REAL Clinic chose the SkinPen because it is the world’s first and only FDA-approved microneedling device with an excellent safety record and is clinically proven to work after just one treatment. It is an effective treatment for reducing the appearance of scars (eg, acne scars), wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and the general appearance of skin with age. SkinPen is a versatile treatment which can be used on any part of the body including the face, neck and chest area.
SkinPen works by creating controlled micro-channels in the skin. This will stimulate the body’s natural wound healing response to help regenerate the skins surface as well as stimulating the production of collagen. The process of microneedling will not cause any scarring, although any existing scar tissue is reshaped and resurfaced while preserving the overall structure of the skin. This results in younger, smoother, more even-toned and firmer skin.
Lines and wrinkles can form with ageing as the skin loses its natural structure due to a depletion in collagen and elastin, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone. Regeneration of injured skin occurs from new collagen fibres forming at the site of injury, which improves the overall support structure of the skin.
By inducing controlled lesions, the skin initiates a natural reparative and restorative response. The skin begins to recover by activating the production of new collagen and elastin proteins, which act as the skin’s natural scaffolding and structure restoring its strength. The result is firmer, smoother, more youthful looking skin.
