How does Microneedling work?

SkinPen creates thousands of microchannels that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process while minimizing cellular damage. This rejuvenates your skin from the inside out. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact.

How long is the appointment?

Plan to be in our office for two hours. One hour is spent numbing and the other hour is treatment time.

Is it comfortable?

There is some discomfort during the procedure, but to help minimize this a topical numbing ointment is applied to the treatment area making it more tolerable.

How do I care for my skin post treatment?

Mild swelling and redness in the treated area is the most common side effect. This usually subsides within the first few days after your treatment. However, if the neck is being treated these side effects as well as itching and tenderness tend to take longer to subside. This can be managed with over-the-counter topical antibiotic ointment such as Bacitracin.

We recommend using Alastin Regenerative Skin Nectar two weeks prior to the procedure to help strengthen the skin and prepare it for treatment. This can also help maximize and enhance procedure results.

Patients should avoid direct sun exposure. It is also recommended that patients use a good, broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least 30 daily.

Following you procedure, we highly recommend applying plated Intense Serum, in advanced eggs, his own base formula that delivers powerful regenerative signals to calm, inflammation, accelerate, healing, and boost collagen and elastin production. Plated helps, minimize redness and downtime amplifying your post treatment glow.

Together, Alastin Skin Nectar and plated Intense Serum prepare, protect, and restore your skin for visibly smoother, more radiant results.

Whats the difference between SkinPen and Morpheus8?

Both treatments use microneedling to simulate, collagen and improve skin texture, but they work at different depths and intensities.

SkinPen microneedling uses fine, medical- grade needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin surface. This triggers, your body's natural healing process - boosting collagen, smoothing texture, and refining pores - with minimal downtime. It's ideal for overall skin rejuvenation, acne scars, and fine lines.

Morpheus8 combines, microneedling with radio frequency (RF) energy, which delivers heat into the deeper layers of the skin and subdermal tissue. This tightens and remodels collagen at a deeper level, improving firmness, contour, and skin laxity on the face, neck and even body areas.
