SkinPen Microneedling in Charlotte

Microneedling helps to minimize pores, stretch marks and scarring (such as keloid and surgical and acne scars). SkinPen microneedling in Charlotte is generally painless and most patients see results within just 6 to 8 days after treatment.

SkinPen Advanced Microneedling

SkinPen is run along the skin’s surface to increase the production of normal woven collagen (similar to fractional laser treatments) but without the side effects and downtime. By creating microinjuries in the skin, SkinPen microneedling treatments in Charlotte stimulate the natural healing process which results in new, healthy skin cells and improved elasticity.

Who is a Candidate for SkinPen Microneedling?

SkinPen is a very versatile microneedling option. Because the treatment is highly customizable and the device can be adjusted for varying needle depths, SkinPen microneedling is safe for all skin types and tones. While those with darker skin tones are at risk for hyperpigmentation from other microneedling treatments, SkinPen can be adjusted to make treatment safe and effective for these patients. SkinPen microneedling is a suitable treatment for Charlotte patients who want to address irregular skin tone or texture like enlarged pores, stretch marks, or scarring as well as signs of aging like sagging, wrinkles, or age spots.

Is This Treatment Painful?

SkinPen treatments are relatively painless. Deeper treatments may require topical anesthetic cream to be applied before the procedure.

Downtime

Generally there is no downtime. But you may experience facial redness for 12 to 48 hours after the treatment. Most people are able to return to normal daily activities immediately after treatment.

Combining Microneedling with Other Treatments

Microneedling is often paired with other treatments to increase effectiveness and rejuvenation results. The microchannels created in the skin by SkinPen treatment allow for topical treatments to more deeply penetrate layers of the skin, so your esthetician will likely recommend applying professional-quality topical products immediately after your microneedling treatment. Some patients may also choose to have chemical peels or injectables such as Botox along with microneedling to enhance their anti-aging results. During a consultation, a complete and personalized treatment plan will be created for you to address all of your goals.

Wendy DeGiacomo the licensed esthetician is awesome! When I had Wendy take a look at my skin she immediately prescribed me the product package that my skin needed and it has been amazing! She was also able to help my skin with Botox and facials. My skin is smooth and flawless and yours can be too if you have a recommendation from Wendy at Ditesheim Cosmetic Surgery!
