicroneedling is a revolutionary skin rejuvenation treatment that stimulates collagen and elastin production through controlled micro-injuries in the skin. These microscopic punctures trigger the body’s natural healing response, resulting in firmer, smoother, and more youthful skin. Unlike treatments that damage the epidermal barrier, microneedling preserves the skin’s integrity while promoting regeneration from within.

How Does SkinPen Microneedling Work?

SkinPen microneedling utilizes precision-controlled needles to create microchannels in the skin. These microchannels allow for a minimally invasive elastin and collagen induction treatment that can:

• Stimulate collagen and elastin production.
• Improve skin texture and elasticity.
• Enhance absorption of topical treatments, such as PRF (Platelet-Rich Fibrin).

The SkinPen’s advanced technology ensures precision, safety, and minimal downtime, making it a trusted choice for patients in the areas of Redmond and Bend, Oregon who are seeking effective non-surgical skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.

What Does MedicalMicroneedling Treat?

Microneedling with SkinPen is effective for addressing a wide range of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles: Softens lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
• Acne scars: Improves texture and reduces the appearance of scars.
• Stretch marks: Minimizes visibility on the abdomen, thighs, and other areas.
• Sun damage: Smooths coarse, sun-damaged skin.
• Pore size: Reduces enlarged pores for a smoother complexion.
• Surgical or burn scars: Enhances skin’s appearance and texture.

SkinPen Microneedling: Candidates and Consultation

Unlike some resurfacing treatments that can pose risks to darker skin tones, SkinPen microneedling is FDA-cleared and clinically proven to be safe for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick types IV-VI. Treatments can be adjusted to suit sensitive or more resilient skin, making it highly adaptable. However, individuals experiencing an active infection or those with a history of pigment-related issues may need to delay treatment or need specialized pre and post-treatment care.

A comprehensive consultation with one of our providers will evaluate your health history and areas of concern to confirm your compatibility with SkinPen microneedling and that it’s the right treatment approach for addressing your specific concerns. If you are a candidate for SkinPen, we will provide a customized treatment plan with recommendations tailored to your goals.

Benefits of Microneedling with SkinPen

• Collagen Boost: Collagen is an essential protein in skin that forms a matrix that retains moisture and holds skin cells together. As collagen decreases, skin loses its youthful fullness and dewy radiance.
• Increased Elastin: Like collagen, elastin is an essential protein that diminishes over time, causing skin to become less firm. More elastin means less skin laxity.
• Minimally Invasive: Safe, effective, and requires minimal downtime.
• Enhanced Product Absorption: Opens microchannels to allow treatments like PRF to penetrate deeply.
• Customizable: Tailored to your specific skin concerns and goals.

Recovering from Microneedling

Most microneedling treatments take about 30 minutes, depending on the areas treated. Here’s what to expect during recovery:

• Immediate Post-Treatment: Your skin may appear red for 1–2 days, similar to a mild sunburn.
• Minor Sensitivity: Some mild bruising, sensitivity, or pin-spot bleeding may occur.
• Gradual Improvement: Results develop over 4–6 weeks as collagen and elastin production increase.

Our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you achieve an optimal outcome and a smooth recovery. During your consultation, be sure to ask how you can enhance your microneedling results with the regenerative power of platelet-rich fibrin that we process from a small draw of your blood and administer at the end of your SkinPen session.
