How does microneedling work? 

The revolutionary SkinPen tool provides premier skin rejuvenation results that are second to none. During your microneedling session, the SkinPen creates hundreds — sometimes thousands — of micro-sized skin punctures. 

This effect stimulates natural healing processes, the same ones that occur when you have a wound. The resulting inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling processes trigger skin tissue and collagen formation in the most natural manner possible.

After a series of SkinPen microneedling treatments, your skin completely remodels and transforms. Many of those blemishes and imperfections you have resolve over time. 

To enhance your microneedling results, you can combine your treatment with platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Derived from your own blood, PRP contains countless platelets and growth factors that jump into action and stimulate collagen, skin tissue, and elastin production. By smoothing your PRP onto your skin and injecting it with the microneedling tool, PRP penetrates deep to enhance your skin health from underlying layers. 

What are the benefits of microneedling?

Because microneedling with the FDA-cleared SkinPen device helps your skin heal and rejuvenate naturally, you can experience dramatic skin-improving results unlike any service you’ve ever had. The SkinPen is most commonly used to resolve acne scars, including stubborn acne scars that are elevated or leave you with sunken skin patches (like boxcar scars).

But SkinPen microneedling treatments from Venus Medi Spa can help with so many other issues, too. Microneedling is beneficial to minimize the appearance of: 

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged pores 
• Stretch marks 

The SkinPen can be used to treat your face, neck, décolleté, hands, or abdomen, to name a few areas. Unlike laser resurfacing treatments, microneedling with the SkinPen is safe and effective for all skin types, including dark or tanned skin. 

How often do I need microneedling treatments?

To improve the appearance, tone, and texture of your skin, your Venus Medi Spa provider is likely going to recommend a series of SkinPen microneedling treatments. You may need anywhere from four to six sessions, which should each be spaced about one month apart. 

Most SkinPen treatments take about 30 minutes, so you can easily fit your skin rejuvenation services into your busy schedule. Microneedling with PRP usually takes roughly an hour, including the processing of your blood sample. Though redness and inflammation are common afterward, these minor side effects typically resolve within 24 hours.

SkinPen microneedling results are quite long-lasting. Your skin, however, is going to continue to age. The Venus Medi Spa team usually recommends maintenance sessions once or twice a year to help you retain your youthful glow.
