Uncover youthful skin, minimise downtime.
The SkinPen addresses the signs of ageing.
As we age the architecture of our skin deteriorates leading to fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, unwanted pigment and uneven skin texture. Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT), also known as micro-needling, is a great way to address these signs of ageing and encourage improvements in skin appearance.
Over a course of treatments, the skin is stimulated to replenish cells and produce new collagen. This results in a strengthening of the skins own support network improving texture, boosting skin thickness and affording a more youthful glow.
A little like aerating your lawn, CIT creates thousands of micro-channels to activate natural regenerative processes that rejuvenate skin. Each treatment triggers cell turnover and new protein production, helping to shift pigmentation, improve acne scarring and fight signs of ageing.
Results are gradual and continued improvement is expected as new collagen is deposited in the skin. Generally a course of treatments is prescribed to achieve desirable results.
Almost everybody!
CIT targets overall skin condition and will help to improve and maintain skin health. As a preventative treatment it assists the body in maintaining youthful skin architecture.
The SkinPen can be used over the face, neck and décolletage when targeting the signs of ageing and can be applied directly to specific acne or surgical scars.
The procedure is generally well tolerated with minimal downtime. It is a great alternative to more invasive treatments whilst still carrying significant results.
The SkinPen is the only micro-needling device in Australia to carry medical registration with the TGA (Therapeutic Goods of Australia). Robust clinical trials have demonstrated both efficacy and safety in the device and its treatment parameters. This sets it apart from other brands registered in the beauty category.
Another major point of difference lies in the SkinPen aftercare. The purchase price of a SkinPen treatment is inclusive of all the relevant, scientifically researched aftercare products to see you through your recovery.
Medical history, lifestyle factors and goals for treatment are used to assess suitable candidates.
After a thorough cleansing of the skin, topical anaesthetic is applied to assist with procedure comfort. Each session uses a sterile, single use, fine needle cartridge attached to the pen-like device. This glides over the skin for 10-15mins to deliver the treatment. Most patients report feeling a mild, vibration sensation throughout. A gentle skincare product is then applied to soothe and hydrate the skin. In depth aftercare advice and follow up instructions conclude the treatment.
Expect to feel a little warm afterwards and for some redness to persist for 24-48 hours. Some dryness, tightness and mild peeling are common in the days that follow. Aftercare products are supplied to help manage this and assist with healing.
A minimum of three sessions is recommended dependent on treatment indication.
Regular SkinPen sessions will help to maintain skin health and are a foundation of any good skin maintenance programme. After an initial treatment course, maintenance sessions can commence every 6-12 months.
SkinPen sessions are a valuable compliment to injectable treatments, providing the structural integrity that supports the action of both wrinkle relaxers and fillers.
