SkinPen was the first medical grade device to be Health Canada approved for safe and effective treatment of facial acne scarring. It is considered the gold standard of Microneedling. The procedure involves the use of tiny needles that create micro injuries in the top layer of your skin. In turn, it triggers your skin’s natural healing response. As your skin heals, it produces more collagen and elastin which are essential proteins that keep your skin firm, smooth and youthful.

Preparation
The treatment area is pre-cleansed with a gentle medical grade cleanser and then a topical numbing cream of lidocaine is applied in order to ensure a comfortable experience.
You will feel little to no pain during your session. The length of treatment time depends on the size of the treatment area, but most treatments take between 30-45 minutes after the numbing process. When a numbing cream is used, most patients only report feeling a slight vibration from the SkinPen® device during treatment. The process is actually minimally invasive and practically painless.
During Your Session
The Skinpen device will glide across the surface of the treatment area with the use a hydrating serum. The depth and speed of the tiny needles are adjustable and can be slowed down or accelerated in order to improve the efficiency of your treatment. As the device is moved across your skin, the attached tiny needles create micro-injuries on the outermost skin layers very rapidly. An entire treatment session will last less than one hour.
Afterwards, a red light therapy facial mask will be applied if you are looking for a rejuvenation. It will also help improve your overall skin texture and appearance. A blue Light therapy will applied for acne prone skin.
