Microneedling
SkinPen Microneedling
What is the SkinPen?
SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device in the world, clinically proven to safely and effectively fighting the appearance of neck wrinkles and facial acne scars for ages 22 and up. With as few as three non-invasive and affordable treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your appearance for six months after your last treatment – and step out with confidence.
How does it work?
SkinPen creates hundreds to thousands of “micro” skin punctures per second to stimulate the skin’s natural wound healing process – inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling – to prompt tissue remodeling without causing scar tissue formation. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24 hours.
Will it work for me?
Unlike some alternatives, SkinPen has been clinically proven to be effective for women and men with with all Fitzpatrick Skin Types I – VI. Likewise, unlike lasers or chemical peels that can damage skin over the long term, SkinPen treatments, when properly spaced and overseen by a physician, can be used for years.
Is it safe?
Yes, by design. SkinPen’s patented – and single-use – sterile needle cartridge is built with safety in mind. SkinPen is also surrounded by a custom-designed BioSheath that acts as a barrier to prevent cross contamination between procedures. That’s part of the reason SkinPen by Crown Aesthetics is the world’s first FDA-cleared microneedling device.
Who should not use it?
SkinPen should not be used on patients who have active skin cancer in the treatment area(s); open wounds, sores, or irritated skin in the treatment area(s); an allergy to stainless steel or anesthetics; a hemorrhagic (bleeding) disorder or hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction; are pregnant or nursing; or are currently taking drugs with the ingredient isotretinoin (such as Accutane). Talk to your doctor to see if this treatment is right for you.
SkinPen® for Neck Wrinkles
The skin on your neck is different from the skin on your face. This delicate area has less fatty tissue and collagen, along with fewer oil glands, making it more prone to wrinkles, crepey texture and a slackened appearance. That’s why the first signs of aging often appear on the neck.
But there are also other culprits behind neck wrinkles, aka “Tech Neck”. The frequent, repetitive motion of looking down at devices, like your phone can also increase and accelerate the look of horizontal neck wrinkles, lines and creases.
But whether they’re caused by age or tech, neck wrinkles can leave you feeling less confident. Instead of covering up, SkinPen can improve the look of neck wrinkles and uncover your best, firm, radiant, younger looking skin.
SkinPen® for Facial Acne Scars
Acne scars tell the story of a difficult time in the life of your skin. They usually result from blemishes that become inflamed. Sometimes pores are damaged deep within skin, which can lead to lesions. When skin attempts to repair itself, it may result in raised tissue, and uneven texture on the surface. Other times there is a loss of tissue, which leaves skin’s surface rough and uneven.
If you are dealing with facial acne scars, you’re not alone. According to The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 80% of people ages 11-30 have acne problems and scarring. Seeing acne scars every time you look in the mirror can leave you feeling less confident. But there is something you can do about it. SkinPen can improve the look of facial acne scars, for smooth, healthy skin that glows from within.
