Microneedling Specialist

What is Microneedling with the SkinPen?

Microneedling with the SkinPen is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to improve skin texture and tone by stimulating your skin’s natural healing process. The SkinPen is a device with tiny, sterile needles that create microchannels in the skin. These micro-injuries prompt your body to produce more collagen and elastin, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful-looking skin.

This treatment is effective for:

• Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Minimizing acne scars
• Improving skin tone and texture
• Shrinking the appearance of enlarged pores

What is the process for SkinPen Microneedling?

The procedure typically takes 30-60 minutes. A numbing cream is applied to ensure comfort. Once the skin is prepped, the SkinPen is used to create controlled micro-injuries on the surface of the skin. Following the treatment, a soothing serum is applied, and post-care instructions are provided.

How long do results last?

Results develop gradually as collagen production increases. Most people see noticeable improvements within 4-6 weeks, with optimal results after a series of 3-6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.

Microneedling RF with Morpheus8

What is Microneedling RF with Morpheus8?

Microneedling RF (radiofrequency) with Morpheus8 combines traditional microneedling with the added benefit of radiofrequency energy. This treatment not only stimulates collagen production through micro-injuries but also delivers heat deep into the dermis to tighten skin, reduce fat, and achieve more dramatic skin rejuvenation.

Morpheus8 is effective for:

• Skin tightening and lifting
• Reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scars
• Improving skin texture and tone
• Treating sagging skin on the face, neck, and body

What is the process for Morpheus8 Microneedling RF?

The procedure takes 45-90 minutes depending on the treatment area. A numbing cream is applied, and in some cases, additional local anesthesia may be used for comfort. The device is then passed over the skin, delivering RF energy into the deeper layers. Some redness and swelling may occur post-treatment, but this subsides within a few days.

How long do results last?

Results are visible after a few weeks and continue to improve over the next 3-6 months as collagen rebuilds. A series of 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is usually recommended for optimal results. Maintenance sessions can be scheduled as needed to sustain improvements.

What is the difference between SkinPen Microneedling and Morpheus8?

SkinPen focuses solely on creating microchannels to stimulate collagen and improve surface-level concerns like fine lines, acne scars, and overall texture. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with RF energy, allowing it to address deeper skin concerns such as sagging, fat reduction, and skin tightening for more dramatic results.

Which treatment is right for me?

SkinPen is ideal for individuals looking to improve surface-level skin concerns with minimal downtime. Morpheus8 is better suited for those seeking more extensive skin rejuvenation, tightening, and lifting. During a consultation, your provider can help determine which treatment aligns best with your goals.

Is there downtime for these treatments?

SkinPen typically involves minimal downtime, with mild redness and sensitivity that resolve within 1-3 days. Morpheus8 may have slightly more downtime due to redness, swelling, and pinpoint scabbing, which generally subside within a week.
