In recent years, microneedling has gained popularity as a safe and efficient cosmetic procedure that can significantly enhance the appearance of the skin. It functions by carefully inflicting microscopic microinjuries on the skin’s surface. Despite being invisible to the human eye, these micro-injuries are sufficient to start the body’s healing process, which involves the synthesis of new collagen and elastin.
Two proteins that support the structure of the skin and keep it firm, bright, plump, and smooth are collagen and elastin. These proteins are necessary for healthy, youthful-looking skin.
Microneedling has become a popular therapy for those who want to see noticeable improvements in their skin because of its many advantages, which include enhancing skin tone and texture, decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and increasing product absorption.
Benefits of SkinPen
The SkinPen is a medical-grade microneedling tool that complies with stringent safety regulations. Although there are various microneedling devices available, we use SkinPen at Bradford Skin Clinic as it has a number of advantages:
- SkinPen is the only mechanical microneedling device to hold all four certifications: FDA-approved, CE Mark Medical Grade Device, ISO certified for quality and assurance, and British Standards Institute certified. It has undergone extensive testing to ensure that it is safe and effective for use on all skin types and colours.
- depth settings that can be changed to suit the particular requirements of each patient. This makes it possible to precisely target particular problem areas.
- superior, sterile needles that are used just once before being thrown away, minimizing discomfort and lowering the chance of infection. Because SkinPen is the only microneedling tool with an ultrasonically sealed base, there is no chance of cross-contamination because biological fluid cannot enter the pen.
- It can be applied to the face, neck, chest, arms, hands, legs, and back, among other parts of the body.
Our SkinPen Precision is the only FDA-approved microneedling tool in the world with the CE Mark to treat the following conditions for all skin types, even though it may be used to simply rejuvenate the skin, enhance overall texture, and provide a year-round glow:
Acne Scarring
Many people have depressed scarring after a breakout, which can be filled and smoothed out by new collagen produced by the SkinPen’s regulated microchannels.
Scars from surgery
To lessen the visibility of scars from surgery, use a SkinPen to accelerate your skin’s natural wound healing process.
Wrinkles and fine lines
The capacity of SkinPen to promote collagen synthesis is among its most important advantages since it can lessen the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines.
Melasma
SkinPen decreases the appearance of hyperpigmentation by promoting the development of new skin cells and dissolving pigmented cells. It does this by encouraging the skin’s turnover of keratinocytes to reprogram hyperactive melanocytes in the pigmented areas. To lessen the appearance of hypopigmentation, Vitiligo SkinPen Precision stimulates melanocyte migration and activation into vitiligo patches.
Age and sun spots
By encouraging the skin’s keratinocyte turnover, SkinPen lightens the look of these dark patches, just like it does for melasma.
Being a non-invasive technique with no recovery time, SkinPen Precision is a practical choice for people with hectic schedules. Long-lasting effects are possible since the skin’s appearance can be enhanced for several months following treatment by the new collagen and elastin fibers created during the healing process.
