SkinPen
At our practice, our mission is to make you look your best. We use solutions like Rejuvapen, also known as Collagen Induction Therapy or Micro-Needling, to help you feel on top of the world. Rejuvapen stimulates your skin’s collagen production, resulting in a more youthful look.
The Rejuvapen procedure is state-of-the-art from start to finish. It involves a pen-shaped instrument containing 9 micro-sized needles. As the pen moves across your skin, the needles perforate the top layers, stimulating its natural repair mechanism. This process produces collagen, a natural protein in your skin, which plumps and tightens the treated area.
Most patients feel only a slight tingling sensation during the procedure. Any minor redness or slight swelling usually goes away within a short time.
Rejuvapen can be an excellent treatment for:
- Acne Scarring: Significantly reduces dimpling and “craters” caused by acne scars.
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Makes wrinkles and fine lines appear less defined.
- Loose, Lax Skin: Your skin will look and feel lighter and lifted.
- Skin Texture and Pore Size: Your skin will appear smoother, and your pore size will be reduced.
- Stretch Marks: Your skin will feel smoother, and redness and discoloration will be reduced.
Rejuvapen is safe for all skin types. However, it is not recommended for individuals prone to keloids, those with an active skin infection, or individuals with uncontrolled diabetes.
