BOOSTING Collagen with SkinPenMD!
Sophisticated medical grade Microneedling devices, such as SkinPenMD Precision, create hundreds to thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second (in the case of SkinPenMD, 98,000 in fact!).
Therefore these controlled ‘micro’ injuries, stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process: Inflammation, proliferation, and skin tissue ‘remodelling’ i.e the laying down of new collagen.
But! and most importantly, without the formation of scar tissue, so keeping the overall structure of the skin in tact.
There are 3 phases to the wound-repair process:
- Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to disinfect the wounds, remove debris, so increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
- Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
- Phase III: Remodeling. Brand new skin tissue (collagen) and blood vessels replace the wounded area
Over a period of 6 months after microneedling, the new collagen produced matures. So, the result is smoother, tighter, firmer skin. Pores become tightened, wrinkles and laxity are reduced, and scars (from say Acne) also improve.
SkinPenMD Precision is clinically proven. It reduces the appearance of acne scars. In a clinical trial, 90% of subjects would recommend the treatment to friends and family. Also, it is a minimally invasive procedure, performed in-surgery with little downtime.
As the first FDA-cleared microneedling device, SkinPenMD sets the industry standard for safety.
Stephanie can use combination treatments such as Hydrafacial and microneedling together.
“Both Hydrafacial and SkinPenMD are fantastic treatments in their own right. But when used in combination, the results I’ve had have been beyond my expectations. Combined with the right homecare, you really can have the best skin of your life!"
