There are many
different kinds of pens with a variety of different functions, but have you
ever known one to help with fine lines and wrinkles, or clear up acne scarring?
Some of the pens we use at Florida Skin Center do just that! Specifically,
these pens are electric skin needling devices used for a treatment called
Micro-needling. Micro-needling is a non-surgical procedure for facial
rejuvenation that uses micro-needles create controlled skin injury.
Skin injury?! Why would you
want to do that?
The “injuries” are actually
microscopic, which are made as the tiny needles penetrate the surface
of your skin. This action causes the body to produce new collagen
and elastin,which in turn stimulates tissue regeneration
and improves the appearance of wrinkles or scars on the skin as well
as the overall texture of the treated area.
Thirty minutes prior to
treatment, a topical numbing cream is applied to ensure minimal discomfort.
During the treatment, the needles penetrate into the dermis layer of the skin,
found immediately below the surface layer of your skin (epidermis). This
creates microscopic channels in the skin that enhance absorption of products.
For the next step, we apply TNS
Recovery Complex, which contains human growth factors. These growth factors
cause the skin to start producing more collagen, strengthens the skin’s
natural ability to heal and regenerate, and soothe redness and
inflammation. TNS Recovery Complex also helps improve the appearance of fine
lines and wrinkles—making it a perfect match for this kind of treatment. We
also apply a cool, peptide-infused mask to help close the channels created by
the needles.
After the treatment, you may
notice some redness and mild swelling similar to sunburn, which can last for
2-3 days after the treatment. After about a week you will notice improvements,
and with each passing week you’ll notice further improvements as the skin
continues to heal itself.
On
average, we recommend at least 4 treatments done every 2-3 weeks. If you have
any questions or would like more information feel free to call our office
