Skinpen PRP Microneedling
Skinpen PRP Microneedling
Wellness Code is proud to offer microneedling using SkinPen®, the only FDA-approved device on the market. This treatment uses stainless-steel needles in a single-use tip to create microscopic channels in the skin without using lasers. It triggers a cascade of healing that boosts collagen production by creating a controlled “injury” on the skin.
Microneedling with SkinPen® is primarily used to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and scars and improve skin texture. While the treatment does not target pigment, some patients may find their complexion more even after getting healthier skin.
Benefits of Microneedling with SkinPen® include:
- Quick 20-30 minute procedure
- Minimally invasive
- Skin rejuvenating
- Suitable for all skin types
- Helps improve fine lines & wrinkles
- Reduces acne scarring
- More gentle than lasers or chemical peels
- Healing is ongoing after the procedure
Skinpen PRP Microneedling
A combination of PRP and microneedling can speed up healing and promote skin regeneration, resulting in better outcomes than microneedling alone.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a type of plasma derived from an individual’s own blood. A blood sample is drawn from the patient and placed into a centrifuge, which separates PRP from blood. It is spun for about 15 minutes. Natural growth factors and other cytokines found in PRP promote the regeneration of soft tissues. The PRP is applied directly to the channels created by microneedling to stimulate natural healing and collagen synthesis. The injections take a few moments to take effect, and they are mildly uncomfortable. The procedure is quick, and fairly painless, and regular activities can be resumed immediately following the procedure.
