Professional microneedling works by targeting the epidermis (top layers of skin) and dermis (deeper layers of skin) and remodeling scar tissue through controlled micro-injuries or punctures on targeted skin which then stimulates your body’s natural wound healing process and stimulates elastin and collagen production. Often called collagen induction therapy by dermatologists, microneedling doesn’t cause cellular damage to the surrounding tissues, and the precision offered by a patented device keeps the structure of the skin intact while providing dramatic results.

3 Phases Of SkinPen Skin Rejuvenation And Remodeling:
Inflammation Phase: SkinPen’s tiny needles perforate the skin and trigger the body’s immune response. First, the micro-injuries are disinfected, dead skin and debris are removed, and blood flow is increased to the affected areas, starting the process of creating healthy new tissue.
Proliferation Phase: New granulation cells grow in the micro-wounds as part of what’s referred to as an extracellular matrix. It is during this proliferation that blood vessels develop into a new network that delivers an increase of fresh blood flow to the area to promote faster healing.
Remodeling Phase: The micro-injuries are revitalized with new blood vessels and dermal tissues begin to grow during the remodeling phase, leading to vibrant, youthful-looking scar-free facial skin.
