What is SkinPen Microneedling?

Microneedling is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using fine needles to create tiny punctures in the skin. These micro-injuries stimulate the body's healing process, boosting collagen and elastin production. This results in improved skin texture, reduced appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars, and an overall rejuvenated complexion.

The SkinPen treatment works in three steps to activate the skin's natural healing process. After each session, the skin starts to heal, looking more renewed and rejuvenated. SkinPen is only used in professional settings, like AG Aesthetic Center, and delivers impressive results without using heat or chemicals.

Here’s how it works:

SkinPen's microneedles penetrate the skin's surface, causing a natural immune response to disinfect, remove debris, boost blood flow, and stimulate new tissue production.
The microchannels or small openings made by SkinPen are regenerated with fresh granulation cells containing collagen proteins, and a new network of blood vessels forms.

Fresh dermal tissues develop, abundant in collagen and elastin proteins. These proteins enhance skin quality, visibly diminishing facial acne scars and neck wrinkles, resulting in smoother, more radiant, youthful-looking skin.

Clear, Smooth, Radiant: SkinPen for Acne Treatment

According to The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 80% of people between 11 and 30 years old experience acne and scarring. Acne scars often occur when blemishes become inflamed and can cause deep damage to pores, resulting in lesions. As the skin tries to heal, it can create raised tissue and uneven texture. In some cases, there may be a loss of tissue, leaving the skin's surface rough and uneven.

Treating acne scars with SkinPen is simple:

First, your face is cleansed and gently massaged, and topical anesthesia may be applied to keep you comfortable
After that, a lifting hydrogel is used to visibly reduce your facial acne scars in just three sessions, spaced 30 days apart
Your AG specialist will create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs, but most patients see an improvement in their skin within the first month after their initial treatment

Turn Back the Clock: SkinPen for Neck Wrinkles

The skin on your neck is different from that on your face. It has less fatty tissue and collagen and fewer oil glands, making it more prone to wrinkles, crepey texture, and a sagging appearance. This is why the first signs of aging often appear on the neck.

Another phenomenon causing neck wrinkles is known as "Tech Neck." The frequent, repetitive motion of looking down at devices, such as your phone, can also speed up the appearance of horizontal neck wrinkles, lines, and creases.

Whether caused by aging or technology use, neck wrinkles can make you feel less confident. Instead of hiding them, SkinPen can improve the appearance of neck wrinkles and reveal your firm, radiant, and younger-looking skin.

You can rejuvenate and renew your neck in just three sessions, spaced 30 days apart. During these sessions:

Your AG provider gently cleanses your neck and applies topical anesthesia to minimize discomfort.
A lifting hydrogel is used on your neck to assist SkinPen in smoothly gliding across your skin.
SkinPen produces numerous controlled microchannels to target natural collagen and encourage your body's innate healing process.
Following your treatment, you might experience redness or inflammation, which should diminish within 24 to 72 hours.

SkinPen Recovery and Results

After the procedure, you may experience some redness and mild swelling, similar to a light sunburn, which usually subsides within 24-48 hours. Most patients can resume their regular activities the next day, although avoiding strenuous exercise and direct sun exposure for a few days is recommended.

In the days following treatment, your skin will begin to heal and rejuvenate as collagen production increases. This process can continue for several weeks, gradually revealing smoother, firmer, and more radiant skin.

Noticeable improvements in skin texture, reduced fine lines, and minimized acne scars often become apparent after a few sessions, with optimal results typically achieved after 3-6 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart.

Deciding to undergo a series of SkinPen Microneedling treatments can bring long-lasting benefits, giving you a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Keeping up with regular maintenance sessions can help maintain the results, keeping your skin looking its best over time.
