Microneedling is an aesthetic procedure which involves puncturing the skin with tiny sterilised needles. The small wounds stimulate your body to make more collagen and elastin, this heals your skin and help you look younger. This is known as collagen induction therapy (CIT).
At Precision Aesthetics, our microneedling device of choice is SkinPen®. It is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPen® is trusted by leading aestheticians, dermatologists, and Plastic Surgeons. A four-step process in as little as thirty minutes will target facial acne scars and neck wrinkles for smoother, more radiant, younger-looking skin.
Microneedling will assist with issues like:
SkinPen® is a 30-minute treatment with little to no downtime fitting any busy schedule! It is also a fast and comfortable procedure working in 4 simple stages:
Numb: SkinPen® offers a COMFORTABLE procedure! Based on your expectations, a numbing cream may be used to minimize discomfort.
Treat: SkinPen® creates thousands of controlled micro-injuries (or microchannels) in the skin, eliciting the body’s NATURAL wound healing cascade
Hydrate: The individual use Lift HG glide gel that we will use during the procedure to help the pen glide over the skin, and also send it home with you to use for the first 24 hours.
Calm: RESCUE Calming Complex, specifically formulated for post-microneedling, to begin using after 24 hours to further calm the skin and reduce downtime.
The procedure starts your body’s healing process by making collagen and elastin to heal the tiny injuries. This collagen thickens skin and improves the appearance of wrinkles..
Most patients get microneedling of the face, but it can also be done on other body parts, such as your stomach or thighs.
SkinPen offers a little to no downtime experience. Patients leave your practice with the appearance of a sunburn (most resolving within 3 days), which is a socially acceptable public appearance that allows them to continue about their day.
A mild sensation: Most patients feel only the slightest of vibrations of the SkinPen® during the procedure.
There are minimal post-procedure effects: The skin will look slightly pink to red right after, like a to a mild to moderate sunburn.
Most common treatment responses experienced: dryness, rough skin, tightness, redness, itching, peeling, tenderness, discomfort, and burning. These conditions disappear over time without any further complications.
SkinPen® creates multiple of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process.
SkinPen® Follows A 3-Step Process:
SkinPen®’s microneedles puncture the skin, triggering your immune system to disinfect the wounds, increase blood flow, remove debris, and start to create new tissue.
The micro-wounds made by SkinPen® are rebuilt with new granulation cells that include collagen proteins. A new network of blood vessels also forms.
The micro wounds are replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels comprising of rich collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins improve skin youthfulness.
Patients see the difference!
At month one (After just one procedure): Up to 80%.
At month six (After three procedures): Over 90%!
All facial areas, including the neck, demonstrated statistically significant improvements in fine lines and wrinkles.
Skinpen® is a minimally invasive treatment performed in-office with little to no downtime. SkinPen® is clinically proven to fight the appearance of neck wrinkles and reduce the appearance of acne scars.
SkinPen® stimulates your skin’s natural ability to repair itself! The variable depth (0.25mm to 2.5mm) of SkinPen® gives it the flexibility to create change in many body areas, including the neck, face, chest, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back.
The SkinPen® is a medical-grade, state-of-the-art tool and looks like a thick “pen” with a disposable tip of 14 surgical-grade stainless steel needles. It is available only through licensed skincare professionals working under medical supervision.
At Precision Aesthetics in Johannesburg, we use the VECTRA® 3-D imaging system during consultations to provide our patients with what we believe is the most complete education possible regarding their cosmetic and plastic surgery procedures. It also helps to demonstrate to them the results they can expect.
