Microneedling Tampa - What Is The Skin Pen®?
Skin Pen® is the first and most commonly used microneedling medical device on the market that the FDA has approved for the treatment of adult facial acne scars. But Skin Pen® is not just about acne scars. Skin Pen® can effectively treat a host of other issues. Skin Pen® works to improve overall skin tone and texture, reducing fine lines and discolorations. The Skin Pen® can help with all types of scars and has even shown some benefits in reducing stretch marks.
How Does the Skin Pen® Works?
To begin with, Skin Pen® uses a sterile tip containing 12 pinpoint needles to make small, controlled, microscopic, evenly-spaced punctures into the skin. Furthermore, the small punctures created can sometimes cause pinpricks of blood to rise to the surface, inducing a wound-healing response.
However, the key to Microneedling is the wound-healing response. The body produces new collagen and elastin, resulting in fresher skin appearance with more strength and resilience.
On the other hand, with multiple treatments stimulating collagen production, the outcome is the softening of wrinkles and fine lines. As well as better skin tone and texture, and reduced large pores. It can also soften other surface irregularities like crepey skin and stretch marks.
Moreover, aging causes the loss of collagen, and the Florida sun exposure, along with genetic and hormonal changes, leads to wrinkles. It stimulates natural collagen production to eliminate wrinkling and keep your skin firm, plump, and youthful. For best results, a series of 3 or more microneedling treatments are suggested. For instance:
- Package of 3: $810.
- Package of 6: $1530.
- Package of 10: $2500.
Microneedling Tampa - What To Expect From The Skin Pen® Procedure?
In general, Skin Pen® treatments are short and mostly painless in-office procedures. Thus, applying numbing cream to the skin is key to keeping you comfortable. Then, the aesthetician cleans the skin and later applies the gel. Eventually allowing the Skin Pen® to glide more easily over the surface. Besides this, the full-face can be done in 20 minutes. To point out, the Skin Pen® microneedling procedure involves three passes over the skin surface:
- Vertically.
- Horizontally.
- Circular Motion.
Although, some patients have mild pinpoint bleeding, which resolves quickly. Therefore, a post-procedure gel is placed over the entire face, and the patient is given a supply to continue to apply over the next 24 hours to keep the skin moist. A slight sunburn look to the skin will be noticeable immediately after and last till the following day. You can apply makeup the next day and use sunscreen because the healing skin will be sensitive to the sun.

In fact, Medical studies have shown that patients see a 50% overall improvement with firmer and smoother skin and a reduction in fine lines, less skin crepeiness, and improvement in acne scars and brown spots.
Can Skin Pen® Microneedling Be Combined With Other Procedures?
Certainly, the treatment can be combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), using your skin’s natural properties and ability to repair damaged tissues. This allows your skin to look its very best. Using a small sample of your blood, the blood is spun, resulting in enriched plasma that can be applied where needed with the SkinPen®.
Moreover, the SkinPen® uses a microneedling process that creates mini-injuries. As the skin heals with SkinPen® aftercare, the result is better-looking, youthful, and smooth skin. Many patients see healthier-looking skin immediately, but damage to dermal collagen that has occurred over a long period also takes time to remodel.
You may not see the final result for up to 3-6 months following your final session, but individual results will vary. Microneedling has been done for many years with very few adverse effects reported. There is a sunburn or minor pain for a day or two. Skin discoloration is temporary and the pinpoint holes heal quickly.
